pound top round  
0 whole garlic cloves, peeled  
quart red wine vinegar  
cups julienned onions  
small bundle of fresh thyme  
bay leaves  
tablespoon whole black peppercorns  
/4 cup sugar  
cups beef stock  
cup crushed gingersnap cookies  
cup sour cream  
Stud the roast with the whole garlic cloves, and season with salt and  
pepper. Place the roast in a deep glass bowl.  
In a mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar, onions, herbs, and sugar together.  
Whisk the liquid until the sugar dissolves. Pour the marinade over the  
roast and cover with plastic wrap. Place the roast in the refrigerator  
and marinate for 72 hours.  
Remove the roast from the marinade. Strain the marinade. Place the  
roast in a braising pan. Add the beef stock to the strained liquid.  
Pour the liquid over the roast and place in the oven. The liquid  
should cover 1/2 of the roast. Braise the roast covered for 2−3 hours.  
Turn the meat several times and add additional stock if needed. Place  
pan with the braising liquid over a burner. Bring the liquid to a simmer.  
Whisk the crushed gingersnaps into the liquid. Simmer the sauce for 2−3  
minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the sour cream. Slice the  
roast and coat meat with some of the sauce. Serve the remaining  
sauce separately with potato pancakes or dumplings.
