2. On the fifth day, remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with kitchen paper. Reserve the marinade. Melt the butter in a large casserole or heavy pot. Add the meat and brown well on all sides. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree and reserved marinade. Cover tightly and simmer for 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
3. Remove the meat from the casserole or pot and leave it to stand for ten minutes before slicing.
4. Strain 700 ml (1 1/2 pt) of the cooking liquid through a sieve into a saucepan.
5. Bring the liquid to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve this as gravy with the sliced Sauerbraten.
