1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut roast to fit into a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. In a large skillet brown the meat on all sides in hot oil. Drain fat.
2. In the cooker, combine the carrots, onions, celery, and pickles. Place the meat on top of vegetables. In a small bowl combine the 1/2 cup red wine, the mustard, pepper, cloves, and bay leaves. Pour over meat and vegetables in cooker.
3. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. Remove the meat from the cooker and place on a serving platter; cover with foil to keep warm.
4. For gravy: Transfer vegetables and cooking liquid to a 2-quart saucepan. Skim fat. Discard bay leaves. In a small bowl, stir together flour and the 2 tablespoons wine. Stir into the mixture in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Serve with vegetables, gravy, and hot cooked spaetzle. If desired, sprinkle with parsley. Makes 8 servings.

3/26/2012 08:26:30 AM Report Abusefantastic flavor - my husband loves when I make this... we are fortunate and have a German restaurant that sells their Spaetzle frozen at a couple of grocery stores, but you can make your own, or use noodles.

11/14/2011 06:33:21 PM Report AbuseThis is a great recipe. It tastes like a combination of Sauerbraten and the German bracciole my family makes. And I should know, I'm German. Tastes like home!
3/30/2011 08:39:38 PM Report AbuseI used a Tbsp of Dijon mustard b/c I don't like mustard overwhelming my dishes, and this turned out wonderfully! The slow cooked beef just melts in your mouth and the pickle gravy goes so well with it and your meal will be extra special if you make the recommended spaetzle on the side. Thank you for sharing!
