The Carter's Roast Fuhrmannsbraten Braised Beef Roast

---

This beef roast is flavored with paprika, allspice and caraway, with a sauce out of tomato, soup greens and, of course, sour cream. I found this to post for zwt6 germany on about.com. The arm roast can be replaced by whatever other inexpensive cut you like. Enjoy!!
