Preparation

Step 1

Sour Beef:
1) in a large, non-reactive bowl, combine eye roast, onions, sugar, pepper, pickling spices. Add enough apple cider vinegar to cover meat. Cover and soak in the refrigerator overnight.

2) In a large pot, dump the entire contents of the bowl. Add water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 2 hrs. Remove meat and keep warm.

3) Strain pot liquid. Dissolve gingersnaps in some of the hot liquid from pot. Stir to make a loose paste. Slowly add the gingersnap slurry back to pot. Stir, cover and simmer for about 15 mins. Gravy may need to be strained again before serving.

Dumplings:
1) Stir ingredients until soft dough forms.

2) Drop by spoonfuls into boiling gravy (or boiling water or broth); reduce heat.

3) Cook uncovered 10 mins. Cover and cook an additional 10 mins.
