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.

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.
