  • 1 Cup vinegar
  • 1 Onion, sliced neatly

  • 1 Teaspoon salt

Cubesteak Marinade

  • 1 Tablespoon Pancake syrup
  • 2 Teaspoons black pepper if you grind it yourself, 3 if you use already-ground
  • 2 Teaspoons salt
  • 1 Tablespoon orange concentrate

Marinate cubesteaks for about 3 hours. Combine all the pickle ingredients a pot and bring to a boil, then let it sit for about 15 miuntes. Brown cubesteak but reserve marinade. Add pickle and marinade together and cook for about 5 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.
