With Father’s Day around the bend, show dad how much you love him with this succulent, but healthy and meaty treat

Why is sugar added to this dish?
One tablespoon of sugar is plenty enough to balance the tartness of the vinegar in the pickles and adds a shiny glaze to the spicy beef.  No sugar, no glaze!
