Does adding more vinegar to a marinade depend on the size of the steak or the amount of spices put on a marinade?
Recipe called for 2 tblsp brown vinegar for a kg steak. Added other spices to the marinade.
I only used 1/2kg steak but I used the same spice amount stated for the 1kg marinade. The marinade tastes pungent and I'm thinking I used to much vinegar? I just used the same quantities for the 1kg steak.
Now I'm thinking that I should have kepd the spices the same quantities but should have proportioned my vinegar for the half kg steak...therefore use 1 tblsp?

Given that, I'd marinate the steak on the shorter time range specified because the extra vinegar will work to break down fibers - you want some of that, but not extreme amount.
No harm done.
