EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

This recipe comes straight from the culinary capital of Italy, Bologna. A good Lambrusco wine is the best choice, both for cooking and for drinking during the dinner. The potatoes can be peeled or unpeeled, whichever way you like them best.

This is exceptional. Deceptively simple but one of the best recipes on this site that I've found. Good beef is important, as is a good wine if you are using it. I've made it with beef stock also and it's still wonderful. You will need to salt to taste, and I like to thicken the gravy a tad with potato flakes, but really you could change up this recipe to fit your tastes quite a bit. It's a great meal for the winter!
