A tender and gorgeous cut of meat that is worthy of a holiday or any celebration. The trick is using a high quality meat, like the one from Grow & Behold Foods.
Red wine sauce is the perfect accompaniment to rib roast, steaks, chops, and chicken. Make a double batch and freeze leftovers for up to 2 months. Add the sauce to your slow cooker meat dishes such as boeuf bourguignon (Beef Burgundy).

Chef’s tip: Add fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary for an herbaceous flavor. Toast whole black peppercorns in a dry pan until they crack and pop and add to the wine sauce for a steakhouse touch.
