Softens the meat more quickly in the marinade, and the flavour gets evened out in the course of the cooking. Adjust with a pinch of sugar if absolutely necessary.Abahachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06007129278000634520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-38228703478418624592008-01-19T17:35:00.000+00:002008-01-19T17:35:00.000+00:00I think this recipe probably predates Elizabeth Da...I think this recipe probably predates Elizabeth David. It's from a very ancient book with paper that has turnd brown with age. Orange peel sounds like a good addition.<BR/><BR/>Wine? Probably a pinot noir. As beef dishes go, it's relatively delicate.Mnemonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632549982981770230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-75374996388916726332008-01-19T16:57:00.000+00:002008-01-19T16:57:00.000+00:00Sounds great.
