Recommended Wine

Domaine Saint Benoit “Laureline” Chateauneuf du Pape: Though this version of the good old “meat and potatoes” is certainly fine cuisine, it will still pair nicely with a hearty red wine, such as one from the famed French “Chateauneuf du Pape.”

Meat. Serves 4.

Note: Using Worcestershire sauce in a meat dish in a kosher kitchen can be tricky because it contains anchovies. Look for a kosher certification mark which is not accompanied by a “fish”
notation. That sauce can be used in a meat dish.
