Delicious Red Wine-poached Beef
"Looking for a different style of steak? This is the perfect recipe for you. Poaching involves cooking food in liquid with a temperature ranging from 140F to 180F. Poaching liquid can have a wide range of ingredients from just water to wine and aromatics. For perfect poached meat, the meat should be fully submerged in the poaching liquid and the temperature should be low. You can add herbs such as thyme and rosemary to the poaching liquid to create wonderful aromas. You can also add some tarragon and mustard to the sauce to give it a French flavor."
