Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    No change.

  • Substitution

    Use beef broth instead of the wine if you prefer.

  • Time Saver

    To save time, use beef stew meat instead of cutting the beef roast into pieces.

  • Success

    If you can't find the julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes, cut your whole ones with a kitchen scissors.
