Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the beef in Burgundy wine overnight. If you need a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend. You can also add mushrooms for an earthy depth or carrots for sweetness. If you don't have Burgundy wine, any dry red wine will work as a substitute.
