Notes
Prepare the red wine sauce while the meat is standing. Thicken the sauce with cornstarch or arrowroot, if you wish. About 1 level tablespoon cornstarch mixed with cold water or stock will result in a light sauce, 2 tablespoons will make a thick sauce. If thickened, serve the sauce on the side.
