Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Wine Advice:
For this hearty and savory dish, consider a medium-bodied red wine such as Merlot or Malbec to complement the richness of the beef and mushrooms. If you prefer a white wine, opt for a crisp Chardonnay. For non-alcoholic options, a sparkling water with a splash of lemon or lime would be refreshing.Nutritional Information
