I'll see if I can remember the recipe I used. It was tasty, but for some reason the meat wasn't as tender as I would've liked, despite 8ish hours in the pot on high heat. Not sure if I used too much wine or too little tbh.

What is "tbh" ??
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Oh, okay....so the correct answer to your question is "Needs more wine", if the meat is still tough.

Or more time. Think I used 475 ml of wine for about 1 kg of meat.

That's a good amount of wine (Goes to google to figure out how much meat that is... Ah, 2.2. pounds)

It's definitely not a lack of wine. I generally go about 1/2 cup/pound when I'm slow cooking meat, which is about half of what you posted. I'd say cook longer, yes.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Wine and other acids do not tenderize meat.

If anything, the acids in wine cause meat to become firmer due to coagulation of the proteins. Think cheese making.

Late to the topic, but now that it has finally friggin' cooled down here enough so that I can turn the dang oven on, I'm baking bread again. I've just been buying it at Costco most of the Summer.

I also just put my big Fall order in at germandeli.com for kraut baking and cooking stuff, wurst, spaetzle with jagersosse, knodel, and lebkuchen for Christmas (because they always run out of the good ones by Thanksgiving). I'll also start making rouladen again.

Also I don't seem to make biscuits and gravy much in the Summer, but will now start up with that again.

Now that October is actually acting like October I'm going to make a go of sauerkraut sometime in the next couple of weeks.

That's on my list as well. In fact I guess I'd better start this week if I want some for Thanksgiving.
