Analyzing cooking steps...
Patting the beef dry is crucial for getting a proper sear and crust.
Skimming the 'scum' from the boiling marinade creates a cleaner, clearer final sauce.
Using a beurre manié (kneaded butter and flour) at the end provides a richer, glossier finish than a standard flour slurry.
The dish is best served with creamy mashed potatoes, buttered pasta, or crusty French bread.
