A little trick

Slicing the braised beef when it’s a bit cold allows you to prepare it in advance. In this case, store it in plastic wrap with the sauce separately in a container. When ready to serve, simply reheat the sauce with the slices of meat as explained in the last step.

Variations on the theme

Some people add a cinnamon stick to the braised beef with Barolo towards the end of cooking. I don’t use it, but you can add it to your liking.
