The article from MSN discusses the importance of using quality ingredients when making a wine sauce for steak. It emphasizes that while it might be tempting to use a cheap bottle of wine for cooking, the quality of the wine significantly impacts the flavor of the sauce. The piece advises against using "cooking wine" due to its high salt content and poor quality, suggesting instead to use a wine that you would enjoy drinking. It explains that a good wine enhances the meat's flavors, adding depth and richness to the sauce. The article also provides tips on selecting the right type of wine, noting that the choice should complement the steak, with reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot being popular choices for their robust flavors that pair well with beef.
