What would be a good substitute for the red wine? Unfortunately I'm allergic to wine. I know, tragic isn't it.

Tiffany, you poor thing! :( LOL! I usually include a substitute for those who not drink or like wine, but I "swiped" this recipe!

I would use beef broth in this dish and perhaps add a splash or two of vinegar, just to give it a little punch. Chicken broth would probably work too, but I think the beef would make the sauce richer.

Thanks Chele! These sound delicious and I think I'll make them for dinner tonight. :D
