Beef in Claret image

Historically, there has been a long "French Connection" between Scotland and France. As a result, there has always been a fair amount of gastronomic interplay between the two countries. In particular, French wine, especially claret, was imported and used in cooking as well as being consumed in large quantities. Here is a recipe combining home produced beef with French claret.
