Braised Beef Tortelloni
Ok, so today Scott and I went to Olive Garden. I wanted to try something a little less safe, so I got the Braised Beef Tortelloni. It was sooooooooooooooooo good! It did make me ask the question, what does braised mean? This is what I came up with per one of my favorite sites, Wilkepedia. Braising is a combination cooking method using both moist and dry heat; typically the food is first seared at a high temperature and then finished in a covered pot with a variable amount of liquid, resulting in a particular flavor. Braising of meat is often referred to as pot roasting, though some authors make a distinction between the two methods based on whether additional liquid is added.
All I know is that the beef was so tender, and really made this dish oh so yummy! It is a must-try the next time you go to Olive Garden.
That does sound good. I'm glad you were able to step outside the box and try somethng different. I do it all the time. It's great!
