Does Red Wine Tenderize Meat?
Yes, red wine actually does help tenderize the meat. If you leave the steak in the marinade for about 2 hours you are left with a tender steak. Keep in mind, if you leave the steak in to long it could cause your meat to be tough.

- Cook longer depending on how well you want the steak done.
- Remove steak from skillet and allow to rest as it will continue cooking.
How to Know when Steak is done:
The best way to test for doneness is by inserting an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. Do this through the side, not the top of the steak.
Steak Doneness internal temperatures:
- Rare – 120F, cool to warm red center
- Medium Rare – 130F, Warm red center
- Medium – 140F, Hot pink center
- Well, Medium – 150F, Mostly brown center
