Red wine marinade for beef is a classic preparation with roots in European cuisine, especially in countries like France and Spain, where red wine is a traditional ingredient used to enhance the flavor of meats. In Latin America, this technique has been adapted and is used in different variations, although the basic concept remains: to tenderize and flavor the meat before cooking it. In Mexico and various Central American countries, the marinade may also include native herbs and citrus fruits, while in Argentina, famous for its beef, marinating with red wine is a common way to prepare grilled meats with a special touch. In other Latin American countries, such as Colombia and Chile, this type of marinade is also popular and is simply known as "wine marinade" or "meat marinade." This recipe is appreciated for its ability to intensify the flavor of the meat, providing unique juiciness and aroma.
