Alcohol with your Meat?

[bgan10]

Does anyone in here use much alcohol when cooking meats. If so how do you use it?

Just a little usually red wine in long cooking soups, stews or braised items. How about you? any thing interseting to share? :) like Tequila in scrambled eggs??

haha I usually just use a little beer in marinating meats. From what I hear, it may be false, but it is suppose to tenderize the meat a bit more. Anyone have any info on that at all?

Only a bit of wine in my casserole's etc, but i try to keep it as seperate as possible. A nice wine to go with the meal- now that's completely different!

I like to use a little wine in my sauces, white sauce white wine. and so on. but I like to use dry wines, such as Cabernet, Merlot, and Pinot Noir for the reds, and usually a chardonnay for my white sauces. Sometimes I like to use a tablespoon of white wine, in my Turkey gravy.
