This is one of those classic Italian dishes that is insanely delicious! There is one unusual ingredient, Juniper berries. They can be found in spice shops or specialty markets, they add that very distinctive flavor to Gin! My granny used them in many of her beef recipes, she was from Northern Italy, Bologna. But if you can't find them, don't worry, the wine and the porcinis and the other ingredients make this a spectacular dish without them! The meat marinates 24 hours in Chianti, veggies and of course garlic and and that makes it melt in your mouth tender and full of flavor and then it's topped with Porcini sauce! This recipe is a great weekend project!
