for the garlic wine marinade
- 8 tbsp white wine

Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Cut the meat into 24 x 25 mm (1 in) cubes. Add meat to the marinade and leave to marinate for at least 4 hours - overnight is best. If marinating for a longer period, refrigerate, then bring the meat back to room temperature before cooking.
