Critical Success Points

  • Brown the meat without over‑moistening it
  • Reduce the red wine completely to avoid acidity
  • Achieve a smooth béchamel without lumps
  • Use raw lasagna sheets and do not pre‑cook them
  • Final bake until a well‑gratinated crust forms

Safety Warnings

  • Watch out for hot oil splatters when sautéing the meat.
  • Handle the hot oven – use kitchen gloves.
  • Boiling milk can cause burns – stir the béchamel constantly.
