Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Steak works really well with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. One wine you could try is Rabble Merlot. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Rabble Merlot

Sporting black cherry, dark berry, malt chocolate with nuanced French Oak notes of vanilla and mocha. Elegant and refined on the palate with plenty of dark fruit leading into a silky, soft finish.
