*Bavette is often categorized as "flap meat" or "butcher steak," along with a few other cuts taken from the area between the sirloin and the flank. Specifically, it is the bottom part of the sirloin. If your butcher isn't familiar with the term "bavette," ask for sirloin flap meat.

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. The Raymond R Collection Merlot with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
