Wine Recommendation: The rare steak and intense tomato dressing point to an equally rich red wine, with plenty of ripe fruit. Choose a juicy, supple Syrah from Washington State, one without too much tannin or smoky oak, such as the bargain 2000 Snoqualmie or the 1999 Hogue.

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 Maddalena Merlot. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.
