Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Steak. 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. You could try Tinga Rio Reserve Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.

Tinga Rio Reserve Merlot

Ruby red in color with notes of raspberries and strawberries on the nose. Sweet spices came through on the palate from the French and American oak and the palate finishes with soft round tannins. Certified Sustainable and Certified Vegan.
