Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon are great choices for Flat Iron 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. The Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 80 dollars per bottle.

Billecart-Salmon Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru

The fine mousse of delicate bubbles elegantly accompanies the glints of its gold color. A cuvée that will surprise you with its pure intensity of dry fruits aromas, almonds and fresh hazelnuts mixed with those of fruits of white flesh. The creamy sensation of the bubble associated to aromas of buttered brioche and mineral aromas. Persistent finish with a fresh and elegant sweetness.This great bottle will make a perfect marriage with caviar or fine oysters but also with grilled fish and seafood.
