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 Peju Province Merlot. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 38 dollars.

Peju Province Merlot
Deep ruby in color, the 2016 Merlot offers fragrant, layered aromas of juicy pomegranate, baking spice, and a hint of cedar. Lush fruits of cherry and blackberry envelop the palate. Soft hints of toasted almond and vanilla culminate with an elegant finish. Delicious now, this Merlot will continue to mature for the next 6-8 years.Blend: 95% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Sirah
