Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon are great choices for Skirt Steak. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Burn Cottage Cashburn Pinot Noir with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Ripe dark cherry, redcurrant and chocolate notes precede savoury notes of wild thyme, briar, and earth. Supple mouthfilling tannins give depth to the palate, while the freshness and red-berry acidity retain lovely length, focus, and balance.
