Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir
Steak can be paired 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. The Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Beautiful red raspberry, black cherry, and spice aromas. Full and round with plum, red currant, blackberry, and bay leaf flavors. The soft tannins give this wine a velvety smoothness and the chocolatey finish just goes on and on.
