Wine Note: As far as wine is concerned, flank steak is a pretty easygoing partner--many red wines would work well--but the chermoula is a different story. Garlic, lime, paprika, cumin, cilantro, and coriander are all dominant seasonings that make this dish sizzle. But they can also make wine fizzle. Best bet: a soft, thick, fruit-driven red that will act to "cushion" all the spice. Try Geyser Peak's 2001 Shiraz from Sonoma County, California ($18). -Karen MacNeil

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Steak on the menu? Try pairing 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 Raymond R Collection Merlot. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 12 dollars.

The Merlot fills the mouth with smooth cherry, raspberry and plum flavors along with hints of earth and spice in the toasty vanilla finish. Full-bodied, yet approachable, with a good balance of acid and tannins. Pair with anything from grilled salmon, pork tenderloin, barbequed chicken and ribs to Thai red curry or Moroccan tagine.
