Instructions

1
Prepare the steak: Set the steaks on a cutting board and slice them in half crosswise. Using your knife, round out the clean-cut edges so the sides look softer. Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry, then season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside 15 to 30 minutes to bring to room temperature.

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. You could try Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 50 dollars per bottle.
Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot
Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot
A sumptuous nose of bright plum, cherry, rose petal, mulberry and walnut introduces an enticing wine that sets the taste buds firing. The palate is layered and lush, expressing undulating waves of red fruit woven together by a rich mid-palate and vibrant acidity. 7% Cabernet Sauvignon from the volcanic Rim Rock block and the rocky Quartz Hill block were blended in to add depth and structure to the wine. While we often describe this Merlot as a "Cab lover's Merlot," the 2011 demonstrates what makes Merlot so lovely and special as a varietal wine – concentration, smooth but full texture, finesse and that elusive X factor that has "lusciousness."Blend: 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon.
