Divide nachos between 2 plates; top each serving with about 2 1/2 tablespoons salsa.Beer note: The dark, roasty flavors of porters make these beers ideal with the meaty flavors of the nachos. Anchor Porter ($8/six-pack) from San Francisco has a robust coffee and chocolate flavor that complements these nachos almost like mole sauce. Jeffery Lindenmuth

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. The La Jota Howell Mountain Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 99 dollars per bottle.
