Pour the oil into a large cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, add the skirt steak. Cook until medium rare, three to four minutes a side, depending on how thick the steak is. (130°F. is the ideal, so if the exterior is nicely caramelized, but the inside registers below that on a meat thermometer, just reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until it is right.) When done, set the steak aside for at least five minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Steak. 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 Raymond R Collection Merlot with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

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.
