Instructions
Bring pomegranate juice, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan over moderately high heat, then boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together sumac, pepper, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt.
Cut steak into pieces to fit in a large shallow baking pan and pat dry.
Transfer steak to baking pan and sprinkle evenly with sumac mixture, then let stand about 10 minutes.
Broil steaks 3 to 4 inches from heat, turning over once, 2 to 3 minutes total for thinner pieces, 3 to 4 minutes for thicker pieces for medium-rare.
Transfer steaks with any pan juices to a large plate and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 10 minutes.
While steak stands, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook shallot, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add Port and simmer until reduced to a glaze, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add meat juices accumulated on plate and bring to a simmer.
Whisk in pomegranate reduction and lemon juice.
Remove from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until incorporated.
Holding knife at a 45-degree angle, thinly slice steak diagonally and serve with sauce.
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. You could try Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.

Robert Mondavi Napa Merlot
The wine's multi-dimensional flavors come from grapes grown in distinctly different terroirs of Napa Valley, including the Carneros, Stags Leap and Oakville districts. Traditional techniques, including native yeasts, extended maceration, aging in French oak barrels and bottling without filtration, enhanced the wine's complexity. This wine is delicious with many entrees and cheeses. One of our favorite food pairings is roast turkey with a wild mushroom and walnut stuffing. Roast leg of lamb, rubbed with fragrant herbs and spices, or grilled pork loin also marry perfectly with the wine's luscious flavors.
