Description
A juicy Steek requires an elegant wine that can stand up to the bold flavor of the meat. A red wine is needed, but not so big that it overwhelms the meat.
The wine should have both tannins and a good backbone of acidity.
Perfectly blended Bordaux is an enjoyable wine. It pairs well with many dishes, especially Beef.
A round and soft Cabernet Sauvignon is also a good match for this type of meat.
The Strip Steak is a cut of beef from the Short Loin of a cow. It consists of a muscle that does little work. This makes the meat more tender.
