Wine with food steak
Which wine goes with steak?
Seared red meat calls for a structured red. Tannin binds to the protein and fat, so the wine tastes softer and the meat juicier. The fattier the cut — rib-eye, côte de boeuf — the more body and tannin the wine can take. A lean steak or bavette is happy with a rounder, fruit-led red.
