To me, steak is one of the ultimate special-occasion foods. We don't eat it very often, but when we do it's usually when Valentine's Day or my husband's birthday rolls around. That's when I pull out all the stops: a nice piece of meat, extra-buttery potatoes, and, of course, good wine.
When you think of steak, you probably think of red wine. It's the most classic pairing for the meat, and for good reason — it's bold enough to hold up to every rich bite. What kind of red wine, though? Most will say Cabernet Sauvignon from California because it's full-bodied and as rich as the steak itself. It's a great match, yes, but really good Cabs can be pretty expensive and I am not always up for spending a lot even if it's a special occasion. Luckily, there's another red I like even more with steak that's easy to find and under $20 a bottle. Here's my top pick.
