We're Talking Steak!

Steak and red wine is a classic pairing for good reason, but it's far from the only option. A great steak has plenty of richness and flavour, which means it can stand up to bold reds, characterful beers and even the occasional full-bodied white, depending on how it's cooked and what's served alongside.

The cut, cooking method and sauce all make a difference. A rare ribeye calls for something different from a peppercorn-smothered sirloin, while a chargrilled flat iron can be brilliant with a hoppy IPA or a rich dark lager. The aim is to complement the savoury, caramelised flavours without overwhelming the meat itself.
