Drink pairing tips for Cheesesteak

Syrah and ribeye

When considering what goes best with ribeye, we recommend a glass of Syrah, it truly complements the dish as it provides a counterpoint to the richness of the marbled meat.
Old Fashioned and porterhouse

If your food palns include Steak, then you should consider helping it along with some cocktail. We find that a Old Fashioned, with its hits of spice tones, serves as the best pairing to the dish.
The perfect match for filet mignon with pepper sauce
Experts often pair filet mignon with pepper sauce with a glass of Chardonnay, a popular white wine.

Factoids about Cheesesteak

23 pounds of delicious
Molly Schuyler knows that you can never have too much of a good thing. They proved this by eating 23 pounds of prime rib, setting a world record in the process!
The priciest dish
If you have recently won the lottery, or you just happen to have $300 lying around, why not spend it on indulging in the world’s most glamorous, and most expensive, olive wagu beef?
The go-to pairing
One should always compliment their food with a drink that doesn't take away from the meal. If it’s steak you’re eating, we recommend pairing it with a tea. The tannin-rich flavors of the tea won’t detract from the flavors of your steak.
