When you’ve got a great cut of grassfed beef, you don’t need much to make it shine. A little seasoning, the right cooking method, and if you’re feeling fancy a good glass of wine. At TX Grassfed Beef Cattle Company, we’re all about keeping things simple, local, and delicious. So here’s our easy guide to pairing wine with your favorite cuts of beef.
Why Grassfed Beef Hits Different
Grassfed beef has a natural, rich flavor that comes from the way our cattle are raised, slow-grown and pasture-raised the way nature intended. It’s leaner, more nutritious, and packed with taste. That earthy depth makes it the perfect match for the right bottle of wine.
Best Wine Pairings by Cut
Let’s break it down by cut so you can nail your next dinner:
Ribeye
Rich and flavorful, ribeye pairs beautifully with a bold red. Think Cabernet Sauvignon or a Malbec something with structure to stand up to the marbling and depth of the cut.
Sirloin or Strip Steak
Leaner but still packed with flavor, these cuts shine with a Zinfandel or Syrah. These wines have a bit of spice and fruitiness, which plays nicely with the beef’s natural flavor.
Filet Mignon
This tender cut deserves something elegant. A Pinot Noir is perfect, lighter in body but full of complexity. It won’t overpower the subtle taste of the meat.
Brisket
If you’re slow cooking or smoking brisket, bring out a Tempranillo or a Grenache. These medium-bodied reds hold their own with smoked flavors and keep things smooth.
Burgers & Beef Mince Dishes
Keep it casual but tasty with a Merlot or Barbera. These wines are fruit-forward and approachable, just like a good homemade burger.
Keep It Simple, Keep It Local
You don’t need a fancy sommelier to enjoy beef and wine. Our advice? Support your local wineries just like you support local ranchers.
Final Tip: Let It Rest
Don’t forget to rest both your steak and your wine! Give your beef a few minutes after cooking, and let your wine breathe before sipping. That little bit of patience makes a world of difference.
