Cabernet Food Pairings
Cabernet is a big, bold wine with red and black fruit flavors.
There are a huge number of cabernets available, and they usually have an approachable, balanced flavor. Cabernets have a high acidity that cuts through fatty, hearty dishes like a ribeye steak, lamb chops, or even a burger.
Here’s more of our favorite dishes to pair with cabernet…
A Juicy Steak
I’m all about a great steak dinner – sous vide filet mignon, ribeye steak or even these steak bites, they all pair amazingly well with Cabernet. Want to get a little fancy? Be sure to try out this Steak Diane.
Beef Short Ribs and Other Braised Beef Recipes
Think hearty, braised red meat dishes like these Red Wine Braised Short Ribs or this Pot Roast. For an appetizer option, give these Short Rib Crostini with Cambozola Cheese and Cherry Jam a try.
Roast or Grilled Lamb
Lamb is a perfect pairing with a glass of big, bold Cabernet. Try this recipe for Rack of Lamb with Herb Crust, Sous Vide Rack of Lamb or Lamb Chops with Mint Mustard Sauce.
A Good Burger
Oh man, nothing beats an amazing burger paired with a California Cabernet Sauvignon. Try one of these favorites: Lamb Burgers with Goat Cheese & Caramelized Onions, French Dip Burgers, Red Wine Burgers.
