Beef and White Wine Works Too!

May 12, 2015

Red wine is traditionally paired with red meat and white wine with white meat and fish, right? Yes, generally that’s true. However, in the culinarily and culturally expansive world in which we now live, there are no hard and fast rules. There are many beef dishes that are better suited to a glass of white wine than the traditional red. Here are some great pairings to give a try this month. After all, May is National Beef Month!

Appetizers: 

Main Dishes:

  • The bright citrus flavors and lightness of Thai beef salad is perfectly paired with a glass of semi-dry Vignoles. 
  • Cooking a baron of beef is a true classic, but allowing the dish to shine by pairing it with a simple, yet delicious glass of Vidal Blanc will be a nice change of pace. 
  • Curry beef with aromatic rice is a wonderfully flavorful main course and couldn’t ask for a better match than a glass of Traminette. 
  • Citrus marinated beef and fruit kabobs are a great option for grilling and go decidedly well with a glass of Vignoles. 

The next time you head into the kitchen, try out one of these fun and delicious pairings. 

Missouri wine (even white wine) pairs well with beef!
