Pepper steak sandwich

Leonard Redé
Wine Pairings:  

Here we go. Looking for a game-day stunner? Inspired by the pepper steaks served at the World-Famous Gilroy Garlic Festival. The secret (not Secret) is the garlic butter. Pepper steak is exactly what it says: steak, in this case, ribeye, and peppers along with their best friend onion, all seared together and served on a garlic butter-slathered toasted roll. Unassuming, yet unforgettable. 

A flavor juggernaut of meaty, buttery, and garlicky elements, this sandwich can take a lot, even a Cabernet Sauvignon, but softened with other Bordeaux varietals. As one well-known chef might say, you can park this flavor train at the Cote Bonneville 2018 Train Station, a bold red blend loaded with black fruit flavors, robust tannin, and medium-plus acid. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, it’s almost as if winemaker Kerry Shiels was thinking of this recipe when she crafted this beauty of a wine.

  • 1 each red, yellow and green pepper, seeded and julienned
  • 1 medium sized onion, chopped
