Pairings & Recipes

Galiano Cabernet Sauvignon, is a bold and robust red wine that pairs well with rich and flavorful dishes. Here's a recipe for a dish that complements the characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon:

Balsamic Glazed Grilled Ribeye Steak

Ingredients:

• 2 bone-in ribeye steaks (about 1.5 inches thick)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Balsamic Glaze:

• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2. Season the Steaks: Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the steaks and rub it in to coat evenly.

3. Prepare the Balsamic Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the glaze has thickened slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

4. Grill the Steaks: Place the seasoned steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness.

5. Apply the Balsamic Glaze: Brush the balsamic glaze over the steaks during the last 2 minutes of grilling on each side. Reserve some glaze for serving.

6. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

7. Serve: Slice the ribeye steaks against the grain and drizzle with the reserved balsamic glaze. Serve with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.

This Balsamic Glazed Grilled Ribeye Steak is a perfect match for Galiano Cabernet Sauvignon. The bold flavors of the steak and the savory-sweet balsamic glaze will complement the rich and robust characteristics of the wine. Enjoy your delicious meal and wine pairing!
