Sirloin Steak with Romesco Sauce

tailgate time

The protein is the star of this meal, but the steak won’t shine without this tomato-based sauce. Romesco is a nutty, perfectly rich companion to a big, juicy steak. Making it will have you feeling like you’re dining out at home and you won’t want to have steak again without it. This sauce also goes great with fish or chicken! The garlic and lemon artichoke hearts come together quickly for a no brainer side dish. Pair this hearty meal with a glass of Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon.
