For a richer flavor, use a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. Adjust the amount of chili paste to your preference. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more for extra heat. Marinating the beef overnight will result in even more tender and flavorful steaks. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or alongside roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
