Reds - Malbec, Zinfandel, Primitivo, Shiraz

With "steaks" - the obvious answer is Cabernet, but experiment with Garnacha, Grenache, or Rioja. An Argentinian Malbec pairs great with the Lomo Saltado.
With our Salmon - Sparkling whites, or a Trebbiano, Vermentino, Chardonnay, and don't forget rose.
With Burgers - A Dolcetto from Piedmont, a Sangiovese (Chianti Classico or Brunello di Montalcino), or - for the Jalapeno Popper Burger - a margarita! Best pick: a Negroamaro from Puglia, with a Barbera as backup.
