How to Store Leftovers

Food and Drink Pairings
This Grilled Steak with Loaded Baked Potato pairs perfectly with a nice glass of red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. If you’re looking for something non-alcoholic, a tall glass of iced tea or lemonade would also complement this meal nicely.
