This is exactly what I was gonna recommend. Either that or an Australian Merlot or as someone else mentioned Jacobs Creek. Anything from the last 6 years or so has been nice.
Thing with restaraunts though is that you've gotta depend on what they've got in their cellar so you may want to take the waiter's recommendation. Red is definitely the way to go with steak. I like plummy red wines with steak but like I say, ask your waiter. If its a NICE restaurant, they should be trained in which wine compliments which dish best.
Also, if they don't hit you up for too much cash for the red with the meal, then consider getting a nice light white wine as well with dessert. Rounds off a meal nicely.
Have a good time and enjoy.
