Sides That Go Great with Steak

There’s nothing quite like a premium cut of steak that is perfectly cooked. But a good side can take your meal from delicious to extraordinary. Wondering what to order with your steak? From hearty potatoes to earthy vegetables to fresh seafood, these seven sides all pair perfectly with a steak dinner. 

Potato Sides 

Potatoes and steak are a classic combination, so you can never go wrong when you choose potatoes. Since they are relatively mild in flavor, potatoes are the perfect backdrop for a flavorful and juicy steak. 

Mashed Potatoes

Creamy and delicious, mashed potatoes make an amazing addition to a steak dinner, especially when they soak up the juices from your meat. We prefer our mashed potatoes with gravy and a firm cut of steak, like a ribeye. 

French Fries

Crispy fries and a tender cut of steak, like a sirloin, also make an excellent pair. Whether you pick a traditional hand-cut fry or a sweet potato variety, both make great additions to your plate. 

Vegetable Sides 

Many people think veggies make the best sides to serve with steak. Not only are they healthy, each vegetable brings something different to the table when paired with a good cut of meat. 

Mushrooms

Mushrooms make the perfect accompaniment to steaks because of the deep, bold, earthy flavors you get when they’re sautéed. They add a wonderful umami that enhances every bite, which is why we serve all of our steaks with sautéed mushrooms.

Asparagus 

Grilled or creamed, asparagus pairs best with a fatty steak like a New York strip. The fattiness of the steak is cut perfectly by the bitter notes of the asparagus. Not only is it delicious, but asparagus is good for you too! 

Seafood Sides

“Surf and turf” is a popular dinner pairing because of its versatility. Also, why choose between two delicious meals? This pairing is a perfect way to fill your belly after a long day out on the town.

Lobster 

Steak and lobster are both tender and rich, so they naturally pair well. The slightly sweet and briny profile of the lobster perfectly complements the robust flavor of a steak. 

Crab

Just like lobster, crab pairs well with steak because of its slightly sweet flavor. Crab is often favored for its light taste and tender meat, the perfect complement to a filet mignon.
