65 Best Sides to Serve with Steak
Steak isn’t an everyday dinner, so when you take the time to cook it, it truly feels like an occasion. It’s often made to celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries, but it also has a way of making a random Wednesday night feel festive. It’s hard to beat a perfectly grilled steak when it’s warm outside. But even if we aren’t luckily enough to have a grill or it’s simply too cold for such an activity, we’re never disappointed with steak seared on the stovetop or a steak broiled in the oven.
While the beef might be the main attraction at the dinner table, you need more than just steak on your plate. With that in mind, we have plenty of ideas for delicious sides for steak. Whether it’s a simple potato side dish like a sheet pan full of garlic butter smashed potatoes or a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes, veggies like roasted broccoli or creamed spinach, or even just a simple arugula salad with a tangy lemon vinaigrette, here are 65 best sides for steak.
