11 Delicious Sides to Serve with Steak Florentine

You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your steak florentine.

In this essay, I’ll discuss 11 of the most popular steak florentine side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

A Tuscan white bean salad, sautéed peas and pancetta, creamed spinach, and fried potato wedges are the perfect sides with steak florentine. Lemon risotto, creamy polenta with mushroom sauce, and onion rings are among alternatives. A gremolata sauce will provide zing.

Ready? lets jump right in.

Creamed spinach

Creamed spinach is a classic steakhouse side dish

The mild, buttery, creamy spinach pairs wonderfully with the delicate meat.

And this meal is really simple to make, taking just 20 minutes from prep to cook time.

This delicious creamed spinach is sure to become a family supper classic.

Grilled potato wedges

Why are potato wedges another famous steakhouse side?

They’re crisp, fluffy, full, flavorful, and won’t overpower your steak florentine.

And if you believe classics are dull, prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

You must try this recipe for grilled potato wedges.

The wedges are grilled to provide a smokey taste, and they’re coated with a spice mixture that includes sweet paprika, garlic, and oregano.

Tuscan white bean salad with arugula 

Tuscan bean soup is a traditional Italian meal that inspired this salad.

The creamy texture of the white, soft beans contrasts nicely with the tangy vinegar and capers in the sauce (no heavy mayo-based dressing here!).

The fresh vegetables also add some crunch.

Combine this one-of-a-kind Tuscan white bean salad with your steak florentine for a substantial yet refreshing supper.

Creamy polenta with mushrooms

In Italy, polenta is often served family-style, which means that a large pot of it is placed on the table and everyone may assist themselves.

So its perfect if youre also sharing a steak.

There are several methods to prepare polenta, but this polenta with red wine mushrooms dish is my go-to for steak florentine.

Don’t forget to top the meal with chopped parsley and lemon for more zest and color.

Green beans in tomato sauce

Green beans in tomato sauce are another popular Italian side dish.

It’s easy to make and takes just 10 minutes to prepare.

And the combination of red and green on the plate makes it appear stunning.

(Did you just declare in your brain, red and green should never be seen? I certainly did!)

This rustic dish for green beans in tomato sauce will complement your steak meal with a sweet-but-tart taste.

Cacio e pepe pasta 

One of my all-time favorite recipes is cacio e pepe.

It’s quite easy, with just four major components. Pasta, black pepper, and cheese.

It tastes great when cooked properly. And with some beef florentine on top, you have a beautiful combo that I wouldn’t be shocked to see on a restaurant menu.

Id describe it as fancy comfort food!

The nutty spicy cacio e pepe will stand up to the meat without overpowering it.

Gremolata 

Purists like salt and pepper on their Florentine steak, and others want a decent sauce, but I prefer the garlicky, peppery gremolata poured over mine.

It’s bright, zesty, and alive. When I taste it, I can’t help but think of summer.

And it just has four ingredients (yep, another recipe with four ingredients!). You could even have them all on hand.

Onion rings

Looking for a more rustic side?

Why not try onion rings?

They’re not fancy, but they’re addictively crunchy and have a pleasant sweetness to them.

If you have an air fryer, try these Diet Hood air-fried onion rings.

They’re considerably simpler to make than typical onion rings and require a lot less oil, so they’re healthier for you!

Sauteed peas with prosciutto 

The secret to making an excellent steak florentine side dish is to pick something that can stand up to the assertive cut of meat.

Enter: peas and prosciutto.

You’ll be able to serve this dinner in less than 15 minutes.

Sweet peas combined with smoky bacon provide a pleasant taste that pairs nicely with the savory steak.

It also goes well with a glass of nice red wine.

Lemon and Herb Risotto

An equally stunning side dish is required for such an amazing Florentine steak.

And this classic Italian risotto is just that.

The inclusion of lemon just brightens the meal and provides acidity to complement the richness of the meat.

It’s flavorful, but not so much that it overpowers the steak (is that even possible?!).

Psst, when I made this, I topped it with roasted cherry tomatoes. It was wonderful.

Shredded brussel sprout and kale salad

Sprout and kale are two of the world’s most despised veggies.

But don’t let it deter you from trying this wintery shredded salad.

The bitter tones of the veggies will delightfully complement the meaty, savory tastes of the steak.

It’s also high in nutrients (everyone should eat more greens!).
