51 Delectable Side Dishes to Serve with Steak

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

In this essay, I present 51 of the most popular steak side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

Fondant potatoes, caramelized onions and mushrooms, blue cheese salad, onion rings, or truffle mac & cheese are the greatest side dishes to offer with steak. Try creamy garlic shrimp as a surf-and-turf dish. Try zucchini fries or whipped parsnips as healthier alternatives to carb-loaded sides.

Ready? Lets jump right in.

Fondant potatoes

As much as I like mashed potatoes, fondant potatoes are my go-to side for a nicely cooked steak.

These potato cylinders have deliciously golden crusts and fluffy insides, and they’re bursting with buttery tastes.

Use russet or Idaho potatoes for the greatest results.

Why we adore this recipe: they’re ideal for a formal supper.

Caramelized onions and mushrooms

This combination of caramelized onions and mushrooms is a winner.

They’re delicate, somewhat sweet, and bursting with umami tastes.

A drop of red wine vinegar enhances the flavors, while chopped parsley gives a fresh note.

Why we like this recipe: it transforms simple items into a restaurant-quality feast.

Creamy garlic shrimp

With a side of this delectable shrimp, you can turn your steak into a protein-packed surf-and-turf feast.

It’s made with succulent shrimp in a delicious white wine-laced parmesan sauce.

What’s more, the finest part? It just takes ten minutes to prepare!

Fresh shrimp are preferred for this recipe, although frozen shrimp may be used in a pinch.

Why we like it: it has a 4.9 rating from over 40 reviews!

Truffle mac and cheese

With this recipe, you can give your standard mac & cheese a delightful twist.

The addition of white truffle oil lends an earthy taste that complements the somewhat nutty gruyere cheese well.

But I must tell you that when you complete your dinner, you will most likely need to snooze.

Why we like this recipe: it’s a one-pot dinner, which means less cleaning up for you (which means more time for sleeping!).

Blue cheese and green bean salad

Tired of leafy green salads?

Use green beans as your base instead.

Blanching the beans gives them a vivid green hue while keeping them crunchy.

And coating them in blue cheese and Dijon mustard keeps them from becoming boring.

Dont skip the walnuts either!

Why we like this recipe: it’s insanely simple to prepare.

Buttermilk onion rings

Serve your steak with a (large) portion of onion rings for a special treat.

However, frozen store-bought onion rings will not do steak justice.

The only way to go is homemade. The trick to super crispy onion rings is to coat them twice.

Psst dont forget your favorite dipping sauce.

Why we like this recipe: it’s a no-frills take on a classic side dish.

Garlic butter rolls 

Let’s go back to basics and make a batch of these dinner rolls.

They’re produced using a simple enriched dough that results in the softest, fluffiest rolls you’ve ever had.

And the garlic butter must be applied as soon as they come out of the oven so that it may soak into the bread.

Why we love this recipe: it’s ideal for baking beginners.

Instant pot lemon risotto

Love risotto but don’t want to stir it for more than 30 minutes?

Make use of an instant pot. All you have to do is prepare the ingredients and set them to cook.

After 5 minutes (yes, 5 minutes! ), you’ll have a flawlessly cooked, buttery risotto with a lemony touch to complement a rich or fatty steak.

Why we like this recipe: it’s a quick and easy way to enjoy an Italian classic.

Lemon and feta grilled asparagus

This asparagus recipe goes well with grilled steak.

Grilling the spears gives them a crisp-tender texture and a charred, smokey taste that complements the lemon and feta vinaigrette.

This spring side dish is bright and acidic, exactly what you need to lighten up your steak dinner.

Why we like this recipe: by grilling the asparagus with the steak, you can kill two birds with one stone.

Whipped parsnips with fresh herbs

You can’t go wrong with whipped parsnips; you’ll get a wonderful velvety mash full of fresh, herby tastes, ideal for soaking up the juices and sauce from your steak.

And the best part?

It contains less calories than regular mashed potatoes.

Why we like it: it’s paleo-friendly and can be made dairy-free by using almond milk.

Grilled bacon-wrapped corn

Grilled corn is a staple side for steak cookouts.

But, before grilling, have you tried wrapping the corn in bacon and coating it with a honey chipotle glaze?

I didnt think so!

Your guests will be lined up for seconds of this delectable side dish.

Why we like this recipe: it’s a unique and tasty way to consume corn.

Garlic parmesan spaghetti squash

Creamed spinach, a steakhouse standard, is combined with roasted and shredded spaghetti squash in this dish.

The resulting dish?

Delectable creamy, cheesy noodle-like strands with delicate spinach!

The addition of cream cheese makes this meal even more decadent.

Why we enjoy this recipe: it tastes like creamy spaghetti without the added carbohydrates.

Baked zucchini fries

Replace the potato fries in the typical steak frites with these zucchini fries.

They’re ideal for times you want to feel like you’re indulging without the added carbohydrates.

If you don’t like zucchini, you may substitute asparagus, carrots, green beans, eggplant, or even beets for the vegetable fries.

Why we adore this recipe: they are baked rather than fried!

Peppercorn sauce

This is a no-brainer, but I’m always shocked how frequently people forget about the sauce, so I thought I’d remind you.

Peppercorn sauce is my absolute favorite sauce to use with steak. It pairs well with the steak and is ideal for dipping fries or spooning over mashed potatoes.

Don’t leave out the heavy cream for this sauce; it’s an essential!

Why we like this recipe: it is simple to prepare with cupboard goods.

Orzo stuffed tomatoes

These orzo stuffed tomatoes are ideal for a group supper since they serve as the sole accompaniment.

The veggies are the tomatoes, and the carbohydrates are provided by the orzo filling on the interior.

If you don’t want to eat them as a side, they can work great as a beginning.

Give them a try!

Why we like this recipe: the leftovers are delicious cold the following day for lunch.

Autumn crunch salad

If you want to let the steak speak for itself, a light side salad is your best bet.

And salads arent just for summer!

With vegetables like radicchio, fennel, and radish, this one has a more wintery vibe.

It also has a fantastic tart champagne vinaigrette that enhances the whole meal.

Why we love this recipe: it gives a vibrant splash of color and flavor to your main course.

Miso-ginger eggplant

Try some Japanese fusion with miso eggplant.

It’s opulent and full of umami tastes that are curiously addictive. I also like to add ginger since it offers a pleasant tang and stops everything from being overly sweet.

Why we love this recipe: it will make any dish seem Instagram-worthy.
