What's goes with steak?

We always have mushrooms and chips.
But I'd like to do something fancy because life sucks.

What's a couple of good sides?

Sliced mushrooms cooked in butter and garlic, add a load of spinach, then cream cheese. Lots of.

I'm having celeriac chips and garlic mushrooms with mine tonight but my favourite is blue cheese on top.

We had steak with truffle mash, mushrooms, backed carrots and port gravy this week. It was luxurious, warming comfort food.☺

I always have it with chestnut mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, chips and loads of English mustard. If it's a good quality steak you don't want to drown in in sauce

@SmidgenofaPigeon

Roquefort cheese tastes AMAZING on top of a rare steak.
Yes! And you can make a sauce using creme fraiche and garlic!

I absolutely love leeks in stilton sauce with steak.

BillyAndTheSillies · 06/02/2021 13:37

Either with skinny fries and chimichurri or rest it really well and have it with rocket, shaved Parmesan and nice tomatoes with a balsamic glaze.

StuntNun · 06/02/2021 13:38

How about a jacket potato with sour cream and chives?

It's not fancy but we have mac n cheese and a rocket salad

lovablequalities · 06/02/2021 13:54

If you don't have chips I think you get to have another steak. No?

Davros · 06/02/2021 13:55

Bearnaise sauce. I don't care what the rest is!
You can't have asparagus now, it's not the season (clutches pearls)

frostymornings · 06/02/2021 13:55

King prawns in garlic and white wine
Mmmmmm surf and turf

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 06/02/2021 14:06

Sharply-dressed green salad, crusty bread and Béarnaise sauce (or a slice of Roquefort to melt on top if you can't be arsed with the Béarnaise 😂)

joystir59 · 06/02/2021 14:08

Green salad. Green peppercorn sauce or blue cheese sauce.

SpencerGregson · 06/02/2021 14:10

Roasted cherry tomatoes.
Rocket & watercress salad with blue cheese and walnuts.

Caramelised red onions

iklboo · 06/02/2021 14:14

We love 'scoopies'

Bake a potato, scoop out & mash the flesh with lots of butter, cheese, sliced spring onion & bacon. Pile back in the shells & grill until the cheese is melted and the top slightly crispy.
