Steak and what???

[differentkindofpenguin]

Have some friends coming for tea tonight, so decided on steak- that part of it is easy.

BUT I'm bored with the obligatory chips and broccoli that we tend to have, need some more creative ideas!

Sweet potato wedges is pretty much the only idea I have!

Thanks in advance!

We are obsessed with steak sandwiches at the moment. Lots of different toppings (avo, beetroot, salady bits) with nice crusty bread and sweet potato wedges.

That's a really nice idea thanks!!!

Caesar salad. That's what we are having with steak tonight.

Potatoes dauphinoise and salad?

this is for venison, but if you substitute steak it is really lovely with some crusty bread

I have it with mash (normal and sweet potato mix), onions, mushrooms, grilled tomato, and sugar snaps or peas.

Damn now I want steak. Having meatballs instead.

Oven baked mashed potatoes with parmesan and breadcrumb crust
Cauliflower steak

Jacket potato, corn on the cob, peas, mushrooms. Sour cream.

(just thinking about it is giving me the meat sweats and a plan for tomorrow's dinner)

Hasselback potatoes. I'm on my phone so can't post a link but the nigella website has a nice method using baby potatoes. The prep is a bit of a faff but you can do that before your friends arrive then just stick them in the oven.

For veg, I like roasted baby tomatoes, asparagus and portabello mushrooms with steak or thick courgette slices done on the griddle pan.

I think chips are essential, everything else with steak is second rate.

Home made coleslaw?
Cook it like beef stroganoff and serve with steamed Savoy cabbage or kale.

Now I fancy steak and chips and we have only got cauli cheese tonight .

Those battered potato slices and Diane sauce.

I need this in my life now!

blowjob? oh, sorry wrong thread...

really thick cut home made chips, big chunky onion rings and roast tomatoes.

I like onions with honey with steak

Homemade chips, and bearnaise sauce. Otherwise green beans.

Peggy funnily enough DH brought this up already. We decided friends might not be very impressed with our idea of entertaining!

Had it with new potatoes and sweet potato wedges, homemade coleslaw, beetroot salad and salsa, and some tiger baguette :) went down very well

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
