Posh sides for steak!!

[Jemimafuckinpuddleduck]

What does everyone have with their steak on a Saturday night, DH LOVES steak and probably gets/convinces me to have it twice a month but I just get really bored of the same sides...

We tend to go for a substantial salad with mozzarella, avocado and pine nuts etc or typical chips, steak sauce...etc

We did have a roasted shallot purée and HM onion rings a few weeks ago which was delicious but fancy something different...

Potato gratin
Asparagus roasted in Parmesan and garlic
Potato rösti
And dh always wants fried eggs whatever sides or sauces!

I love crunchy green stuff with mine - long stemmed broccoli, sugarsnap peas, green beans, anything long and easily undercooked so it cracks if i snap it. plus chips and lazhing of peppercorn sauce

Sweet potato chips?
Roast little carrots with thyme done in olive oil? Roast vine tomatoes.

Those big wanky chips that always come stacked like jenga?

Ooo love the sound of the asparagus and the carrots...

Any different/unusual sauces, marinades or butters anyone uses?

DH and I went to an amazing steak restaurant which served macaroni cheese as a side, was perfect.

Look up the entrecôte sauce recipe, delicious. Serve with Waldorf salad.

Garlic mash and black pudding

Broccoli and asparagus roasted in garlic oil.

Stilton sauce with steak is yummy!

Ooo garlic mash. Yes.

We do creamed spinach and new potatoes roasted with rosemary and thyme.

Get some double cream, crumble blue cheese in and a splash of brandy.

I love bernaise sauce with steak. Matchstick chips and wilted spinach.

I made a bearnaise sauce, pommes anna, grilled veg.

Potatoes dauphinoise and a green salad with garlicky vinaigrette

Knob of very garlicky garlic butter on top rather than sauce, for me.

Skinny fries & roasted veg (vine tomatoes, aubergine, red onion, courgettes in olive oil and herbs)

Dauphoise potatoes and spinach or asparagus.

Sauce wise, I quite like a fruity one. This was designed to go with venison but we sometimes have it with steak:

In the pan used to cook the steaks, while the steak is resting, add a bit of butter and some crushed garlic. Then add a dollop of red currant jelly, or cranberry sauce. Then add about an equal amount of beef stock and simmer until the jelly has melted and the sauce has reduced. Add a handful of blackberries and cook until soft and juicy.

Loving all these..

Eminy that sauce sounds amazing!!!

Roasted vine tomatoes, garlic green beans and skinny fries (with mayo). Simple but best sides for steak ever.

Fried mushrooms and onions
Battered onion rings
Fried tomato halves
Fat chips

Chimichurri Sauce makes it more special but personally I'm quite happy with sauteed onions - big chucks fried till brown but soft and sweet - mushrooms, homemade chunky King Edward chips and Dijonnaise.

Saturday steak here today and we are having them with dauphinois potatoes, cauliflower cheese and big flat field mushrooms filled with goats cheese and baked in the oven. Yum!

Shameless place marking as I love steak and these sound amazing!
