What do you serve with steak?

[BasinHaircut]

I’m trying to write myself a 2-week meal plan so that I can free myself from the constant need to think about what we are going to eat for dinner each week. We are also dieting and so I want to work out calories for our meals in advance.

My skeleton plan is as follows:

Steak
Chicken
Fish
Oily fish
Eggs
Plant based
One meal out/treat meal.

I have multiple go-to recipes for each protein source so can do different on week 1 and week 2, but I’m completely at a loss as to what to serve with my steak. I don’t want to do chips and feel otherwise completely uninspired.

So what do you serve with your steak?

Baked potato, asparagus, mushrooms and onions?

Make it into stroganoff

Dauphinoise potatoes if feeling fancy, mash or chips if not!

Steak salad is nice too with new potatoes.

Mushrooms, runner beans, one other vegetable and sometimes mash. With peppercorn sauce.

Fajitas?

Salad? Boulangere potatoes (Delia has a good recipe) asparagus and tender stem broccoli

Salad and sweet potato wedges

Salad and big mushrooms. Bit of garlic bread if carbs are desired.

Greek salad and ciabatta

Chips, peas and pepper sauce 😋

Definitely include the mushrooms if you’re healthy eating. They are low carbohydrate and low calorie and a good source of minerals.

A really big, interesting salad. Usually with rocket as the “base leaf”

Roasted baby potatoes with rosemary and garlic, steamed green beans and a big fat grilled tomato

Salad. Sometimes I make steak tagliata.

Home made slimming world chips or M & S Frites.

Maman Blanc tomato salad.

Cous cous and peas?
Ratatouille?
Roasted veg?
Grilled beef tomatoes and mushrooms?
Baked sweet potato and spinach?

At this time of year
Fajitas and salad
Stir fry, either cook it separate or slice steak up to add to it.
Cous cous and salad.

I would eat steak with either grilled tomato and spinach or a salad.

Chips and fried onions. DH will have a fried egg too.

Chips, peas, onion rings and peppercorn sauce!

Roasted tomatoes (on the vine if feeling fancy) and spinach or tenderstem broccoli.

I like to cook either mushrooms or a sliced shallot in the pan with the steak then have a lot of mixed salad on the side. Very occasionally I may have a few chips.

Tomato, Mozzarella and Avacardo salad with pesto.

Sweet potato wedges, mushroom stuffed with cheese and caramelised red onions! 🤤
