Best Side Dish Recipes For Steak
By LAUREN ROTHMAN
Lemon Garlic Green Beans
Described as "spring on a plate" by its developer, this recipe for lemon garlic green beans is dead simple, requiring just six ingredients in total: green beans, butter, fresh garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Served with lemon wedges, this fast, easy dish is a perfect accompaniment to any type of steak.
Brussels Sprouts Salad
If you love coleslaw but are looking for something different to heap beside your perfectly cooked steak, then this fresh salad made with shaved raw Brussels sprouts, nutty Manchego cheese, sweet pitted dates, and crunchy sunflower seeds fits the bill. Best of all, prep time is only about 12 minutes from start to finish.
Chickpea Salad
Our chickpea salad draws upon Moroccan flavors. The chickpeas are joined by olives, apricots, and pistachios, then tossed in a dressing featuring oregano and paprika. A sprinkle of fresh parsley finishes the dish with a hit of bright herbaceousness and an added touch of green.
Korean Potato Salad
If you've never had creamy, flavorful, Korean-style potato salad known as gamja saelleodeu, you're seriously missing out. Potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, chopped hard boiled eggs, and minced red onion are mixed with apple cider vinegar and mayonnaise for a perfectly creamy, slightly tart side.
Lemon Rice Pilaf
This bright, citrusy pilaf is great if you're looking for a lighter way to enjoy rice alongside your steak. To prepare it, raw basmati rice is briefly sautéed with onion, garlic, and lemon zest before being simmered with vegetable broth, more lemon in the form of juice, fresh dill and parsley, plus cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
