You’ve got a nice, fancy, steak dinner planned. But then-what do you serve with it? A side dish can really help make a steak night exceptional–and without a lot of work. Think simplicity. Some of these look really fancy, but actually require little effort.
This is technically more than 5 side dish options to serve with steak, because some of them have multiple suggestions for how to prepare them, but I’ve separated them by the main ingredient.
Mashed potatoes and butternut squash. This makes mashed potatoes special, and the butternut squash gives the potatoes a buttery/cheesy taste. You simply chop up the potatoes and squash into squares, boil them (separately because they have slightly different boiling points), and then mash them up together. I like to mix in some butter, and I like a bit more potato than squash.
Steamed pepper strips. I like to mix this up with some corn, and possibly some edamame. This really only needs a little bit of butter mixed in, but you can also mix in some salsa, or red pepper flakes. Steaming keeps this a low calorie side dish, dependent only on how much butter you decide to mix in.
Another great steamed side is green beans. Steaming them gives them a great crisp summer flavor. Mix them up with a bit of salsa, or toasted almond slivers and thyme, for two very different low calorie sides.
Brussels sprouts. If you haven’t liked these in the past and are thinking about skipping to the next idea straight away, it’s probably because the ones you’ve had were overcooked. Before you give up on them altogether, try steaming them! They should have a great nutty flavor.
Asparagus is probably the best looking side dish for a steak. You can steam it up and serve it plain, or steam it with some sliced garlic, or if you want to abandon all thought of calories pour a nice hollandaise sauce over it!

The Science Behind the “Elite Weight Loss Program” Years of research have gone into the world of weight loss solutions and we used all the data we could find to device this system. Very early in our studies we found that a special diet incorporated for a certain type of gym routine was the way forward. High carbohydrate, Isometric, food combining, food separating, high protein, Ketogenic are just a few types of diets we combined with work out routines.
So years past with scientific monitoring of each program in action using advanced training and monitoring equipment, until we had the formula down to a tee. Hollywood stars didn’t come knocking over night though.
