What To Serve With Steaks?

[NoMercy]

I've got a couple of steaks for dinner. Personally I like a fried egg or grilled stilton on mine, with a side salad.

I rather think he would prefer egg on top and chunky chips on the side.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

boringly chips and peas will do for me

I like peppercorn sauce and potato croquettes with mine (with a grilled tomato and garlicky sauteed spinach on the side)

Baked Potatoes with Butter or Sour Cream & Chives?

why not make all of that and dole it out as appropriate?
sweetcorn and fried mushrooms

Grilled toms with garlic butter on and button mushrooms chunky chips

[Barmaid]

Game chips?
Parmentier potatoes?

Or an au gratin? (Fry shallots and mixture of wild and chestnut mushrooms, leave to cool, stir in parsley, tarragon and chives. Whip up 4 tbsp of cream and fold it in and an egg yolk. Leave in fridge. When you want to finish off the steaks dollop some of the mixture on top, sprinkle with parmesan and grill)

Hmmm... I bet M&S do a nice peppercorn sauce. I CBA making one.

Arky, they're only Aldi steaks.

I don't make mine either. I use a Schwartz packet and chuck a teaspoon of fresh green peppercorns in at the end. You can't tell the difference.

Stilton sauce is really nice and goes well with steaks. Super easy to make as well.

Tempura onion rings, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms sauteed in butter, sauteed potatoes and a bottle of Minervois. Pour the cooking juices over the meat.

(And an egg on top - runny)

Boulangère potatoes and garden peas.

Though a chunky chip is not easily dismissed.

bubble and squeak with egg on top x

So many good suggestions, I've got a real dilemma on my hands now.

My juices are flowing, before I go a wondering, I'm still waiting for the Sheppard's pie to be cooked... I was always taught that you can't go shopping on an empty stomach.
