Steak Side(s)
Posted on 10/15/21 at 9:49 am

Doing some Snake River Filets tonight and feel like I always cook the same sides. My go-tos are of course baked potatoes (idaho or sweet) but also steak fries, asparagus, broccoli, salad, corn, etc.
Any ideas out there to get me out of the rut?
ETA: Not sure if it matters but I am generally a whiskey and steak guy not wine.

Roasted brussels sprouts, tossed in a chili garlic sauce.
You can always change up the salad. Either change dressings, toppings, type of lettuce. Anything from an Iceberg wedge salad, to grilled romaine hearts. I also always like a caprese salad, but it's obviously best when tomatoes are in season.
If you want a sweet side to substitute for the potatoes, carrot souffle is a good one.

Second roasted brussels. We usually just do a seasoning blend with bacon grease. Cook them hot and get them nice and browned

I always like to make GOP pasta as a side, but it just could be that I love pasta . Simple, easy, and tasty if done right.
Look up "Scarlet's Pasta". I mine similar with a little more flair.

All - thanks for the suggestions.
Not me downvoting but obviously someone does not like cauliflower or Brussel sprouts!
I think I am going with the Scarlett's pasta and a bleu cheese salad. Simple, elegant and it sounds great.
Added quite a few to my list for next time.
Again - thanks to all.

I know you said potatoes, but here me out with this:
Take some russets, peel them and cut off the ends so that they can stand up like a tower. Then cut them in half to be two small towers. Brown them in shallots, olive oil and butter in your cast iron, then cover with salt, pepper and herbs de provance. Return them to the cast iron in their standing position and roast in oven at 425 until cooked through. It's a great balance of crispy and soft, and they are delicious. It's a nice, different take on potatoes that I go to at times. Found the recipe online a few years back, but I don't remember where in order to link it here.

Thanks midget! Sounds great seems like someone posted that recipe on here a while back. May have been you.
Clarification: When you cut them in half I am assuming you mean the short axis?

I like doing a mixture of roasted vegetables (mushrooms/red onion/squash/eggplant etc) with EVOO and finished with balsamic after.
One of my standard sides with Tri-tip is a pretty basic risotto (can also add the veggies above into it).
If you like potatoes but want to jazz them up a bit, Hasselback Potatoes are pretty easy and make a great presentation (personally I would leave the sour cream off).

Another vote for mushrooms. I usually go with the sliced baby bellas or the blend they have at Publix, saute them in an iron skillet with a little oil while I'm grilling, and then add a little bit of red wine if I have any and let that simmer down. Top the steaks with them.

Roasted cauliflower
I love whole roasted cauliflower. Boil it to cook, let it drain/dry, season with a olive oil (or butter I'd you want some real goodness), S&P, paprika, garlic powder, throw it on my egg at 700F+ and roast it until it starts to almost burn
Once off the grill I drizzle a little more oil/butter over it
