Steakhouse sides

[FowlersFreeTime]

I have a lovely Wagyu Ribeye steak I plan to cook in a cast iron skillet with the usual "Butter, Garlic and Thyme" treatment this weekend, but I am looking for ideas on side dishes. While I am usually quite happy to serve up a steak with rice, beans, and corn-on-the-cob, I am really trying to up my culinary game this time.
What are your favorite accompaniments to a nice steak?

Mushrooms in all their glory and they love garlic and butter. I also make a pan sauce while I rest the steak. Acorn squash and squash in general is hitting the food stands in my area, so there's that.

I fix a baked potato for my Mom, and I have a salad.

Plus-one on sautéed mushrooms, add some onions.

Potatoes au Gratin is another good one. Can't go wrong with grilled (on the BBQ) asparagus, either.

Some proper thick cut chips, preferably triple cooked.

Now your talking, triple cooked is best. I wish I had the space, time and labor to make these in the restaurant.

Oh yeah. But, they have to be good chips/fries. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Creamed spinach is a classic side dish for steak. I'm also partial to having the steak served on a bed of crispy fried onions, and just about any potato dish on the side is fine by me. Our favorite "special occasion" supper club does a wonderful one-pan hash brown dish - golden brown and crunchy on the outside and creamy and just slightly chunky in the middle.

Exactly, they have to match the quality of the steak, skinny oven fries will not do.

A baked potato, for sure, is always a good side with a steak. Beans are OK, depending on the motif of the overall meal. A salad goes good, always. If not a baked potato, mashed potatoes will work too. On the veggie side, corn or mixed.

I'm a big fan or RibEye and Roast Potatoes (when done with love). I just posted this video about the matter.
I grew the potatoes myself!

Onions, peppers and mushrooms are another excellent side for a steak.

Just watched; I really like your Roast Potatoes!
Also, how funny that I'm doing this research in order to make a video for my channel and there are so many cooking channels (yourself included) that have covered the same topic already LOL!

You need to hook up with Andrew Rea (Binging with Babish). He has a net worth of $7.5 million -- from his YouTube channel.

He's one of my role models when it comes to this YouTube thing. He was a film student before he started cooking, and it shows in his production value.
heh, any time I feel the need to do a voiceover for a video, I tell myself I am channeling my "Inner Babish"
