SAUCES

Some people may think that you can't serve a steak without a good spoonful of sauce... Here are some of the ones that go best with steak:

• Pesto: We're not talking about the traditional basil-based green sauce, but a mixture of watercress, chilli and hazelnuts that some people cook with meat.
• Barbecue: The classic of classics. Its ingredients include tomato sauce, spices, sweeteners, honey, soy, vinegar...
• Chimichurri: This typical Argentinian sauce is made with chopped parsley, garlic, shallots and chilli.
• Peppercorns: Another classic meat sauce. Make it with butter, pepper, beef stock and cooking cream.

POTATOES

• Traditional fries: Classic fries are fried crispy in the deep fryer or frying pan.
• Sweet potato fries: A little lighter than your average fries, sweet potatoes are delicious sliced and work well in the oven.
• Mashed potatoes: Try them with garlic, mustard or horseradish.
• Baked potatoes: If you want a lighter version, try baking the potatoes in the oven, so they are lower in fat.
• In salads: dress potatoes with vinegar and olive oil.

 

OTHER SIDE DISHES

• Macaroni and cheese: Serve a small portion of macaroni and cheese on the side of the steak.
• Tomatoes: A grilled tomato half is a barbecue classic. Enhance the sweetness with a splash of vinegar.
• Cheese and chive salad: With mature cheddar cheese and mustard for flavour.
• Roasted vegetables: try a combination of peppers, green beans and aubergines.
