The 3 best accompaniments for steak: Sauce, vegetables, and herbs

A steak is a star in its own right. But pair it with the right sides, and your meal goes to the next level. You don’t need much – just the right 3 things: a sauce that complements it, vegetables that add contrast, and a flavored butter that melts over the meat.

1. Quick yogurt, mustard, and honey sauce

A cooler, lighter accompaniment that goes perfectly with a hot steak, especially in the summer months.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons yogurt
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• A little lemon juice
• Pepper & salt (optional)

Method:

 Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Serve it on the side or spread it over the steak.

 2. Roasted vegetables in the oven or pan

Nothing could be simpler or tastier!

Ideas:

• Mixed bell peppers
• Zucchini
• Onion
• Mushrooms

Drizzle with a little olive oil, add salt and oregano, and roast in a hot oven or cook in a nonstick pan for 15–20 minutes.

3. Garlic and herb butter

The ultimate finishing touch: let it melt right over the steak as soon as you take it out of the pan or off the grill.

Homemade butter:

• 50 g butter
• 1 clove garlic (crushed)
• 1 tsp parsley
• Lemon zest (optional)

Make it, wrap it in cling film to form a log, then cut off a piece to place on your hot steak.

Greek-style alternatives:

• Boiled greens with lemon
• Oven-roasted potatoes with oregano and coarse salt
• Greek salad with feta

A steak deserves the right finishing touches on the plate to show it off. These 3 accompaniments add character, flavor, and a comforting family feel to your meal.
