A steak dinner is ideal for a birthday or an anniversary however, it can also give a mundane weekday a festive and different vibe making your family happy to sit down and enjoy the meal. Side dishes must be chosen well to balance the meal, add colour and zest eliciting those sparkling conversations!
A light and crunchy accompaniment which is healthier than more favoured French fries and equally tempting. Indulge in these crispy rings with the dip of your choice. Available at most Phuket restaurants as a side dish.
Whole button mushrooms sauteed in garlic butter makes your mouth water, added with a fistful of fresh herbs such as thyme, chives and rosemary give it an added aroma and a delectable taste, a great dish to complement a good steak dinner as enjoyed by many guests at Age Restaurant.
Juicy cherry tomatoes, crisp iceberg lettuce, sweet corn, crispy bacon strips, and juliennes of red cabbage are tossed together and topped with wedges of hard-boiled egg and cheesy dressings to make this tempting salad.
Broccoli florets are roasted till just tender with a dash of oil, chopped garlic and a hint of red chilli flakes making the flavours ooze out and blend with the spices giving it spice and taste. A great side dish to be enjoyed with a sprinkling of lemon.
A fusion of flavours to linger on along with your steak dinner. A variety of vegetables such as sweet potato, carrots, beets, baby potatoes and green beans are simply baked and dribbled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It is a great way to balance proteins with greens and carbs.
Hot from the grill and drizzled with butter, one can almost feel that aroma of freshly roasted corn on the cob, a super accompaniment with your steak. Try variations of a dash of chilli powder, grated cheese and even lime juice to enjoy it to the fullest.
A lighter option for mashed potatoes, this warm and golden dish is made of mashed and pureed cauliflower drenched with browned sizzling butter and topped with grated parmesan cheese. A mouth-watering side dish.
Potatoes are the most used side dish to complement a steak dinner. There are many preparations possible such as mashed, scalloped, French fries, jacket potatoes etc. This dish of roasted potatoes makes the potato get brown on both sides of each half and the top is then drenched with grated parmesan and left to stand in the oven a minute or two to become crispy and golden brown with a lingering cheesy taste.
Pasta cooked just right is combined with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, green onion, roasted peppers and blanched peas to make a rainbow side dish dressed with mayo or an oil-based dressing of your choice.
