The Best Steakhouse Sides

Here at DC STEAKHOUSE, we take food seriously, so we only serve seriously good food. In our opinion, steak is the best main course on the planet. Which means it should only be paired with the best sides. Our steaks are all Certified Angus Beef, and our side dishes are equal to those high standards.

Which of these three staff favorites would you choose? 

#1 Mashed Potatoes

Steak and potatoes are a match made in heaven. In fact, eating them together has nutritional benefits. That's right, you should eat potatoes with your steak. For your health.

Our favorite type of potatoes for steak is a classic mash. But if mashed potatoes are not your thing, we also offer a hash brown served with cheese and onions, or French fries (thin cut or sweet potato). 

#2 Creamy Mac and Cheese 

Looking for decadence? In the mood for comfort food? Well then you have to try our creamy, cheesy lobster mac and cheese!

Our mac and cheese is one of the best sides for steak. The rich, deep flavors of the heavy cheese sauce combine perfectly with the savory, smoky taste of steak. It's rich, it's amazing, it's the ultimate high-end comfort food you need.

#3 Seasonal Vegetables

Vegetables don’t just add extra nutrition to your plate. They can also be a delightfully fresh addition to your meal. 

Looking to add a bright note to your plate? Our steamed mixed vegetables are for you. This medley changes with the seasons, so you’re sure to get a fresh, flavorful side. 

Want to balance the richness of your meal? Choose either the asparagus (grilled or creamed) or the sauteed Brussels sprouts. These two vegetables are mildly bitter, so they complement the richness of a steak without overpowering the flavor, creating a perfect balance. 

Want something a little more earthy? Sautéed mushrooms are another classic pairing. The meatiness of the mushrooms matches the texture of a steak, and adds a hearty, earthy note to your dinner.
