Summer is here, and you know what that means! Sunny days, friends and family, and delicious meals. So what are you ordering at DC STEAKHOUSE this sumer? To get your mouth watering, here’s a list of our favorite summer main dishes, sides, and wines!

Summer Main Dishes We Love 

Since we have so many wonderful options on the menu, deciding on a main dish at DC STEAKHOUSE can be difficult. So we’ve narrowed it down for you a bit. Here are our three favorite main dishes for summer. 

Pan-Fried Lemon Chicken

The deep citrus flavor of the chicken, mixed with the hearty pasta, makes this dish perfect for refueling after a big day of summer activities. 

Pan-Fried Walleye Pike

Perfectly seasoned and pan-fried to perfection, our walleye is a lighter, healthier choice for a summer dinner. Flaky and flavorful, this main dish is sure to satisfy you while leaving some room for dessert. 

Filet Mignon

This melt-in-your-mouth cut of steak is sure to please any time of year. During the summertime, we love to pair a rich and juicy filet mignon with one of the light, delicious sides below. It’s an experience that screams summer vacation. 

Fresh Sides and Summer Salads  

Whether you’re craving fries or you want a lighter dish to help you beat the heat, here’s a list of our favorite sides for summer.

Veggies 

Our steamed vegetables or grilled asparagus are both wonderful choices for the summer months. These simply prepared vegetables can be the perfect accompaniment to our pan-fried or a nice contrast to a rich steak. And nothing says summer like grilled asparagus. It adds a beautiful bitter note to your meal, as well as some essential vitamins and nutrients!  

Thin-Cut French Fries 

French fries are always in season! If comfort food is what you crave, you won’t be disappointed when you order a side of fries with your meal. 

Tomato and Mozzarella Salad 

The quintessential summer salad! With tangy tomatoes, rich mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil, it’s both refreshing and delicious. 

Wedge Salad

Our crisp wedge salad is another summer staple. Chopped vegetables and thick blue cheese dressing are enough to make mouths water at the whole table. 

Try One of Our Favorite Summer Wines!

Wine is a great way to round out a meal. While white might seem like the obvious choice for summer, our perfectly crafted summer wine list includes some reds as well. 

Red 

The fruit-forward, complex flavors of a red zinfandel make it an exceptional summer wine. We suggest pairing it with a filet mignon, as it helps balance the richness of the steak.

White 

Bright, flavorful, and cold. The sauvignon blanc paired with the walleye makes for a classic summer combination. We love the fruity notes next to the exceptionally flaky fish. Want the wine, but not the seafood? This wine also pairs well with our wedge salad. The crisp wine cuts through the creamy blue cheese like a dream. 

Bubbly

Looking for a wine to enjoy with a dessert, or do you simply want wine for dessert? A glass of crisp prosecco is exactly what you need. It doesn’t have to be a special occasion to break out the bubbly! Our citrus-forward variety makes a rich dessert, like the New York Cheesecake, taste even better.
