A great steak or fish dinner needs the right sides, and these are the steakhouse and backyard classics: creamy steakhouse creamed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes, crisp-skinned baked potatoes, roasted asparagus with lemon and Parmesan, grilled corn on the cob with chili lime butter, and a tangy creamy coleslaw.
Pair rich dishes with something fresh. Asparagus or coleslaw balance a ribeye or ribs, while mashed potatoes and creamed spinach turn a filet mignon or prime rib into a full steakhouse dinner. Most of these sides can be made ahead or cooked alongside the main course.
