Beef steak

Description

Steak pairs well with any side dish of your choice, like most meat dishes. The most popular options are potatoes, pasta, porridge, and vegetables (fresh or roasted). In parallel, you can prepare a simple sauce based on cream, tomatoes, or the fat rendered from searing the steak.
