Best Side Dishes To Serve With Bavette Steak
These are some of my all-time favorite recipes to serve with a perfectly cooked bavette steak! From some classic steak pairings to hearty veggie sides, to fajita inspired ideas!
1. Boiled Potatoes
For the best boiled potatoes, you have to flavor the water. This recipe creates a delicious broth of salt, peppercorns, garlic, and a bay leaf that gets soaked into the baby potatoes as they cook.
Then, they’re drained and tossed with butter and spices for a finished dish that packs a flavorful punch!
2. Roasted Peppers and Onions
Roasted peppers and onions are great as a side, but use them to top off slices of bavette steak for a sincerely memorable meal. Roasting brings out the best flavors in vegetables that are unreachable through other forms of cooking.
You can also add salt, pepper, paprika, fresh herbs, etc. to personalize them to your meal.
3. Baked Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Impress your dinner guests with bacon wrapped asparagus! Not only are they photo-worthy, but they taste amazing.
The grassy taste of the veggies covered with the salty strips will have everyone asking for more. Don’t worry about high demand, though, they’re way easier to make than they look.
4. Sauteed Green Beans
Saute green beans for that tender-crisp texture everyone loves! You don’t even need to blanch them.
They’re a nice, light balance to a richer bavette steak, and they’re super easy to make. All you need is some onion and garlic powder for seasoning.
5. Microwave Baked Potato
I always grew up making baked potatoes in the microwave. It’s incredibly easy and will save you tons of time!
While you won’t get the roasted taste the oven brings out, you’ll appreciate a more neutral flavor when you add your favorite toppings! They’re the perfect, personalizable sides for bavette steak or a quick after school snack for the kids.
6. Cucumber Vinegar Salad
Combine sweet and tangy in this cucumber vinegar salad. It’s ideal for a warm summer day barbecue.
Throw the bavette steak on the grill, and pull this out of the fridge–yes, you can make it the night before! Guests will love this cool, crunchy dish with the distinct taste of fresh dill.
7. Southern Fried Corn
Southern fried corn isn’t your average sweet corn. Pull out the bacon, onions, garlic, and chives! This is a savory paradise for your tastebuds.
It’ll only take you 5 minutes of prep time for a versatile side everyone will enjoy.
8. Creamed Kale
There’s no doubt this is the creamiest, richest side vegetable I’ve had in a long time. It’s cheesy and garlicky with a touch of nutmeg for added complexity.
Even with a pound of kale in it, it’s easy to forget this vitamin-packed veggie is the main ingredient. If you have picky eaters at home, this is a winner.
9. Homemade Flour Tortilla
Turn your bavette steak into phenomenal tacos with peppers, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. They’re not difficult once you get the hang of it.
Lard makes an appearance in this recipe for extra flavor. The best part is that you’re in control of the size. Make them for extra large burritos or traditional street taco size. Minimal kneading required.
10. Roasted Okra
All you need is a little salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika for this amazing recipe. As this will prove, not all good okra is fried!
It’s a Southern classic with a twist and a crisp. No slimy pieces included.
11. Potatoes O'Brien
Potatoes O’Brien are a real treat when included with a restaurant-style country breakfast. Hearty and unique, these potato bites are pan-fried with bell peppers, onion, and spices.
Paired with bavette steak, it can be served for any meal!
12. Fried Cabbage
Fried cabbage has all the fantastic savory flavor you would expect with a few surprises. Bacon and onion add a twist on your everyday cabbage dish.
Pan fry everything and have a bavette steak complement on the tables in just 15 minutes.
13. Garlic Butter Mushrooms
It’s impossible not to love garlic butter mushrooms! Sautee them in garlic butter with a sprinkle of steak seasoning and teriyaki sauce for the perfect side for any kind of steak.
They almost enhance the flavor of the beef. You’ll never want beef without them again!

What To Serve With Bavette Steak: Creamed Kale (+More Great Side Dish Recipes!)
Ingredients
- 1 lb kale (stems removed)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup yellow onion (minced or finely diced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups half & half (or heavy cream)
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
- 2 oz cream cheese
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- Fill a large stockpot with salted water and bring it to a boil (it should be enough water to cover the kale). Add the kale to the pot and boil it until it begins to wilt, roughly 3-5 minutes. Immediately drain the pot into a colander and rinse the kale with cold water until it is fully cooled. Set aside.
- Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the onion and garlic and saute until fragrant and the onion is translucent or 8-10 minutes.
- Add the seasonings (salt, ground black pepper, and ground nutmeg) to your pan and stir gently. Next, add the all-purpose flour. Mix it in until it becomes a paste-like consistency. Saute the flour paste for 2-3 minutes, continuing to mix occasionally, to cook off the taste of the flour. Then, slowly pour in the half & half while whisking and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese and mozzarella. Continue stirring for about 5 minutes until all the cheese is smooth, melted, and thickened.
- Using your hands, squeeze the rinsed kale until you've removed as much water as possible. Transfer the kale to a cutting board and roughly chop it into strips that are between ½-inch and ¾-inch in width.
- Add the chopped kale and Parmesan cheese to the pan, stirring to break up the kale and melt the Parmesan. Once the kale is warmed through and the cheese is melted, remove from heat and serve immediately.
