A simple arugula salad with a lemon vinaigrette adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the steak and potatoes. For a bolder flavor profile, try adding a side of grilled asparagus or roasted Brussels sprouts.
You can also experiment with different herb combinations for the potatoes, such as thyme, oregano, or a blend of Italian herbs.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, try marinating the steaks in a flavorful blend of herbs and spices before grilling. The possibilities are truly endless.
