Method
 

  1. Choose 2–3 sides that balance the plate with a mix of starch, vegetable or salad, and optional sauce.
  2. Start cooking the longest preparation time sides first, such as roasted mashed potatoes or baked fries.
  3. Add quicker sides like salads or sautéed vegetables toward the end so they stay fresh and crisp.
  4. Serve plated sides alongside sliced ribeye steak and add sauces if desired for moisture and flavor contrast.

Notes

Start with a starchy side first and add a crisp vegetable or salad last to avoid a heavy or mushy plate.
