Plating Steak and Sides

Ribeye Steak with green beans and potatoes

When steak is the main attraction, serving a small side of green beans and roasted potatoes is all your need to round out the plate. Timing everything to be ready at the same time takes a little practice. The potatoes crisp up quickly if you cut them into bite size pieces, but that's where you want to start. Next, get your grilling going so you can concentrate on cooking the green beans to perfection. When you are ready to make the second turn on the meat, get your water boiling (use a steamer if you like). Now, back to the grill for your additional turns, and then set the meat to rest. Pop in your beans for a few minutes until they are bright green and to the tenderness you like. By now, your potatoes are ready. Your beans are finished, your steak is juicy and you're ready to plate up some delicious.
