side dish debate

[Snoogans]

ok so i picked up some cuts of filet mignon this evening at the butcher. I will be cooking them tomorrow. Ill make some vegetable im sure.

What I havent been able to decide is if I want to make some kind of yellow rice with it or garlic mashed potatoes.

I come here when i cant decide this nonsense shit myself, so help me. Im making it sometime around1pm tomorrow since im off and gonna be lazy.

creamed spinach and some type of potatoes


garlic or regular mashed is always nice

ummm ewww. Just for that the vegetable is gonna be green beans FROM A CAN. FUCK HEALTH

[PapaBear]

Go for the rice. The mass of the potatoes can detract from the steak, in my opinion. And since you're going to be lazy, get some Zatarains rice. It's easy as shit, and quite good.

[weekapaugjz]

garlic mashed and steamed broccoli. i don't think there is a better meal than a filet with those two sides.

by lazy i meant sitting around all day so i actually have more time for it. I dont know what kinda rice that is, i have some goya yellow rice thing, its actually pretty fuckin good

potatoes, no doubt. i hope that canned beans was a joke.

in this case it was, though i cant lie, sometimes i dont mind them. Just to know they are unhealthy compared to what they should be. Plus something about preservatives rule.
but fuck no, i would not make canned vegetables with a filet. Im not a savage

[TheGameHHH]

garlic mashed, hands down.

or you could do a nice sweet potato

there is nothing nice about sweet potato. ALL IT IS IS A RUINED POTATO

you sir, are a hater...

sweet potatoes are amazing

[TooLowBrow]

a sweet potato is a potato for girls

[Snoogans]

a sweet potato is a potato for girls

then that explains everything

[Farmer Dave]

Seems to me the only choice to go with that cut of meat is a baked potato w/ sour cream and chives.

A few questions will help clarify things:

Are you eating by yourself?

If not, are you trying to impress the person/people you're dining with?

Any occasion?

[johnniehardrock]

I would do some sort of mashed or if you want to do a little more work home fried potatoes with nice onion frizzles. The vegetable should be a nice side of grilled asparagas

totally agree on the asparagus.

[Thebazile78]

totally agree on the asparagus.

I don't. Asparagus is out of season (even 2nd season is out of season) and is foul when it's not at its peak.

When I made filet, back in the spring (at the peak of 1st season asparagus) I served it with mashed potatoes and asparagus.

If I were to do it now, I would go with steamed broccoli and oven-roasted potatoes.

I love sweet potatoe fries with my steak. I use a pizza stone and bake sweet potatoe wedges on the stone in the oven.

im cooking it for myself. Its gonna be a personaly AWESOME late lunch. So the only person i really care about liking it is me

[landarch]

Broccoli Rabe (boil it first, then sautee with garlic and olive oil), potatoes au gratin, and applesauce with cinnamon.

Fuckin starvin'

Edit: I originally said garlic mashed potatoes, but that's too much garlic.

[joethebartender]

Sauteed snow peas with minced garlic and a rice pilaf.
Scoop of chocolate, scoop of vanilla...dont waste my time!

it ruled, but i got a little bit overboard. I made garlic mashed and the rice and steamed brocoli. if fuckin ruled

[Yosammity]

Wrap that filet mignon in some bacon. Serve it with a heaping pile of baked potato wedges (drizzled in olived oil with rosemary). I also vote for some sauteed broccoli rabe.
