While chicken is a popular go-to entree, steak dinners are a simple and quick option for both entertaining and busy weeknights alike.  You can go all out with fancy filet mignon cuts, or keep it inexpensive (but delicious) with flank steak or sirloin.  To round out the meal, pair steak with one of these hearty and delicious side dishes. Whether you're cooking for family or friends (or both), everyone is sure to rave just as much over these sides as they are over the steak.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to try out this casserole, but we love it for a regular weeknight as well. This dish is best with small, compact Brussels sprouts because they have a milder flavor than the large, leafy ones.

Baked sweet potatoes are terrific with just a little butter and seasoning. Purists will love this recipe, but if you need a little something extra, try sprinkling brown sugar or ground cinnamon over the top for a finishing touch.

This recipe, adapted from one served at the popular Restaurant Hasselbacken in Stockholm, Sweden, proves just how easy and delicious potatoes can be. For best results, choose oblong potatoes of uniform size and trim if needed so they'll lie flat without wobbling as you cut into them.

This quick and easy grilled corn salad is a play on esquites, a wildly popular Mexican street food. Also known as corn in a cup, esquites are the cobless equivalent to elotes, grilled Mexican street corn topped with mayonnaise, various spices, and crumbled cojita cheese.  Sprinkle on some chipotle powder for an added kick.

Garlic-Stuffed Mushrooms

It sounds almost crazy to use two bulbs of garlic to stuff such a small quantity of mushrooms. But slow-cooking the garlic in cream tempers its flavor so the mellow bulbs can be crushed and stirred into crunchy Japanese breadcrumbs for a rich filling.
