Last update:
Steakhouse-Inspired Grilled Steak With Potatoes

A well-cooked steak is one of the fastest shortcuts to cooking an impressive dinner.

But let’s be honest — you can only cook the same steak recipe so many times before it gets too repetitive and boring.

So, if you’re looking to expand your steak portfolio, try out some of the steak dinner recipes mentioned below! 

1. Steakhouse-Inspired Grilled Steak With Potatoes

Of course, we’ve got to start this list with the classic steakhouse favorite: grilled steak with potatoes.

If you’ve already served this classic combination more times than you’d like, you might want to skip ahead to other recipes.

But if you’re open to trying another mouthwatering spin on this beloved duo, you’re in for a treat! 

Best cooked over direct fire, this recipe features a perfectly seasoned New York strip steak paired with skillet potatoes and a homemade steak sauce that’s sure to give you a restaurant-quality meal.

As long as you’ve got the fire nice and hot, you can cook this dish in under 40 minutes too!

2. Steak Frites Salad 

In France, Steak Frites, which is a dish that combines steak with fries, is a very common and beloved dinner recipe.

As it expanded to other countries, the dish gradually evolved with additions such as salad to create a fresher, more balanced meal!

What I love most about this dish, though, is that it’s very customizable.

Switch up the type of steak you cook, greens you use, or salad dressing that you prefer. 

You’ll still enjoy the flavor fusion and texture contrast of the juicy meat, fresh vegetables, and crispy potatoes.

3. Steak Diane With Asaparagus

If you want a flavorful and easy-to-make steak dinner that looks unique and appetizing, I highly recommend trying Steak Diane with asparagus.

This saucy dish was very popular in fine dining in the mid-1900s.

Over the years, simpler steak meals, such as grilled ribeye, took over.

But this doesn’t change the fact that Steak Diane, especially when paired with asparagus, is still a delicious and elegant meal!

Cooked by adding seared steak to rich beef broth, sautéed mushrooms, cognac, and other aromatic ingredients, this dish has a more complex flavor profile than classic steak dishes. 

Impress people with the versatility of your cooking skills!

4. Chimichurri Steak Rice Bowls 

Steak and chimichurri have always been a classic combo.

These two bring out the best from each other, as the tangy and zesty flavors of the sauce cut through the richness of the steak.

Now, this pair is usually paired with some potatoes, salads, or green vegetables.

But if you want a more filling option, you can’t go wrong with opting for rice!

Served on a bed of rice, steak chimichurri becomes one of the heartiest steak meals.

It’s one of the simplest rice bowls you can make that’ll taste delicious despite not requiring three or four different sides or toppings.

5. Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla

Combine the flavors of the American classic Philly Cheesesteak with the Mexican favorite quesadillas.

The result? 

Philly Cheesesteak quesadillas that are sure to be a hit among the crowd!

Making this dish is as easy as assembling cooked steak, vegetables, and cheese between tortillas. 

We usually prepare this when we want a casual dinner while watching movies or playing games.

Pair your quesadillas with classic Mexican sides such as Mexican corn, pico de gallo, and even nachos for the perfect casual, fun dinner in front of the TV!

It may be easy to undercook or overcook certain steak cuts.

But air fryer steak bites?

You’ll cook them perfectly without managing the heat or watching every second!

This dish is perfect if you’re super pressed for time and can’t be bothered with standing for 15 minutes searing or grilling steak.

Pair it with freshly cooked or made-ahead mashed potatoes for delicious flavors with little to no effort!

If you really want to take your steak dinner to the next level, you’ll have zero problems impressing anyone with beef negimaki.

Made by rolling thinly sliced flank steak around scallions, this dish looks and tastes exactly like something you can get from a premium Japanese restaurant.

I usually serve beef negimaki with grilled asparagus, but you can also serve it with a bed of white rice or salad.
