What to serve with gammon steak

Gammon is a pork cut sourced from the hind legs of the pig. It then undergoes a curing process that imparts a delightful salty flavour. Recipe development manager, Mimi Morley, explains that it is for this reason that many people choose to pair sweet sides, like pineapple, to complement and balance the salty taste. Some classic gammon side dishes would be egg and chips, sweet potato mash and a honey mustard sauce.

Steak pie is a British classic, often served with a hearty portion of mashed potatoes to help soak up the delicious pie filling. Be sure to add a few spoonfuls of green peas or any of your favourite vegetables to help cut through the richness of the steak pie sauce.

What to serve with fillet steak

Fillet steak is a popular, hearty beef cut that classicly pairs with chunky chips, peppercorn sauce, and maybe even with a few onion rings on the side. For something more luxurious, add rosemary fries and green beans with a tasty blue cheese sauce, to keep your fillet steak moist and juicy.

What to serve with sirloin steak

Sirloin steak is often cut thinner compared to other steaks like rump and fillet, making it a wonderful complement to lighter dishes.
