January 06, 20252 min read

Welcome to Southern Twist, where every meal is a celebration of Southern comfort and flavor! Our cubed steak is one of the most popular items on the menu—tender, savory, and cooked to perfection. But no Southern meal is complete without the perfect side dishes to bring everything together. Here are eight of our favorite sides that complement cubed steak like biscuits and gravy.

1. Creamy Mashed Potatoes

What pairs better with a hearty cubed steak than a mound of creamy mashed potatoes? Add a generous helping of gravy, and you have a match made in comfort food heaven. The smooth, buttery texture of the potatoes balances perfectly with the savory bite of the steak.

2. Buttery Cornbread

Cornbread is a Southern staple, and at Southern Twist, it’s a side that steals the show. Sweet, crumbly, and rich with butter, cornbread soaks up every bit of flavor from your cubed steak and leaves you craving more.

3. Collard Greens

For a true Southern twist, add a side of collard greens. Slow-cooked with smoky bacon and a touch of spice, these greens provide a bold, tangy contrast to the richness of cubed steak.

4. Fried Okra

Crispy, golden-fried okra is a crowd favorite and a must-have for any Southern meal. The crunch of the breading and the tender okra inside create a delightful texture that pairs wonderfully with cubed steak.

5. Macaroni and Cheese

Who can resist gooey, cheesy mac and cheese? This indulgent side dish is a favorite for kids and adults alike. It’s creamy, comforting, and the perfect accompaniment to a juicy cubed steak.

6. Sweet Potato Casserole

Add a touch of sweetness to your plate with sweet potato casserole. Topped with marshmallows or a pecan crumble, this side offers a sweet and savory contrast to the hearty flavors of cubed steak.

7. Green Beans with Bacon

There’s nothing quite like fresh green beans cooked with bacon and onions. This classic side dish adds a crisp, savory element to your meal, making every bite of cubed steak even more satisfying.

8. Hush Puppies

Looking for something fun and fried? Hush puppies are the way to go! These little balls of cornmeal goodness are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the perfect complement to a Southern-inspired plate.
