If you’re on a keto or low-carb diet, a typical chophouse may not serve your needs when it comes to side dishes. This is because most classic steakhouse sides have corn, potatoes, or pasta, and there’s nothing keto about those. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a meaty party, complete with delicious and keto-friendly side dishes. 

There are numerous keto side dishes for steak you can prepare at home and have a better version of your favorite steakhouse experience. Also, many of these are air-fried to keep the calories as low as possible.

Does this sound like a deal already? If so, below are some game-changing low carb side dishes for steak you can try.

four keto side dishes for steak asparagus, sautéed mushrooms, cauliflower macaroni and cheese, and shrimp scampi

1. Air Fryer Squash

This squash forms an excellent accompaniment for air fryer steak or roasted chicken legs without compromising your keto goals. With only 6 ingredients and in less than 20 minutes, you’ll have made a tasty side dish.
