If you’re wondering what to serve with your London broil, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, I list 48 of the most popular side dishes for London broil.
In a rush? Here’s the short answer.
The best side dishes for London broil include truffle mash, Hasselback squash, an Asian salad, garlic butter rolls, or roasted broccoli. Other veggie options are grilled carrots or corn, or an apple and walnut salad. For an impressive side, go for a lemon risotto.
Steakhouse sides
London broil isn’t the fanciest cut of steak, but who’s to say you can’t give it the full premium steakhouse treatment with these side dishes?
Go for a creamy mash, especially if you want to make a cut as lean as London broil more decadent. Or why not go with a plate of onion rings for a crispy contrast?
Truffle mashed potatoes
Mashed potatoes and London broil – you can’t get any more classic than this duo.
But this recipe isn’t your typical mashed potatoes. They get an extra flavor boost with the addition of sour cream and truffle oil.
Top these mashed potatoes with slices of your London broil and let the spuds soak up the juices to make every bite extra tasty.
Pro-tip: Remember to go easy on the truffle oil. It’s potent and can easily overpower your mash.

Starches
London broil is a pretty lean cut of meat, so pairing it with a hearty, starchy side is guaranteed to make it more satisfying.
You can never go wrong with a plate of creamy pasta for a bit of indulgence, but a simple rice pilaf also works wonders. Although if you’re looking for something fancy, go all out with a luxurious risotto.
Tomato basil orzo
Look no further than this tomato basil orzo recipe if you want a healthy, filling side dish. It features a zesty homemade vinaigrette and tomatoes that have been seasoned with honey and chili powder, then roasted with prosciutto.
The results? Deliciously sweet-savory pasta dish with a mildly spicy kick that’ll wake up your taste buds.
Serve this vibrant side dish with your grilled London broil for the ultimate midweek summer treat.

Teriyaki rice pilaf
Rice pilaf is a hearty, all-in-one side dish that you can make in advance if you’re looking to save time. The teriyaki sauce gives it some flair, while adding some peas gives the rice some color.
Don’t have any teriyaki sauce? Soy sauce will work in a pinch, but you’ll be losing out on quite a bit of flavor. So I highly recommend getting a bottle of it.
Pro-tip: make sure to use leftover rice to make this rice pilaf for best results.

Vegetables
Looking to keep your London Broil low-carb? Ditch the starchy sides and stick with vegetables.
You can try steamed green beans or broccoli if you want to keep it quick and simple. But if you’ve got more time, why not try a veggie casserole for a more filling side dish?
Roasted mushrooms in brown butter sauce

Salads
Salads and London broil go together like apple and pie. They provide an excellent contrast to the beefiness of your steak.
A bowl of leafy greens and your favorite vinaigrette will do the trick if you’re in a rush. But if you’re feeling a little fancy, you can add fruits for an added sweet twist. You can also try whipping up a slaw to switch things up.
Apple walnut salad

Don’t be afraid to go the salad route, especially with this apple walnut salad.
True to its name, the leafy greens are combined with crisp and crunchy ingredients like apples and walnuts. They provide a pleasant textural contrast with your soft and tender London broil. Everything is then united with a sweet-tangy apple vinaigrette that will make your taste buds buzz.

Dinner At The Zoo uses cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers but you can really use any veg you like. The only requirement is that they have to be colorful.
Some of my favorite additions are edamame, radish, and purple cabbage.

Grilled sides
If you’re grilling your London Broil, take advantage of some extra space and whip up these grilled side dishes.
Corn on the cob is always a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, but you can also try grilled shrimp skewers for a fun surf-and-turf meal. You can also throw some pineapple rings on the grill to give your steak a delicious tropical twist.
Corn on the cob
Corn on the cob is a no-brainer side dish when you’ve already got a grill out.
The smokiness really pairs well with the natural sweetness of the corn, making each bite oh-so-tasty. And don’t forget about the fixins!
You can keep it simple and use butter for flavor. Or you can follow Aberdeen’s lead and add a fun Mexican flair by making some chili-lime honey butter.
Top tip: drizzle any leftover butter over your London broil (yum!).

Table For Two Blog uses a medley of zucchini, bell peppers, and onions with the shrimp to add an extra pop of sweetness and color. But you can easily swap them out with your choice of quick-cooking veg like eggplant or even pineapples for a sweeter twist.
Pssst… remember to soak the wood skewers while the shrimp marinate. This prevents them from burning on the grill.
