Now I'm curious what a complete dish is in your opinion. Like there are only protein (meat, soy, bean) and carbs (potatoes, pasta, rice, corn, bread) and oil / fat that have calories. Like what else could you add to a steak? A spoonful of lard?

    I think their opinion is that fries/salad is a lazy choice of sides to complete a meal. A traditional meal is usually a combination of protein, starch, and veg. In that regard, steak+fries+salad is a "meal", but it's definitely low-effort and designed to make people not hungry as cheaply as possible.

    Good restaurants will create thoughtful sides that truly add to the dish, so it doesn't feel like you're eating "steak and some other shit".

    Complete dishes are not that difficult, take a good spaghetti bolognese, it has everything and the flavours are combined and compliment each other.

    I do agree that the whole ‘steak for dinner’ is a bit hard to make a good ‘complete dish’ from. Personally I’d prefer something like noodles with steak/beef cuts or something like that. You can eat an entire steak with nothing else and call it dinner. But do that everyday and you’ll pretty soon get a deficit of a lot of nutrients.
