There was a spoonful of mashed potatoes and a few pieces of asparagus. The steak was large but a bit on the fatty side. I left 1/4th of it as it was pure fat. However it was well done, which unfortunately is not the way I like it. I prefer mine pink from the middle, but regardless the steak was not leathery dry like so many other airline meals, it was also smothered in only pepper making it a bit dry. The mushroom red wine sauce printed on the menu failed to appear with no reason given.
