baked potatoes
Sauteed onions cooked with red wine
raw vegetables with Bittman sour cream onion dip
Girl Scout cookies
Ice cream

When I have somebody who wants a more done steak, I put theirs on first to get a head start. That way they all can come off at the same time.
And I have a couple friends who I won't serve beef to because of their well-done preference.
