Some good sides for Ribeye Steak Night [Moved from General Topics board]

I am so excited to have my picky father over for dinner because I still wow him with my meals. This Friday I will be tackling making Ribeye for the first time. Why ribeye? Because I've been told I can't screw it up too bad being a virgin cook to steak. I normally make latin influence dishes because I am puerto rican. Friday I would love to make some awesome sides with my lovely Ribeyes. Any suggestions? So far all I have come up with on my own is a nice Spinach salad with a good Balsalmic vinegarette sauce and some Garlic bread. I love to make rice but am not sure what a good rice to go with that is. I think the baked potato idea is a little over played. Sooo.... any great suggestions? What would you like?
