The output of the program is:

The output of the program is:
"The steak is served with baked potato"
To explain how we get this answer, let's break down the program step by step:
1. First, we define a dictionary called sideItems with three key-value pairs:
- "steak" : "baked potato"
- "enchiladas" : "rice and beans"
- "poke bowl" : "macaroni salad"
2. Then, we use the `print()` function to display a string: "The steak is served with".
3. We use the `sideItems.get("steak")` method to retrieve the value associated with the key "steak" from the `sideItems` dictionary. In this case, the value is "baked potato".
4. The `get()` method returns the value ("baked potato"), which is then concatenated with the string in the `print()` function.
Therefore, the output of the program is "The steak is served with baked potato".
