Would you like shoe leather with A1 sauce too? Because it probably will taste and feel the same.

A properly crisped piece of steak is one of gods wonders. To dry the meat just enough to hear it soak up the sauce is like a symphony for the soul. You my friend are missing out, missing out I tell you.

I do prefer Worcestershire sauce to A1 though. Either Worcestershire, or Tabasco. They're both good.

medium or medium rare, depending on the cut I choose. I took my wife to Gibsons Steakhouse a couple of weeks ago, had the filet mignon with hollandaise topping, phenomenal!

diced into little bits before cooking so that each morsel is thoroughly cooked with tasty, crunchy bits on the edges

I am really picky when it comes to my steaks. It all depends on the cut of meat and how it is being prepared.

A good cut of meat on the grill is always cooked rare to medium rare at home, same at a restaurant.

If I am cooking a cheap cut I season it liberally with a dry rub, sear then cook in the oven until it's medium.

There is something about the blood taste in a less than prime cut of meat. It just tastes off to me.
