POLL: When you eat steak, do you put anything on it?

[mpitts]

Not including seasonings during preparation, do you add anything to your steak?

This includes:

A-1
mushrooms
bleu cheese
etc

A1. Is there anything else?

Oh.. well, sometimes onions.

<U>I just put ketchup on it</U> (Of course, when I'm cooking it, I cover it in tonnes of steak seasoning and italian salad dressing)

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Depends on the steak and the seasonings

 

[Looney]

umm i never knew onions and mushrooms are considered part of the seasoning. I just put salt and pepper (and sometimes New York Steak Seasoning) on the steaks, then cook the onions and mushrooms seperately.

 

[Fausto]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If I'm feeling sassy, I'll whip up a red wine/mushroom reduction to go on the steaks. This is kinda time-consuming so I won't always do it tho.

 

[BAMAVOO]

Depends on how good the steak is. Some don't need anything, while others need a good coating of A-1!

 

[amnesiac]

If I'm cooking the steak for myself, I just give it a salt rub and then cover it with oil and pepper, then grill it.

If it's "Top shelf" steak, i.e. Ruth's chris or some other good steakhouse, I generally leave it alone. Other steaks I coat liberally with A-1.

Agreed...need another poll option.

If a steak is properly prepared, it requires nothing be added at the table.

Best steak I've ever tasted? Harry Caray's in Chicago!

But, I've had tough, tasteless steak that had to be buried in A-1 or Ketchup in order to be swallowed

So by "sassy" you mean "Getting In Touch with your Inner Gay French Chef"?

Stop ruining good meat.

Always depends on the type of steak. T-bone, yes Filet, no

 

[teddymines]

Just a little salt, unless it is marinated in which case nothing.

 

[Spook]

When I was young i loved to smother a steak in Ketchup... Now, my more refined tastes, I love a steak plain, or with some good Merlot, or Burgandy.

 

[Krye]

If you have to add stuff to it after you cook it then it's not a good steak.

It's my meat, I'll do what I please with it dammit!









That didn't sound good, did it?

 

[acidvoodoo]

just a tad of salt

 

[AnMig]

Depends on the kind.

I love the Peter Luger Steak sauce but cant find it anywhere since I moved from New York.

If its a really bad steak I cover it up with a mixture of Ketchup and A-1 sauce.



Most of the time its just salt and pepper.

 

[Looney]

Ok, i've never used A-1 or any steak sauce... but do you use it to marinate or use it to dip?

 

[Anubis]

sometimes. it depends. Sometimes I marinate with A-1. sometimes i just put it on and dip. lots of times ill have onions and mushrooms. best is to cook it with some grill seasoning. use whatever you like. add a tiny bit of A-1 to each side whill grilling. and eat it with Carrots, potatoes and Onions that you cook in Tinfoil on teh grill also. toss these 3 all together with some seasoning. I prefer janes. add some butter and cook for 45 min. flip it every now and then. soooooo gooooood

Cook a steak for 45 minutes?!?!?! Blasphemy! The most I put on my steaks is some sauteed mushrooms.

 

[Electric Amish]

I use the following mixture when I have all the ingredients...

Equal parts ketchup and Heinz 57....then just a couple of drops of A-1.

Stop ruining good meat.

Mine's already cooked medium-well to well done, so I can't hurt it by putting stuff on it (so I've been told.....constantly).

amish

 

[YellowRose]

a little salt and some grilled mushrooms on the side.
Think I'll take one out and have it for lunch. I like my steaks medium raw.
