Steak Sauce: Yea or Nay

[Lola]

NO NO NO NO. Never.
If there is a steak bad enough to warrent the NEED to use sauce, I will not eat it.

No kind of sauce I have found makes a good steak taste better.

I love A1 on my meat

 

[dougp]

I eat it A1 with my steak and chicken, I like the flavor - I think it's funny people's comments are so negative.

Generally I go with an Eye of Round or Center Cut Top Sirloin (sorry, I can only eat extra lean cuts of meat) and only season with Sea Salt and Garlic Peppercorns - then I cook up some onions in a skillet and cook the steaks in there. Can't wait till I can grill though to get some good mesquite or hickory flavor in it.

Steak sauce has no business on a properly seasoned and well cooked steak.

If it's a rib eye or prime I use sea salt and fresh ground pepper and baste it with a little butter on the grill.

If its a cheaper cut I will use steak seasoning of different varieties.

 

[daveshel]

No way. No way would I put salt on a steak, either.

 

[OutHouse]

Heinz 57 Ketchup is my steak sauce.

 

[nakedfrog]

Sometimes.

And to all the haters, STFU, if you don't like steak sauce, don't eat it.
No need to act like someone just asked you if you like a heaping pile of dog shit on your plate.

A1 is just to pungent and strong for me. its all you can taste when put a dab on a piece of steak.

 

[Journer]

only if it is a crappy steak

I like some A1 sauce on a steak. I don't see why people get so elitist about this. Taste is a personal preference - who cares if someone likes to put sauce on their steak?

Probably the same people who vehemently bash restaurants and headphones/sound systems that aren't $5000. Quite a bit of elitism on here it seems.

I don't care if a person bastardizes their steak, I'm just letting them know that they're bastardizing their steak.

Only if it's a really bad cut of meat over if someone over cooks it!

Crushed red peppers + freshcrushed blackpepper + salt + olive oil

Look, if I want to take a t-bone, cut a hole in it, and bone it, I expect you to keep your damn mouth shut unless you plan on eating it!

You can get a good look at your butcher by sticking your head up his ass...no, wait...

:thumbsup: It's my frigging steak, I'll eat it how I want. I don't get steak snobs, they seem to care way too much how other people eat their food. I happen to like the taste of A1. I use it on steak, I also put it on burgers and some potatoes.

Nah, I'm gonna tell you "that's sacrilegious" and then let you eat your bastardized steak. I'm gonna tell you the same thing if you eat fusion sushi rolls. I'm an elitist food snob and I don't give a fuck.

 

[NatePo717]

Never.

 

[oddyager]

Unless the steak is mediocre.

Then I'd tell you sacred cows make the best hamburger
And no worries, I won't be eating any sushi rolls

No steak sauce for me, I like my meat sitting in a pool of its blood.

Personally, I believe that someone must be buying those round steaks & chuck steaks. Go ahead and grab the A1 for them.
Personally, I'd rather eat PB&J sandwiches on steak night for 2 weeks, and enjoy a really good steak the 3rd week, than have a dry, tough, chewy steak with A1 every week. That said though, a slightly dry, tough, chewy steak with A1 isn't really that bad.

However, as far as "just salt & pepper" - I've discovered a couple of marinades at my local butcher that are outstanding. He's got some sort of vacuum machine that tumbles the steaks in the marinade for a while, helping to tenderize them & add incredible flavor to them at the same time. Darn it, I can't remember the names... black something or other, and some sort of bourbon based marinade. Cheaper cut of beef, but quite lean, and with the marinade (plus better quality from the butcher in the first place) just as tender as rib-eyes from a grocery store. It runs around $5.49 a pound vs. $10 per pound for decent rib-eyes. I almost prefer them over rib-eyes now.
