In no way shape or form is A1 sauce comparable to the best sauce on the planet, HP, complete with her Majesty's seal of approval.



I whole heartedly agree. I put the house on everything from ham sandwiches to a good steak.

Next time im in cowtown steaks on me Gman

I am with the "no sauce" is the best  guys.

For a good steak, all I add is some season salt and toss it on the grill.

Now for the Blasphemy.

Tonight I cooked up a couple fine Rib Eyes on the grill.  Brought them in, the wife used ketchup on hers.  I still shudder thinking about it.  She was raised all wrong and I have been trying to straighten her out ever since I married her.  :D

If a steak isn't good enough to eat without a sauce to hide the flavor, don't eat it!

My children put catsup on everything, even steak.

I find that the catsup on my daughter's steak doesn't affect the taste of mine at all.

Mushrooms and onions in white wine and butter with garlic salt.  Sauted and placed on top.

Take melted butter and bourbon, pour over the steak and leave in the fridge for a few hours before cooking.  BTW, bring a lot of water with you when you grill it.  This makes big fire.  :)

I'll agree that a good steak naked is just fine but one crowd pleaser I have used for a while is a mushroom ragout that goes like this..


Sear up the steaks and let them rest.  Add in some olive oil and butter and toss in a bunch of mushrooms sliced thin.  Let them brown up a touch and then add chicken broth, port wine, a touch of majoram and let it reduce down 50 percent.  Add cream to smooth it all out and you have a fine sauce that does not smother even the best of steaks.   I'll give more specific directions for those who would like to try it .

I am going to go out on the dangerous limb here and point out that beefsteak around the world is not always the same.

What some folks think of as a "good steak" would be stew meat in other places.

So, I guess sometimes there is a place for "steak sauce".

The Brits invented my favorite; Lea & Perrys Worcestershire sauce.

Even though a good steak doen't need anything really, I LOVE this stuff drenched all over my steaks. I grill steaks about every weekend when I'm not travelling. yummy!
