Kill yourself.

If it's a worthy piece of meat, 'Steak Sauce' is an insult to the cow.

BBQ Sauce OTOH, is something else again. I kinda like the Roadhouse hot & spicy.

Cheers!

Granted. Now before he commits suicide, I'm thinking we can be friends and at least share some side orders with dippin sauce, and THEN discuss BBQ.

Hangtime is correct. Steak Sauce should never come near a decent steak. But not everyone can be a good cook like I am.

Cream + Roquefort

Nothing more needed or it will kill the meat.

Commercial steak sauces and many BBQ sauces are loaded with sugar, which dulls the taste buds and makes the stuff underneath taste "good".
Treating a steak depends a lot on the particular steak: the cut, the marbling, the flavors of the specific animal. While I do at times use elaborate marinades, and even some fancy sauces, I strongly recommend that you start simple. A good steak on its own should be pretty damn good. The cook's interventions are more on the lines of "tweaking" than "smothering" (unless it is truly a crappy cut of meat): when you add flavors, you want to work in different registers than the beef (harmonizing rather than duplicating), and at a volume below that of the beef itself. The star is the meat, not the sauce. When a person -- man or woman -- dresses elegantly, what you see is the best side of the person's physical appearance, not the defects or the brand of clothing; it's a matter of steak esthetics whether you want to show off the gamier parts of the meat, or delightfully conceal them, allowing the diner a more profound dialog with the spirit of meat.

That said, a steak with roquefort sauce and frites is pretty funkin' tasty.

Now BBQ sauce is different. I make my own, and there are many different schools.

What you need to start with are some ribs; not steak, but ribs. Get a grill started using indirect heat (put an aluminum pan in the middle, meat over the pan, lid on... low temperature), baste and slow cook for hours, till the meat falls off the bone.
That can be enjoyed with BBQ sauce. Go for the ones that have less honey/sugar in it.

Dinger, are you the guy in AH that has some Chef, or cooking classes/experience going on? I ask because my wife wants to take some classes (rocking!) and any info would be cool.

Thanks in advance.

Stubb's is great.
A1 too.

Tarmac · « **Reply #12 on:** May 02, 2005, 10:16:21 AM »

A1 is good on steaks - it can turn an ok steak into a good steak. But it'll also turn a great steak into one that's just good. Basically, if the steak is too tough, put A1 on it and it will be pretty good.

A1 is excellent on/in hamburgers, though. I'd recommend buying it just for that.

Jack Daniels and KC Masterpiece are great for a quick chicken meal, but if you're going to be making ribs there's so much expertise here that it only makes sense to use someone's recipe.

A1 on a burger is great

bull's eye ain't bad on chicken breast

Ghost, we'll all help you as best we can.

First of all, what are you going to cook on?

As everyone said, if you have a high-quality steak you just need a grill with a hot fire under it and a short cooking time. You'll need little if any seasoning on a really good piece of meat, but we can give you some tips on marinades for a different flavor.

As for BBQ, it's a fun hobby with excellent tasty results. We can give you lots of recipes and tips and the web is full of good information.

Indirect heat will be best. You can even do meats in the oven with BBQ sauce but that won't really be BBQ.

We'll all be glad to help but let's start with what equipment you will be using.

As for those sauces, I'd try

JACK DANIELS BBQ SAUCE - Original No. 7 Recipe_

KC MASTERPIECE BBQ SAUCE - Premium Original_

STUBB'S BBQ SAUCE - Spicy & Classic & Moppin
