Artista 460 Posted June 18, 2016 A good steak is best without sauce to saviour the meat and it's own juice. But a shitty cheap one, then any sauce would be better.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That glaze totally made the steak I love steak too much to risk it. If I can't have sauce on the side to try first, it's a no go---unless who I'm with orders it then I'll try it!

wiffleball 4,789 Posted June 18, 2016 Peterlugers cracks me up. They go to all the trouble to make a homemade steak sauce. And then they strongly advise you not to try it on their steak. Rather, you're supposed to order their thick cut bacon and tomato salad And use the steak sauce on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,789 Posted June 18, 2016 Closest thing to a sauce that I would like to put on a steak Is chimichurri sauce. That goes really well on Some of the more difficult Cuts Like a skirt steak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruzer 1,995 Posted June 18, 2016 I personally prefer a compound butter. But if a lesser cut, don't mind Hienz 57. But nobody who drowns their bbq in sauce (kc people) should ever make fun of anyone who uses steak sauce, even on prime cuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,789 Posted June 18, 2016 Since it has been mentioned, I don't understand steak Au Poivre And or steak with peppercorns In the sauce. Are you supposed to eat the peppercorns? Because, if so, after you eat the first one, Your palate is completely ruined the rest of the night. After biting into a pepper corn, You could serve me days old Muskrat Roadkill And I couldn't be able to tell the difference. Or, are you supposed to spit them on the floor? In which case, couldn't they just Strain that s*** Before they put it on the steak? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TD Ryan2 316 Posted June 19, 2016 IMO; "sauce" should only be a "marinade" for cuts that are not as tender - you marinate for 24-48 hrs. to break down or tenderize tougher pieces - like London Broil Shoulder Steak, or Flap Meat Sirloin Tips. These cuts are plenty flavorful once they are tenderized. More expensive cuts are already tender enough and don't need any "sauce" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
