Steaks: Sauce or No Sauce

[Djgb13 2,339]

If you do prefer sauce what kind? A1? 57? Ketchup?

[Artista 460]

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..

[shotsup 832]

A1 fan. Ketchup ???? The Fvck !!!!

 

Usually no "sauce" but I really like the taste of A1

This was my line of thinking until I had a peppercorn crusted steak with a wine Demi glaze port reduction. 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]

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.

Nothin' sets off the flavor of a steak like some ketchup

My brother eats steak this way, unless we are at a top notch steakhouse.

Oh man. If you need sauce it must be some shitty steak

A1 fan but really butter is a great steak topper. A nice compound garlic butter and salt/pep.

That's a different story. Part of the recipe. Adding a steak sauce (or Heavan forbid ketchup) would truly be a sin.

[IGotWorms 4,057]

No sauce, that's heresy.

 

Not a "sauce" but I will occasionally top with a roasted garlic aioli if more flavor is necessary

[wiffleball 4,789]

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.

[Cruzer 1,995]

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.

[jerryskids 6,688]

Bordelaise, Bearnaise,. Misc. Demis

Agreed, plus Montreal Steak Seasoning.

[kutulu 1,665]

I don't usually use a sauce but do love a1. I marinate my steaks most of the time though

[Artista 460]

Just had one. mmmm mmmm. And I'm not supposed to have much red meat or at all. oops...

I enjoy marinating sirloins - they really take it well and come out great.

If it's burnt, sure

MAYBE ketchup on a well done London Broil. I draw the line there.

[kutulu 1,665]

I prefer to drink the ketchup straight from the bottle

[MDC 7,248]

I have enjoyed steak minus sauce, with a peppercorn sauce, with A-1 etc. but ketchup on a steak is barbaric.

[Cruzer 1,995]

If someone put ketchup on a steak I bought and cooked, I'd tell them to bring their own steak to cook next time.

Is ketchup on a steak a kid/black thing like ketchup on a hot dog ??

The best. On an Argentinian thin cut of meat there is nothing better.

what the fock???!!!!

i am black and never in my entire life have i ever seen anyone put ketchup on a steak!!

(except philly cheese steak sandwich)

it's certainly NOT a black thing. a sincere slap to you sir!!

the only sauce i've ever seen put on steak is A1 and Lea and Perrins on lamb.

[Chronic Husker 85]

Black people have their own way to fock up every steak.

 

Well done.

This is almost worse. Ugh

[wiffleball 4,789]

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?

This.

[Frozenbeernuts 2,223]

I do not use ketchup on anything any more. It is about the worst condiment for any situation. Anything ketchup could go on, BBQ sauce would be better.

[shotsup 832]

Dearest Peenie,

 

I was only asking a question. Now I know.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

I agree with this. BBQ sauce and A-1 render ketchup useless.

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"
