Sparks Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I say hell no. A good steak should be cooked no further than medium, and a1 or ketchup is not ok. Who's with me? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's with me? Solid. I prefer medium rare. Maybe, just maybe a touch of mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Only thing touching my steaks is basting butter, or herb butter, or sauce béarnaise, or chimichurri. Edited February 2, 2021 by crockett 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPTim Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If the steak is worth eating, just salt and pepper and medium. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy a marinated London broil, again, medium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmet Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I love a good steak and when made right they don’t really need anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampfox762 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I hear ya all...I Hear ya. Was a "Purist" for over 40 years, Still am. I do, however enjoy a bit of more Flavor now days...least once in awhile...after 40 odd years of "Purist". Some Bearnaise sauce and shrooms once in awhile...and an Hour marinating in "Yoshida" sauce. Medium RARE. Period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPTim Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I’ll take the sauces on a hamburger, I use A1 to dip my fries in. I could drink a hodle of hollandaise sauce, straight from the container, if it is made right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I cooked up a cast iron skillet full of moose steaks last night. Left overs tonight wit basil carrots and Yukon Gold potatoes. Might put some A1 on those steaks that are smothered in Shitaka mushrooms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's with me? I like mine a little more cooked, but if it needs the sauce, it is not done correctly. LostWife always had a different opinion. She is an A1 addict. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 A1 is the last in line of Sauces i`d put on a Good Steak. Lea & Perrins makes a great Steak sauce that gets top billing. i do like A1 on a Pork chop or Loin and Smashed Potato s and French fries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Heinz 57 once in awhile either...If it's on the Steak and Eggs at Waffle house. And...My hash browns are "scattered, smothered and covered." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve have had only tried heinz 57 sauce a few times, it must have never took with me. I have been known to drink shots of Worcestershire sauce on occasion. When I lived in Thailand, dinner would often consist of dried squid, shots of Worcestershire sauce, and bread. Yes, I am a culinary heathen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmet Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 While I prefer not to put anything but S&P on a well made steak, you could hook an IV of A1 into my arm and I’d be fine with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinze 57 pre reformulated, if you are old enough to remember was very good. It is hot garbage now days. Another "New and Improved" that wasn't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tadbart Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 GOOD steak just needs salt, pepper, and a little butter. Medium rare and seared. Maybe some blue cheese crumbles on the side. Longhorn and the like need something to make up for not putting enough pepper on it, and a dab of A1 does the job. I'm Facebook friends with an old GTer who is always posting pics of gorgeous steaks from his local butcher shop. The kinda steaks you're almost afraid to cook, because if you screw it up, there goes a Benjamin or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccabeus Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I haven't had A1 since I was a child. I don't even recall what it tastes like. In preparation, salt, pepper, maybe a little garlic powder. Once prepared, a good steak needs nothing else. A second rate steak will get some Worcestershire Sauce to wash it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
