A-1 Steak Sauce

If you love A-1, try not to take offense...:D

I think that A-1 steak sauce is the one of the worst inventions known to man.

It takes all of the taste and flavor of an expensive piece of meat, and makes it taste like, a bottle of steak sauce. It does nothing to enhance the flavor of an expensive piece of steak, yet they market its necessity when eating expensive meat.

I hate their commercials, because no one cares that much about some crappy "Steak Sauce". Good steak doesn't need sauce, most steaks don't. No one is going to walk down a Hotel hallway and see an old piece of steak, next to a glop of steak sauce, and eat it out in the hallway. And a question, A-1, why--in that hotel commercial-- is there even a piece of steak and so much sauce left over on that plate? Isn't your whole angle that you just CANT HAVE ENOUGH steak sauce? Your other commercials show guys jumping in their chairs at nice restaurants, just to get that last drop out of your bottle. Why was there so much wasted sauce?

I honestly get annoyed when people use A-1 Steak Sauce. Sometimes I wonder if people who use A-1 have ever had a piece of steak without that unnecessary sauce. With steak--one of the most expensive meals--why hide the flavor with some over flavored sauce?

Steak is one of the only pieces of meat that requires nothing more than some salt and minor seasonings.(the stupid "A-1" on a burger commercial just came on as I am typing this)

As a college student, I don't get to eat steak very often. When I eat steak, I want to eat some steak, not some steak covered in "steak sauce"...especially if I am paying $15 just for the meat.


Am I the only one who feels this way?:main_laugh:

I like A1 but I don't use a lot on my steaks, sometimes none at all just depends on my mood. sometimes I put it on the steak while its cooking and it gives it a awesome flavor and in burgers its good to mix it with the meat before cooking it. I have never had complaints from my steaks & burgers lol

Well I’m on your side. I HATE that stuff. I think it is disgusting. I do use other sauce, but not that A-1 junk.

no steak sauce ever for me, i'll leave the molasses and anchovies for someone else. i don't understand why putting ketchup on a steak is so looked down on but a1 is supposed to be classy or something.

You must be eating some fine porterhouse to be paying $15 for a steak...then again you're probably out at a restaurant. You are totally right though. The finer a slab o' steak the only dipping sauce you need is the pool of juices on the plate. Serve mine up rare please!

I think A1 is kind of gross, like vinegar and spoiled bbq sauce.....:main_yes: If steak is cooked correctly, nothing should need to be added. I would kill someone if they smothered some hot off the grill Rib-Eye @ my place....:p

LOL This thread is great! We had friends over for dinner the other night and grilled tenderloin fillets. I even wrapped everyone else's in real bacon (I don't eat pork). My friend always likes everything really well done but decided at my insistence that she at least try it medium well. She was shocked and upset that I refuse to have A-1 in our house and only ate the seared edges of her fillet! I don't get it, personally. If you eat it good and bloody (like you're supposed to) you don't need sauce! LOL Don't even get me started on ketchup on anything other than a burger.. :main_no: :p

I really like A1 but I can enjoy a nice rare steak just as well without it

I actually like A1 on my eggs and I love it on pork
:shocked:

:main_yes:
I also like fresh lemon on my hash browns

Man-now I'm hungry for breakfast-lol
I'm actually on my way out the door to go to the grocery store
I'm starving!

No the best time to go shopping but there isn't anything here to eat
At least anything that I have a taste for-lol

You and me are on the same page. Last night my grandpa, who gave me shit for putting some great homemade blue cheese on a bite of steak once, eats his steaks well done...

I am like, are you kiding me?

I asked for my steak medium rare and I got medium well.

:(

and ketchup is a whole nother story...

it doesn't belong on hot dogs people! :)

The way I see it, if you have to smother a Steak in A-1 (And dare I say Ketchup YUCK), then you shouldn't be eating Steak. A few seasonings and cook mine Medium - Thank You!
