Don't worry about marketing or anything, but in today's marketplace what is this steak sauce:

Good bold flavor for a highly viscous sauce
Has a tangy zip
Calorie count could be better
Price is very competitive
It's fairly consolidated... a lil dab will do ya
Path-breaking recipe
It tends to go well with other things on the plate

What is the first steak sauce to come through your mind when you read that?
 
Blue cheese dressing.



Mmmmmmmm.

Don't y'all just call that BBQ sauce then? I don't like steak sauce anyways…only time A1 should ever be used is if that piece of meat is absolutely horrific.

You are absolutely right. But I can't remember having a "sirloin" that didn't need a little something extra to make it worth the calories.

Umm spend a couple dollars more and get a better cut. Sirloin should just be called fajita meat.
 
I don't have a heathen palate so I always put A1 on the steaks I cook at home (nicer restaurant cuts take peppercorn sauce, obv.). I don't see any reason in denying myself modern delicacies just to cling to some old world eating ritual.

Speaking of peppercorn sauce, I was at La Jolla Groves in the Gateway and my wife ordered a steak. They didn't have A-1 so we asked for peppercorn sauce. The waiter, a guy in his late 40's, brought us some peppercorn ranch. WTF?

If your steak tastes better with A1, then either you suck at grilling it, or you got a ****ty piece of meat.

Mostly the latter, IMO (in combination with the meat just being ****ty quality in general on top of it being a bad cut).

That's what I said. Besides, I enjoy a "****y piece of meat" with A1 as much as I enjoy a "****ty hamburger" with ketchup and mustard. I'm not a cave dweller or other wild animal, and like cheap meat with a little seasoning on/in it.

You know what's really crazy though, sometimes I get in a hurry and take 'em straight from refrigerator to the grill, and don't wait five minutes before cutting into it either.

You steak snobs are missing out on such a good thing. Quick, cheap steak with delicious A1 is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
 
Eh to each their own. I was raised not to use sauces on my steak so now that's what I like. My oldest daughter likes A1 and my youngest ketchup. So I have all three being used when we have steaks.
