I've got to be honest -- I am NOT a big fan of steak sauces.
If a steak is good it doesn't need any sauce -- just some garlic butter and a dusting of salt is best. Anything else -- even my favorite BBQ sauce -- just covers up the real taste.
If the steak isn't good -- you shouldn't be eating it in the first place. Life is too short.
And, finally, I really have never found anything else that steak sauce tastes good on. Or at least tastes better than anything else. Not wings or ribs or fish or -- anything.
So to my all steak sauces are just about useless.
However, I know some people love them. I have a friend, Valerie, who will not eat steak without it. We go into a nice restaurant, get a thick, juicy steak and everytime she asks for A1. I want to scream.
But what can you do?
