I used to roll my eyes when people would say “Steak sauce ruins steak”… then actually learned how to grill a good steak and I finally understood. Now I refuse steak sauce.

    I still do some a1 if im in the mood for tang. But yea, a great steak needs nothing.

    Then again I dip a perfect steak in ketchup, childhood leather memories and all.

    Mostly its just salt pepper and a garlic beef bullion butter after cook. Little msg on the brining period.

    It’s even better if you don’t burn the everloving piss out of it.

    I still eat this but yeah cooked a little too long, anything past medium is too much. I love a hot steak all the way through, I’ve gotten a lot better over time, you will too.

  4. I can understand slathering it with A1, ketchup, or mayonnaise being a problem, but horseradish, some high-grade mustard, chimichurri, or an amazing pan sauce would be amazing on it!

    At the end of the day, the best steak is the cut you like prepared the way you enjoy. If someone wants to boil an A5 waygu filet mignon hard in diet coke and mint, then top it with grape jelly and parsley, then let them live their life.

    Over cooked, so now it needs steak sauce.

    You still don’t know how to grill a good steak though.

    Is the “good steak” in the room with us now?

    Just kidding. If you like your steak medium well or well done, that’s up to you.

    My steak sauce is the juices and butter that are left behind

    When you overcook your steak, it is acceptable to put steak sauce on it. Once it’s ruined you can’t re-ruin it.

  10. I’m 55, raised my own beef for almost a decade and am a certified steak snob

    I will fuck some A1 sauce UP.

    I generally agree but I will say, that steak could use some sauce.

    Do you refuse steak sauce now because you’ve learned how to ruin a steak without it?

    I was here for the first two pics… smh at the third.

    You typed this and over cooked that thing?

  15. NYerInTex

    You know what REALLY ruins a steak?

    Over cooking the fuck out of it.

    Even sauce couldn’t save this steak.

    I’ll be honest. If a steak looks overcooked, I would welcome sauce because that looks pretty dry.

  17. I too enjoy beef jerky. 😋

    Now, show us your steak! 🤩
