Condiments for steak

I like my steak plain, I like the taste of meat. I don't really understand putting sauces on a good piece of meat - all you taste is the sauce (or ketchup)

My dad always said it was a crime to ruin a good piece of meat with sauces or condiments and he was right--way back when we had decent steak! I remember eating steak as a child, teen, and young adult, how tasty and tender it was. Beef was ever so slightly sweet and very tender. Now I can understand why people put crap on their steaks because the beef is just that--crap. No matter what the cut or where it comes from, beef has become bland and tough. I think it's all the growth hormones, additives, the unnatural and restricted lives the cattle are forced to live, and the cheap grain they are fed that makes the meat so unpalatable. So go ahead with your ketchup--the beef that's made available to us now is more akin to cardboard than real meat. You have to do something to make it bearable.

The only think I ever order with my steak if im out is Au jus - which is French for "with [its own] juice"- I never add any type of sauces like A1 steak sauce or ketchup. I much like your husband believes it ruins the steak :)

I like Ketchup with my steak too, it depends on my mood, sometimes ketchup other times BBQ sauce but I prefer a Hamburger or chicken over steak any day, I'm not a big steak eater maybe course I can never cook it right

italians usually eat steak with extra virgin olive oil, lemon, and salt. this tastes good.

To me a good steak needs no sauce and very little seasoning. Usually if I am at a restaurant, if they ask me if I want sauce, I tell them if I need they can have it back.

I cook my steak with pepper and garlic salt and usually mushrooms. But sometimes I will make a sauce Diane or some pepper gravy. I thought only children put tomato sauce (ketchup) on everything.

i usually just put A-1 steak sauce on it.i get faces about it,but it's MY steak and i like it. ketchup isn't my pick,but if you like it,why not?

Heinz 57 works for me.....I only eat it once a year. I go to my friends in Wisconsin and her husband and I celebrate our birthdays....so she gets us a big New York steak! But that is the only time I eat it...doctors orders!

We add a spice called Back Eddie to steak when my bf grills it on the bbq. I often will add bbq sauce to mine as well when eating it by dipping the steak in it. He says i ruin it doing that!

A good cut of steak doesn't need any condiment added. A good T=bone cooked correctly doesn't need anything. It can have some seasonings put on before it is cooked and then marinated with something to enhance the flavor. Worchesteshire sauce and pepper and put in the frig for awhile before its cooked can add to the flavor. And no condiments are needed when it is served.

That depends on how tasteful the steak was done. if it was a bit bland, I'd probably pour worcestershire over it or just the Knorr seasoning.

Its hard to mess up a steak. I've had it with ranch before and ketchup. I enjoy the taste of steak though so usually I have it just plain. I do enjoy steak sauce because it gives the steak a bit of a bite to it. I haven't had a good steak in quite a few months and I would enjoy one right now grilled, tender, with some good seasonings on it, yummy!!

Pepper and cream sauce is superb with a rare sirloin

I am not a big steak person, but when I do eat steak I eat it plain. Last time I remember eating a steak was a little over a year ago when I went out to a steak place with my old boss for lunch. I don't no much about steak, so he ordered for me. I got a filet I believe. I ate it with just the seasoning that they put on the steak. It was really good.

I like it with steak sauce. Hubby will mix steak sauce with ketchup together and dip it in that sometimes.. he won't eat plain steak sauce.

Hi snuggles, I don't eat steak very often..because I just can't seem to digest it properly...but when I do/did eat it I just cook steak with onions and simmer it down in Worchester sauce...
