"Other" steak sauces

I love steak. I love meat, in general. Sauce does not touch my meat. I don't even like ketchup or mustard on a burger. YUCK!
 

The one and only original: HP Sauce. It's the only brown sauce worth using. A-1 is no competition at all.

However, I really don't use "steak sauce". Due to my Irish upbringing, I call it brown sauce, and I put it on all kinds of things, but not steak, because good steak needs no condiments, and I don't waste my money on bad steak. (If I buy cheaper cuts of beef, I slow-cook them in a liquid.)

Brown sauce is especially good with smoked pork products, such as sausage and bacon. It's also really great on pan-fried potatoes. For those reasons, brown sauce is a breakfast staple in Ireland and the UK.

BTW, what you might call the "official sandwich" of the north of England is the bacon buttie, which consists of a soft roll, lean bacon (what Americans think of as Canadian Bacon), and lashings of HP. Yummy. (Fattening, of course, but worth the occasional splurge.)

YES! The first thing I thought of was HP sauce. I agree, especially yummy on bacon butties.
 
I don't like steak sauce at all. If you prepare it well, you don't need to hide what you've done wrong.
 
I like mushrooms on my steak that are cooked in a red wine sauce. I don't like anything else on it really.
 
Good butter (Kerrygold or better), blue cheese butter, sautéed mushrooms/onions, pan sauce from drippings.
I don't buy commercially made sauces too often. I even make my own mayo and ketchup because I'm tired of soy and HFCS being in everything.
DH likes to use A-1 in burgers, but I don't think it's necessary.
 
Another big fan of HP Sauce- I won't have A1 or Heinz in my house. But we usually use it for sausages, eggs, or in other dishes.

I prefer my steaks nekkid. If it is bad enough to need a sauce, it either goes back to the kitchen if we're dining out, or DH gets the side-eye.:lmao:
I do enjoy mushrooms sauteed in butter and garlic on my steaks occasionally.
 
A combination of sauteed onions, mushrooms, garlic, peppers - one, two three or all four.

Butter, garlic, salt and pepper

Horseradish with roast beef or prime rib

I don't use sauces in the bottle. They seem to take away from the taste of the steak. Sometimes I add them in a meatloaf or other type of recipe - but their taste is too strong for plain meat.
 
We too just use butter most of the time - I typically mash up some garlic, paprika, and a touch of cayenne in the butter, then refrigerate it to firm it back up before serving.
 
Heinz mixed with horseradish (and not the diluted stuff, just ground horseradish) used to be my go to. I still like it, but we found some recently that is made of walla walla sweet onions and has a good amount of peppercorns blended in that we REALY enjoy. we use either as dipping sauces because we usually preseason with cabella's mountain man bourbon seasoning:thumbsup2:thumbsup2
 
I like A1 but have really come to LOVE Pickapeppa sauce!! I also love gorgonzola cheese on my steak when I want a little something extra.
 
We don't normally use sauces but just for fun one year when visiting the in-laws, I asked for ketchup because there was none on the table and they'd overcooked the steaks so they needed something.

The look of horror on my FILs face was great. :rotfl:
 
Country Bobs is the first thing that came to mind for me too. It might be limited to a certain geographical area, I dunno. I think the headquarters is in Illinois.

That's my brother-in-law's favorite, though he usually uses it on pork steaks. I prefer Maull's for pork steaks :)
