Culver’s Burger with Chick-Fil-a Sauce

Treat yourself to a good steak without the ketchup. If you need sauce, try A1 or some BBQ. Ketchup on steak is just wrong.

I'd also be curious if his parents in this situation also used ketchup on the steak. We weren't rich at all, but my brother and I put ketchup on steak because we were kids, and kids eat dumb. Their palate is not very nuanced at all.

Even a crappy steak can still taste good if it's cooked well.

I remember doing ketchup with steak as a kid, but I think my parents also cooked them more well done when we were younger, so it probably wasn’t as big of a deal to pair the two.

Nowadays, there’s nothing better than a good medium rare steak

Hidden Valley Ranch in a bottle is ******* gross. But if you do the packets with buttermilk and Mayo it’s good ****.

Ken's Steakhouse has good ranch.

Saying ketchup don’t belong on steak is basically telling everyone you grew up rich and didn’t have to mask the taste of bad steaks with ketchup, the only sauce a lot of people could afford. Welcome to be rich and privileged. Sorry we were just poor.

Generic steak sauce or Bar-B-Q isn't expensive. Neither are salt, pepper and garlic.

You have me intrigued -- if not steak, how do you use A1? I have incorporated it into meatloaf glaze at times, maybe a splash in chili on rare occasions - but nothing else I recall. Just curious.

Fries. Put little on a baked potato. Iowa chops. Fried rice dishes. Burgers.

It’s alright. I usually just go with the stock grocery store brand if I don’t want to do any extra work.

My dad still massacres steaks when he grills. It's brutal.

BBQ is the go to to try to revive it but sometimes desperate times call for desperate ketchup measures.

I think A1 is (literally) souped up Worcestershire. I've used both or each independently, depending on what I had around. A1 gives a little thickness and really bold flavor, and Worcestsershire helps keep it lighter. My old man always makes his Bloodies with Clamato, and while I didn't initially care for it, I've really come around to it in the last year. I use that to lighten the mix, and A1 to beef up that savory thing.

I want to drink Bloodys at your tailgate .

Meatloaf

Try pizza sauce next time instead of ketchup and do it in a crock pot lined with foil. It is amazing.

I don’t like steak sauce. Why is it ok to put steak sauce on it? Because some marketing guy called it steak sauce?

No, it's OK because it's good. Properly cooked steaks don't need it though.

Using Clamato means it's what Canadians call a Caesar. Take off, eh!
