Do you know anyone who does this unholy act?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I wouldn't put these two into the same class of felony.

Sometimes, in decreasing frequency, I'll have steak sauce off to the side, never poured directly over the meat.

 

[Rembrandt]

A1, yeah, but on the side. Ketchup hell no because I'm not friends with animals

 

[TraBuch]

I've literally never heard of putting ketchup on steak.

I use A1 all the time though.

 

[CitizenCope]

If somehow I over cook my medium rare at home I go to the A1.

 

[Double Donut]

You're all missing out, ketchup on steak is fuckin' great. I put ketchup on basically any meat.

My friends call me crazy for this, too.

 

[Rebel Leader]

I have a dab of a1 on each bite.

I like the taste

 

[-tetsuo-]

Because you are

You're insane

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

I put A1 depending on whether it is a good steak or bad steak.


Good steak doesn't need it obviously.

 

[urge26]

A1 is required when either the steak you ordered is shit, or you've fucked yours up on the grill.

well he's right you know.

 

[eternalcircle]

My family has a weird thing with ketchup. My uncle puts ketchup on ham and my grandma puts it on eggs.

I like A1, but my go to is ranch, lol. I'll dip the steak in ranch. I also dip fries in ranch too.

 

[JZA]

I think ketchup or A1 with steak and eggs tastes pretty good for breakfast. Not a dinner steak though.

Also felt a slight pang of guilt, like I should be more grateful that I have had the opportunity in my life to be able to choose to have steak for breakfast or dinner.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

My dad does this. I tell myself to quit being so judgmental, but I can't help it. It bothers me.

 

[Pagusas]

I'll use A1 on cheaper cuts or when I accidentally overbook a steak. If I make it perfect then no, the steak is perfect alone. But I'm not always perfect.

 

[MindofKB]

Stopped putting A1 on steaks when I was 12-13.

A1 on burgers though? DE-LICIOUS.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

OP the difference between A1 and ketchup is the difference between a steak and a hamburger. A1 is completely acceptable on steak.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

The slightest amount of A1 with each bite of steak.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I do this all the time. I did it yesterday.

 

[Santiako]

What is A1? Barbecue sauce?

 

[Corpsepyre]

I do it myself.

 

[Triz]

If its a cheap cut of steak, like a sirloin, I use A-1 all the time.

Rib Eye or New York, get the fuck out of here with that stuff.

 

[RiderKairuu]

When I was younger I'd use A1. I'd only use ketchup on cubed steak. Now I'll just have some horseradish on the side like a goddamn adult.

 

[zeemumu]

A1 maybe, but ketchup? Nah

 

[Intheflorsh]

If it's a cheap steak at like an Outback Steakhouse, then I'll put a little A1 on, sure.

 

[dickroach]

I've literally never heard of putting ketchup on steak.

ya ever had a hamburger? with ketchup on it? it's kinda like that

i used to do it when I was a kid

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Anyone who uses A1 is crazy when the vastly superior Heinz 57 is so readily available.

 

[sssstententen]

I use ketchup on steak sometimes. Not a fan of A1.

If I buy a nice steak and season and cook it myself I'll eat it plain though. Cooked rare/medium rare, and with a nice glass of scotch.

I do like a good Steak sandwhich w/ketchup on a long roll. Cut the steak into thin slices, on the rare side, drizzle some of the juice onto the bread, and a small line of ketchup, with greens on the side. Mmmm.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

I use A1 on my well done steak

 

[Pinko Marx]

What is A1? Barbecue sauce?

It's a steak sauce. According to Wikipedia the English call it brown sauce.
I prefer Heinz Steak Sauce but yeah, I do dip my steak in it sometimes.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

My nieces..when they were 5..

 

[Nephtes]

A1 on the side... Never on top.
And I only use A1 after around half the steak has been consumed and is no longer piping hot.

And rare or medium rare.
My steak should be bloody and mooing.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

A1 is amazing on a ton of proteins. Love that stuff.

 

[Stormhammer]

i used to use ketchup on steak as a kid because i had to have my steak super well done. used a1 a lot as well. i still use a1 on burgers n' such sometimes.

 

[jobrro]

Yes. But they also like it well done so it's already ruined.

 

[Tagyhag]

My white friends.

It's steak sauce though, have yet to meet anyone who uses ketchup thankfully.

 

[Darryl M R]

Liberal elites smh

 

[Stallion Dan]

If I suspect someone watching me is a wannabe steak snob I would.

 

[bebop242]

This. I'm also triggered if the waiter/waitress asks if I want A1 sauce. Usually means I'll need it.

 

[Minus_Me]

I'll use A1 on occasion if I order steak and eggs at a breafast place, but wouldn't think about using it on a dry aged 60$ steak.

 

[CarbonFire]

I'll use A1 on cheaper cuts or when I accidentally overcook a steak. If I make it perfect then no, the steak is perfect alone. But I'm not always perfect.

Ding Ding Ding.

Ketchup on a Steak though......

 

[Therin]

I like ketchup on my steak. But I also like my spaghetti to be sweet, so I'm probably just messed up

 

[Pinko Marx]

I can kinda understand the reluctance against using steak sauce but...If you have a good steak, and you use a sauce on it that you like (and is made to go with it), doesn't that make the meal BETTER?

 

[TraBuch]

I'll use A1 on occasion if I order steak and eggs at a breafast place, but wouldn't think about using it on a dry aged 60$ steak.

Luckily, I would never think about buying a dry aged $60 steak so I can use A1 to my heart's content.

 

[ephemeral garbage]

Question for folks in this thread - I honestly don't get the appeal of calling someone insane for their condiment choices. Is it just like a fun harmless thing to let off steam? Or are you genuinely threatened that people eat differently than you? Sorry in advance if this is a "explaining a joke spoils it" type situation.

 

[jstevenson]

look, A1 is perfectly fine for bad steak, or a steak you accidentally over cook a bit or whatever.

Ketchup is never ok.

and A1 in a nice steakhouse is never ok.

I won't name the guilty to protect them

 

[Stormthehouse]

I used to put A1 on the side for steak and pork chops but I don't think i've done it since high school.

A1 on burgers is pretty good though.
Ketchup is always paired with mustard, never alone.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

What kind of sick person puts ketchup on a steak?

That's like putting ketchup on a hot dog.

 

[righthandmouse]

ewwwww. I spray it with pepper spray, then munch.
