Do you know anyone who puts ketchup or A1 on a steak?

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.
Do you honestly think people are threatened by the use of sauces on steak? I think you've answered your own question here.
 
People think I'm crazy when I say I want to taste the flavor of the meat. So yes, I know a ton of people who drench their foods with sauces. I'll do that with chicken, and often pork, but with steak I'll do salt and pepper, maaaybe a dry rub and that's it. And if it's top shelf stuff I don't put anything on it.

I've found even the worst steak still has some good flavor.
 
I used to put A1 on london broil when I was growing up, since that was the only steak we got and I didn't especially love the flavor of the meat itself

Now that I'm older and usually choose better cuts, never.

yes, kids.

what's A1 though?

steak sauce. basically worcestershire sauce
 
Ketchup on steak is up there with standing to wipe, drinking the warm chunky milk remaining after a bowl of cereal, and pushing the lock button on your key fob for locking your vehicle 30 FUCKING TIMES AS YOU WALK AWAY - YOU CAN HEAR IT BEEPING CAN'T YOU?!
 
I won't eat steak without A1.

I just don't like the way steak tastes. I don't care if you put butter or garlic or pepper or whatever on it.
 
Back when I was in middle school early high school, I used to drench steak in A1 steak sauce.

Now that ive grown and learned to appreciate quality steak better, its just salt pepper after cooking with some aromatics like rosemary.
 
steak sauce. basically worcestershire sauce

oh okay, thanks.
why did he single this one out though?

i used to be petty about stuff like this but i don't care anymore what people eat or enjoy.
just don't expect me to provide or cook it this way for you.
 
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.

Gross. I bet you put ketchup on hot dogs too you savage.

I'll use A1 sometimes but now that I know how to season and cook a steak I don't do this as much.
 
I use ketchup with everything. Steak, sausage, pizza, pasta, rice and any meat or potato product you can think of.

Tastes good man.
 
I put ketchup on steak when I was a kid, but that's due to my mom over cooking the shit out of it.

Now that I know how to cook steak, I don't.
 
Never heard of ketchup on a steak. I stopped using A1 myself a long time ago, but I wouldn't begrudge someone for doing that. However, if you absolutely must have sauce for your steak, Heinz 57 is the way to go.
 
A steak has to be god awful and way over cooked for me to put A1 on it. I would have to starving and its a last resort.
 
I heard Jeff Gerstmann admit to putting ketchup on a steak on the Giant Bombcast. I unsubscribed after I finished throwing up.

I didn't unsubscribe and I don't really get the obsession with what other people want to eat.
 
A friend of mine puts A1 sauce anywhere you would normally find ketchup but that's because he says he's allergic to tomatoes. Carries a1 sauce everywhere.
 
No, but I put HP Sauce on it sometimes.

I put A1 on steak all of the time if its something I made at home, which is usually low quality strip steak. I sous vide it rare though.
 
I use to apply A1 sauce to my steaks, but that was when my parents cooked all the flavor out of them/well done.
 
I wouldn't put A1 on a good steak, but sometimes I like a good crappy steak from a diner/truck stop type of place with a side of fries. That gets A1.
 
Do you honestly think people are threatened by the use of sauces on steak? I think you've answered your own question here.

If I was certain one way or the other, I wouldn't have asked. If you'd asked me two years ago if I honestly thought people with anime avatars shitposting that they wanted to kill all the Jews were serious, I would've said no. Glad to know someone else besides me thinks it's pretty laughable though.
 
If someone fucked up cooking the steak into being well done but I have to eat it to be polite (family or neighborhood cookout), then yes I will.
