Is A-1 steak sauce the greatest condiment ever?

[BYU 14]

I use this stuff on everything and today discovered it even goes well with Tuna. Anyone else agree or am I just sick?

[albionmoonlight]

Gotta go with mustard.

[rowech]

Gotta go with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

[spleen1015]

Gotta go with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

This.

[ShaneTheMaster]

Tabasco

[Captain2711]

Salsa, not seltzer.

[sabotai]

The answer to the thread title is "Yes, it is."

[RainMaker]

Yes.

[cuervo72]

Mayo.

[Coffee Warlord]

A-1 Bold and Spicy.

[MikeVic]

Gotta go with Trojans.

[digamma]

Gotta go with mustard.

Brown or yellow?

[Big Fo]

No. It's not even good.

[Scoobz0202]

I have a gallon in the garage fridge.

Mmmm..

That is all.

While I may not have a gallon of this, I would have to give a

+1.


Frank's Red Hot is KING

This is a close second for me......

Use this to baste grilled wings.....Deeeeelicious!!!

[Schmidty]

Gotta go with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

Sweet Baby Baby Ray's High Fructose Corn Syrup Sauce?

No.

BBQ sauce should never have that crap. The only non-local , non-made-by-me sauce I'll buy is Stubbs.

The best local stuff is this: http://www.weathers1897.com - I've had a lot of sauce, and made a lot of my own, but that stuff is awesome.

[Doug5984]

Gotta go with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce.

Ahh sweet baby ray.

Also Tabasco, and Tony's make just about anything better (although really slap ya mamma is better than Tony's but probably can't find it outside of south louisiana - and really those are seasonings i guess)

[albionmoonlight]

Brown or yellow?

Classic yellow mustard.

[Passacaglia]

Ranch

If dressing is included in this, Hidden Valley's Spicy Ranch is great stuff.

I'm with you Schmidty, I can't eat the high fructose stuff. They have such an unnatural thick texture for the most part, and the taste isn't as good. BBQ sauce should be a fairly easy natural thing, and the first ingredient (or the second, third, ect) shouldn't be manufactured sweet syrup. The good news is there are a lot more regional and national BBQ sauces that don't use the stuff now.

Amen to that. My wife bought some off brand crap that I threw in the trash can.

[Logan]

Peter Luger's Steak Sauce is much better and I think is available in many grocery stores.

Frank's is great for the more widely available hot sauces. I can't stand Tabasco...it has absolutely no flavor in my opinion.

And "salsa, not seltzer" is definitely the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the title.

[Marc Vaughan]

Love A1 myself BUT Branston Pickle rocks and HP Brown Sauce is essential to my well being also ... oh and proper English mustard ....

[lordscarlet]

No. It's not even good.

This.

And my choice would be honey mustard, but that can vary greatly depending on the brand.

[Easy Mac]

This.

Thissed.

The only condiment I ever use is salt, and that is rare.

Winner.

I was about to give you shit for considering salt a condiment, as it definitely wouldn't qualify under my own definition, but dictionary.com fully disagrees with me so my apologies.

If dressing is included in this, Hidden Valley's Spicy Ranch is great stuff.

And if we are extending to that, similarly the spicy ranch dressing that comes with Outback Cheese Fries is the greatest thing ever, as I've attested to on this board before.

I can get behind you first statement, but not the second.

I wanted to try that stuff, but no f*cking way am I going to pay $11.50 to have them ship it to me.

[stevew]

I used to use A1 quite a bit. Then I learned how to cook.

I just make a spice mix of salt/pepper/granulated garlic and use that on almost all of my meats. Works great.

[Dodgerchick]

Sriracha

[Lathum]

I'm with the mustard group.

I have never actually had A-1

[Schmidty]

Dang, that sucks. I can imagine it would be around that much though, since I sent something to you before. Maybe you'll get another present!!!!

As much of a crack addict fan I am of A-1, this is vastly true. Any good steak needs nothing on it. I have been known to use it on burgers, but I've been using Jack Daniel's Master Blend BBQ sauce and that's amazing to me on a properly done burger.

I reject that present.

[ColtCrazy]

I like several (in no particular order):

A1
Sweet Baby Ray's Sandwich Spread (horseradish sauce that's great on tons of things)
Famous Dave's BBQ sauce
Spice Mustard
HP Brown Sauce
Tiger Sauce
And almost any sauce Nando's has.

[path12]

A-1
Sriracha
Mustard (yellow or brown spicy)

And you're set.

[Tigercat]

Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
Banana Ketchup (Beats me what my deal is with Asian condiments.)
Crystal Hot Sauce Extra Hot (regular crystal isn't spicy enough)
Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce

[k0ruptr]

Sriracha

Thread Winner, hands down. I use it everyday, and it is amazing.

[B & B]

Hunt's ketchup

Thats pretty much straight up trolling, and I approve. (of the troll, not ketchup, in general)

[stevew]

Hunt's ketchup
Hunts? What the fuck is wrong with you.

Heinz ftw.

[terpkristin]

Never had A1 steak sauce. If anything goes on the steak for me, it's a jus and maybe some butter. And fresh pepper.

I have to third or fourth or millionth the Frank's Red Hot, I use it often on a myriad of things.

I'm a big fan of Kosciusko Mustard (404 - Document Not Found (http://www.amazon.com/Plochmans-Kosciusko-Mustard-9-Ounce-Spoonable/dp/B000KFY5RO)).

Also, though I'm not usually too into honey mustard, if you ever have a chance to go to Bobby's Burger Palace (a burger joint by Bobby Flay, there are a few in the northeast...I went to the one in Paramus, twice), get the sweet potato fries with the horseradish honey mustard. FREAKING tasty.

[MizzouRah]

Brooks ftw

[MalcPow]

I'll back up the A-1. All you snobs and hippies can shove off. :)

[Mustang]

My father-in-law gets me a 4 pack for Christmas of hot sauce.. unfortunately, it ain't Franks. It is more like 3 bottles of red colored watered with a Green colored one thrown in for good measure.

I'm not a A-1 fan.. sometimes once a year I might put it on hamburgers (What is hamburger, chopped ham?) but at most I'll top it with melted Bleu Cheese.

[Shkspr]

Our family steak sauce for years has always been made from a reduction of butter, brown mustard, garlic, and red wine. Lately I have been eating less red meat, so I use it to dress steamed vegetables as well.

[stevew]

The ingredients for A1 are gross. Raisin paste? Orange juice? you can keep that shit.

[RainMaker]

Is there a condiment equivelant to buffalo sauce?

[Karlifornia]

A-1 is awesome, and A-1 Bold & Spicy is awesomer.

You know what other shit is good? That chili sauce you dollop on with a spoon at Vietnamese noodle shops.

[Chief Rum]

I am pretty basic. Gimme mustard (classic yellow) and a whole helping of sodium chloride, and I'm just fine.

That said, I am pretty stunned Tapatia has not been mentioned to this point. While it's not my cup of tea, I know way too many people who swear by the stuff for this to be its first mention in this thread.

[Chief Rum]

I don't think that's the same as Sriracha, but I have a friend who regularly frequents Pho restaurants, and he pretty much won't sit down without a bottle of Sriracha.

THANK you! I mean Raisin paste sounds like something you punish kids for eating in kindergarten.

[larrymcg421]

If you need A-1 sauce, then send the steak back.

Were they Mexican? Just curious cuz I know lots of Mexicans that loved it. We'd buy the big 'ol bottles, like this one:

http://www.mesamexicanfoods.com/market/images/uploads/Tapatio32.jpg

[Karlifornia]

Tapatio is weeeeak. It bores me. I prefer hot sauces that take only a few drops. This is what I roll with nowadays. You can get it at any Mexican grocery store:

Some of them, yeah, but there's a fair sprinkling of white and Asian friends who hold a similar devotion. ;)

[thesloppy]

I loves me some Franks. Tapatio is pretty good, and Tabasco is weak-ass vinegar that offends my sensibilities.

[MizzouRah]

For Mustard.. Weber's horseradish mustard from buffalo, NY is da bomb!

[jeff061]

I just discovered this. A take off on the classic Inner Beauty.

http://jeffreygrillo.org/images/inner-bhutty.jpg (http://jeffreygrillo.org/images/inner-bhutty.jpg)

It's awesome. While it doesn't have the kick of Dave's Total Insanity(my old standby), it tastes awesome and probably is still plenty strong enough to warrant a warning for the lightweights ;).

[Subby]

Colman's English Mustard, yo.

[Ben E Lou]

A1????? Seriously???????

Someone said it well already. The best use for that stuff on steak is to cover up the lack of taste in one that has been cooked too much. A *good* steak---no, an *average* steak--doesn't need it.

[Surtt]

Hunts? What the fuck is wrong with you.

Heinz ftw.

I stand by me original post.
I like Hunts better.

And yes...this is great stuff that a friend of mine turned me onto (he is mexican). Iuse it for eveything from grilled fish, to chili dogs, to cheeses dip additive, to...well, lots of things I guess.

Not the hottest stuff around, but I dont really eat anything just because its hot. Just really flavorful.

A girl I work with keeps one bottle in her desk and one in the lunchroom cabinet and puts it on everything. I used it on some veggies the other day and it even tastes good on broccoli :)

[Lathum]

I like the sauces they bring you at PF Changs.

[boberot]

I know I went all in on Frank's earlier, but Tapatio is a very close second. Love that shit.

[bbgunn]

Love me some HP Brown Sauce! I bought a few bottles when I visited England last year, and I'm all set.

[Marc Vaughan]

(looks embaressed)
Can't believe I forgot to give kudo's to Lea & Perrins worcester sauce .... its an essential ingredient in welsh rarebit (poor mans version*) and as such should be included in any such list.

*You get some real 'posh' versions of it these days - mines akin to the original idea, quite easy meal and tastes great - no posh parsely on top of it ;)

[Danny]

Welsh Rarebit looks good. And parsely should not be put on top of anything

[Danny]

While I have A-1 in the fridge, it's really only for bad meat and very rarely used.

Some much better condiments have been posted. The ones that I keep in my fridge and use when appropriate:
Frank's Red Hot
Dijon Mustard
Spicy Brown Mustard
Horseradish Sauce
Ranch
Mayo
Ketchup
Sweet Baby Ray's
Tempura Sauce
Tapatio

But the winner is....

Middle Eastern Garlic Sauce. And this is not bought in any store. For those familiar, it's similar to the garlic sauce at Zankou Chicken, but better and more garlicky (it's made by Sister in law's soon to be husband, they own a restaurant).

This stuff is awesome, and I'll dip just about anything I can in there, chicken, turkey, beef, bread, vegetables. Only eat it on the weekend though.

[Danny]

Oh and make sure if you're married that your spouse eats it at the same time you do.

[BYU 14]

Just discovered this a few days ago, may be the best Teriaki sauce I have ever tasted.....jumped right into my top 5 immediately.
