Steak Sauce
When I was young, there was always steak sauce in my house. My stepfather ate steak all the time, and he always doused it in sauce. This became something I was accustomed to seeing, and this was the way I ate my steak when I had it. As I grew up I would smother my meat with steak sauce without even trying it first. When I first met my husband he was astounded that I would do this, as he grew up in a home where sauce was never used. This was an interesting idea to me.
He told me that I used so much steak sauce because I had never had a steak cooked the proper way. I suspected that he might have been on to something with that statement. The ones my stepfather always cooked were well done, and always a little dry. Though they were fine, I had no idea that I was using the steak sauce because the meat was overdone and dried out. He said that if I had a steak that was done properly it would be a sin to put the sauce on it, and that he had to take me home to have one that his dad did on the grill outside.
When I first had a steak with his family I discovered that this type of meat should never be cooked all the way though. Though everyone likes their meat done differently, I found that I like it much better if it is medium rare. Many people won’t eat their meat that way, but this is the way that I prefer to have it. When it is cooked that way, and on the proper heat, there is no need for me to use steak sauce any longer. I know when I want a really good steak I can go have dinner with his family and walk away happy.
I have found an alternative to going to my in-laws for good steak, and I always decline the steak sauce at this place too. I am sure there are many great places to get steak, but my favorite is Applebees. They have a great house steak, and it always tastes good. I always get the same thing when I go there, but if you know where to find a good steak, you tend to go there when that is what you are craving. Though I don’t use much steak sauce for my steak any longer, it is great on a hamburger now and then. If you find yourself using a lot of it, perhaps you haven’t had a really great steak yet. Look around, there are many great places to find them.
Summary
Steak sauce is something you really don't need if a steak is cooked properly, and has all of its great flavor still inside. You can find great steaks at many restaurants, or make one at home on the grill for sweet perfection.
