re: Favorite steak topping?

Crawfish étouffée

Sauteed mushrooms and onions with a1.

Chimichuri

But I sub the parsley with chopped kalamata olives and Use balsamic vinegar. This sauce is great stuffed in pork loin also.

Sometimes I like to make a sauté of garlic, bacon, mushrooms, and onion in olive oil and a couple hits of worchestire sauce. Add in a few red pepper flakes and so good

normally salt and pepper and someone who knows wtf they are doing is all that's needed for a good steak, however my dad's sauce that he makes is pretty good too, half a cup onion sauteed then some Worcestershire sauce a couple tablespoons of lemon juice and half a stick of butter and all is right in the world

ketchup.

I don't mind an occasional cabernet reduction sauce on a steak if I'm eating at a restaurant and they offer that, but I do that only for the variety.

I've had port wine reduction sauces, but never one from a cabernet. It was actually quite good as it also had porchini mushrooms to add an earthiness to the sauce.

Does Beef Wellington count as a topped steak? If so, then it gets my vote.

I love a good sirloin, Bearnaise and fries. Delicious

This, I seldom do sauces but when I do a good Bearnaise is the way to go...

2 tablespoons raspberry jam 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons tomato sauce 2 tablespoons malt vinegar 5 drops hot pepper sauce salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste



this got really good reviews, i've never had it though.

Smoked salt

I love smoked salt. Used some last night when I roasted some pecans. Excellent.

My serious answer about steak toppings:

I don't care for seafood toppings on steak. On the side is fine.

I don't go for the "nothing on my steak" deal though I understand it. Sometimes, all I want is a little salt and pepper. Sometimes, I like a brown butter parsley sauce. Sometimes, I like a blue cheese butter pat on top. Blue cheese and beef are a great combo. On occasion, a little bearnaise floats my boat. Sometimes, I use Cavender's rather than salt and pepper. Depends on my mood and the eaters involved. Steaks have been served with various sauces and toppings for a gazillion years. If you like it that way, eat it that way.
