People put all sorts of stuff on their steak. What's so wrong with ketchup?
Why is liking ketchup on steak so wrong?

Nothing at all is wrong with it. You are the one putting it in your mouth. You are the one that will be tasting it. You can put grape jelly on your steak for all I care.
Though ketchup on a hotdog now is just wrong

Ketchup is for kids. If you get a good quality steak and properly prepare it, it shouldn't need anything to cover up the flavor. I guess it makes getting high quality meat pointless if you aren't going to taste it anyways. Kind of a waste of money.

If the steak is that bad that it needs sugary tomato paste to flavour it, then it wasn't really worth getting a steak in the first place, imo.email: [email protected]Comment

Being a steakeater myself and trying to do it not often I really never had a need to add ketchup to it, but sometimes I order it with some in-house sauces, so I leave that part as individual.
Something which amazed me in this manner just hearing about it is german currywurst... sold as relatively good sausage with the addition of ketchup+curry and its usually eaten with french fries or bread...⭐ CAM SODA ⭐ STRIPCHAT ⭐
⭐ CHATURBATE ⭐ X LOVE CAM ⭐Comment

When I was a kid and my dad BBQ'd, he'd freak out every single time, because us kids would grab the ketchup bottle.
He always felt like it was some kind of insult as the cook, but fuck I was like 6 years old...LOL...ketchup was the shit.For rent - ICQ 127-027-910

You all need to roll thru the trailor parks of kings mountain, NC and see how steak eating goes down. $3.99 for a pack of 4-6 steaks. A-1 sauce, one beast sprinkling pepper on his and the other getting wild with the lowreys seasoned salt...gotta love it.

Get off it.. one of the best things in the world in a thin BBQ steak sandwich on whitebread with plenty of butter, tomato sauce and onions.
Tomato sauce rules on that sort of meat. Sure you wouldn't put it on a steak in a nice resurant, but gathered around the BBQ on a sunday with a few beers, fuck yeah.
I've been vegetarian for 8-9 years now and theres only a couple of things I miss, family BBQ steak sandwich with sauce and onions is one of them.
Then again I don't know whether there is a big difference between tomato sace here and ketchup over there.Comment

Why does it matter to others what or how they eat?
What about when I take prime cuts, pulse them in my food processor and turn them into a burger. Did the meat suddenly down grade and become ketchup worthy? Then again hell lots of ground beef is already made up of many prime cut pieces, also why sometimes ground beef gets a little dry.
Yet hell I am fairly certain most all grab ketchup out of a bottle and never have had any home made ketchup or even mayo for that matter.
I personally rarely marinate or use special seasonings on my steaks. Then again I have tossed on butter, strong blue cheeses, bacon, onions, mushrooms, compound butters, worcestershire sauce, A1, and others to perfectly good steaks. I also have made many a pot of stews using porterhouse steaks cut into cubes.
The ketchup argument reminds me of the assorted sushi snob debates.Comment

What the fuck does it have to do with affording a quality steak? That is more lame than my legs.
I know my beef and pork better than many will. I pick out and buy both still on the hoof and locally raised at a farm. Butcher cuts and packages everything how I desire. I also have no problem giving someone a ketchup bottle if they ask when eating over.Comment

Yeah.. It also doesn't really translate to Australia. If you don't like Ketchup on a meat pie or BBQ steak it's almost eviction-from-the-country worthy.
A guy in a 2M penthouse will eat a $200 Wagyu steak at a resturant, but still enjoy a family BBQ with ketchup on meat.
We have some of the best beef in the world, it's nothing to do with lack of money. I've seen some very expensive steaks on BBQ's.. it's almost a point of pride to provide inch+ thick prime cuts for your guests.
And only last xmas our family bought $400 worth of massive king prawns and most of them went on the BBQ.. the other half would have been eaten with seafood sauce.. which is... essentially just ketchup and mayo.
Cultural differences. The easiest way you tell a redneck BBQ from a normal one here is to look at the beer they're drinking.Comment

Ya forgot about that. I often use cocktail sauce on shrimp and even sometimes crab legs. Though my cocktail sauce is just ketchup or chili sauce, horseradish, lemon, worcestershire sauce, and parsley.
Never gave it much thought that I was ruining something even more delicate in flavor that costs way more per pound than steak in a much heavier and pungent sauce.Comment

lol. I still wouldn't call it ruining though. It does taste fantastic. Yes, there is a lot more to a good seafood sauce and it sounds like you've got things under controlYa forgot about that.

Ketchup and mayo are the basic ingredients if you want a quick version and you don't have nicer stuff in the cupboard, I've done it once when we ran out of sauce half way through a BBQ. Lots of variations though, with dill, pickles etc etc.
It's delicate, but at the same time, unless you're hand peeling them and eating them with salt as you go, most prawn dishes are fairly liberal with sauces.
To be boring for a paragraph or two, my favourite prawn dish at the moment (I'm not vego, I just get called it) uses a particular brand of pistachio dukka liberally applied with fresh lime juice and zest in fairly abundant amounts and cooked with a drizzle of olive oil with a bit of fresh chili in a griddle pan. I was just fucking around one afternoon and decided that becase I'm nuts for this dukka and a big fan of limes i'd try the two... Worked out great.
An interesting dish I made last weekend was a seafood lasagne with prawns and leatherjacket (ugly fuckers, but they taste ok, we caught over 50 of them deep sea fishing a month ago). Quite nice.. but I go nuts for seafood pie and that kind of thing... I'm going to put my own spin on it next time though. And one of the more special things I've eaten this year was fish sausage at a particularly fine resturant here.
I'm a big fan of sausages and pies because of the incredible quality of the ingredients you can put in and how unnassuming they are. (well that and i lost 50 pounds and wish I could still eat that shit all the time ;))
Yes a normal sausage you buy in the supermarket is 60% grain, 30% beef offal and 10% flavouring... but why not make your own and put whatever you want in it? Blue cheese, figs and Prime steak? Hell.. I might try and put the prawns, dukka and lime in one..
Then again my grandfather used to own a pig farm and I grew up making blood sausage and what not in the kitchen... I guess most people aren't really aware of what you can do yourself, where things come from etc...Last edited by bhutocracy; 11-15-2007, 07:18 PM.Comment

Well, I can tell from your posts that you are intelligent enough to know the difference between my satire and my seriousness. I just found it odd that you got so offended from this one particular post. you obviously realize that I don't care if you put ketchup (catsup) on your steak....Comment

Well thanks. However I am recovering from surgery and alas that means I am always wacked out of my gourd currently. My satire/sarcasm meter is broken or well very numbed. Oh not really offended either, just found it funny.Well, I can tell from your posts that you are intelligent enough to know the difference between my satire and my seriousness.
