If you like A-1

[Brad Olson]

You'll love this stuff; I'd say it's probably similar to A-1 Bold:



It's delicious as heck and imported from Peru by Transnational Foods of Miami. I actually buy mine in the little town of Cable, WI, where the local grocer sells it for $1 a bottle (that was the price when I was there 11 months ago) so I buy a couple every year.

And if you're an A-1 hater just move along...there's nothing for you here.

Thanks Brad! They actually carry this in a store nearby me...will check it out.

Btw...is that Frankin's new book next to the flower pot???

 

[Brad Olson]

Good eye! Yes, it's his new book about steak - I haven't gotten completely through it yet, but it's been good reading so far.

 

[Tim Campbell]

Nice! Looks really good from what I've seen. That flowerpot is awesome, too...

 

[Brad Olson]

Thanks! I'll tell my 3yo grandson you're a fan of his work...would you like to be added to his mailing list and Twitter feed?

 

[Tim Campbell]

Lol! I always need new inspiration.

Update: the sauce has a new label and is now a product of Brazil...and it SUCKS!! It's way less tangy and zesty, and now there's a kind of tomatoey undertone. It's been RUINED!

On their website the importer states that they love to hear from customers, but that might not be so true if that customer's me. They've yet to reply to me; maybe it's because I told them that the new sauce is like putting "Tutti Frutti" on the hi-fi and hearing Pat Boone instead of Little Richard...

Brings back bad memories of the new improved formula Moxie!

Black Lab Ale brewed in Montana was great. Then they moved to CA and it became pure swill.

Thanks Brad. Now I can't get this earworm out of my head.

I always liked HP sauce from jolly England.

Aldi has a pretty good steak sauce similar to A1.

 

[Dwain Pannell]

If you love A-1 (like I do), why would I import something else?

The king of steak sauces.
And no self-respecting bacon sandwich should be without it.

You bet! It’s also better than A-1 when making Steak Diane!

I got intrigued by the above comments about HP sauce. (It's sold on Amazon)
The malt vinegar in it sounded good, but a reviewer said it tasted of cloves.
Copy-cat recipes call for cloves, so I'll pass. Not a fan of A-1 either.

Down here in Costa Rica we put this sauce on all types of meat and chicken. Used especially with our breakfast "Gallo Pinto" which is a rice and red bean mixture.

 

[TonyUK]

Aint no cloves in HP Sauce Bob. (Can't stand the taste of cloves either).

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

My sister in laws brother used to live in Costa Rica and they brought back Lizano sauce a couple of times, that’s a very different but, equally interesting sauce! Wish I could find some locally.
I can find HP here most of the time, even Meijer’s carries it!

I saw the ingredient list, thought maybe cloves fell under the spices category. Still odd that so many copy cat recipes call for them. I'll give it a try if I can find it locally.

Amazon sells it, $9 for a 23.7 oz bottle.
