After doing that editing, I actually grilled up some large sirloin steaks over the weekend and used just a bit of A1 on them.

It's a good dipping sauce in moderation.

Nice looking steaks. Did you use the reverse sear or just grill them conventionally?

Those I just cooked on direct fire. Only took about 12 minutes and I almost caught myself on fire.

Those are sirloins and not very tender. Tried to tenderize them a bit before the cook but it was kind of a spur of the moment.

With the beef we get each year, I have probably 20+ of those from the past 2 years. I never know what to do with them. We usually just cut them up and stir fry but I thought I'd try something different.

Turned out pretty well. Certain portions are more tender than others as you'd expect. But, I'll do it again. My son liked it. So did I.

we typically chunk them for kabobs but that is a cut that tends to build up in the freezer. Rarer the better with it IMO. I think last steer we did I just ground it as we are going through a ridiculous amount of ground beef right now.

We cut it up and use the Asian velveting technique to tenderize it using corn starch. You can find various preps on the information superhighway. My wife is in charge of that process so I'm not sure all what she does with it. I'll try to find out.

Whatever it is works really well and is quite tasty.

I can't support the A1 endorsement in any application...just tastes like fake smoke. I've never liked it.

A1 is a product of Kraft Foods....I worked for them for 13 years. The corporate sales guys use to call A1 liquid gold. The margins were absolutely huge. The sales guys made it habit of dumping the whole bottle on the plate at restaurants just to burn through the product

We use a couple of recipes from my sister in law who is part Philippina. Recipes from her Lola. It’s been a while since we’ve done them as it was usually for large family gatherings. I don’t think corn starch is involved so maybe it’s a different recipe of hers we use. I don’t know, my wife is in charge of that prep. I don’t use recipes for anything but making rubs and even that will vary.
