I couldn't agree more. This debate about what condiments to serve with
steak, or serving steak unadorned seems silly. If my money is green, I
want my steak served the way I want it when I dine out. Its that simple.
I prefer my steak to be cooked to a little pink and a little ketchup on
the side, but I do sometimes opt for steak sauce.
