A-1 Steak Sauce substitute???

[MrsDRock]

I am a huge condiemtn queen, and going on Atkins, I've had to about nix all my fave condiments- most notably... A-1 sauce.
Does anyone have a substitute????

I've always felt that if the steak was good, bare was best! But how about a dry rub instead?

I am huge into condiments too.. So I am curious to see what others say.

Ah, I love that A1 too!! Personally, I have found I'm needing to up my fat in my diet but I miss that sauce. So, I actually started using sour cream as a dip of sorts for my steak and I throw in a very small amount of A1 and mix it up. You get the flavor but you control it...don't get too much. It hasn't hurt me so far and it's not something I do every day. I'm sure I'm opening the door pretty wide here and some people will think it's an absolute no no but I'm speaking from my experience.

Since A-1 has raisins, orange juice and sugar, it is a pretty big no-no. Almost everything in it has a lot of carbs.

I make a pretty good substitute with low carb ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, grated orange zest, orange extract, a little vinegar and some Splenda.

If you are hooked on condiments or dips, there are a lot of things mixed together that are really good. I like Thai chili lime mayo. It's creamy, tangy and a bit spicy. Goes really well with pork or chicken. All you do is zest a lime and squeeze the juice. I use 3 tablespoons of lime juice to a 1/2 cup mayo, about a teaspoon of chili powder and the zest. Stir it up and refrigerate for an hour. You are allowed lemon or lime juice on induction.
