Wow, did you know that sauces could be not only high in sodium, and fat, AND sugar? I was oblivious, until my doctor told our family to start watching our sugar. We started trying all of G. Hughes sugar free sauces with the Hickory BBQ one (tasty good!). Then we moved over to dressings (honey dijon/mustard I think is my favorite), and finally STEAK SAUCE.
Yes, sugar all over the place in that A-1, so if you are watching your sugar, you might want to try to transition to this sauce.
People that say A-1 is spicier are RIGHT. This steak sauce is more of a savory, sweet flavor that tastes delicious on meat, sides, pretty much whatever. You are not supposed to use half a bottle of steak sauce on your food, btw, which is what my boys used to do. "WHO ATE ALL THE STEAK SAUCE" they would grumble back and forth. You did, you both did, last night. :::head smack:::
We're on our 4th bottle of this stuff, and it's being used lightly (yay!), which saves us money too... bonus! I think it's a great substitution, and even when we are eating sugar more often, I can see us using this as a regular pantry staple.
Try it, but PLEASE don't buy all of it once you like it. Save a few bottles for the rest of us... lol.
PS - if you miss the TANG of the other sauce, you could always add some vinegar to your food. It's vinegar. You know, really inexpensive, good for your vinegar? You're welcome.
