A while back I was asked to review Country Bob's All Purpose Steak sauce, and being a big steak lover I jumped at the chance. Then the sauce arrived and we went through a phase when we just didn't eat a ton of steak so I never got to try it and I might have maybe forgotten about it for a bit.
Then, one day, we had steak! And we had sauce! And I put them together, but not nearly for long enough, because as usual I didn't have time. And I wish I could say that the heavens sang and I was thrilled with the sauce, but the truth of the matter is that after marinating for five minutes in Country Bob's sauce the steaks weren't all that great. So I put the sauce aside and I decided to try it with hamburgers before writing the review.
Guess how long it took me to make hamburgers? That's right, weeks and weeks. And then, thank goodness, I did have hamburger meat, and I did mix it with Country Bob's sauce, and the heavens did sing, but I had trouble hearing them over M's Mmmming and groaning with delight.
Country Bob's All Purpose Steak Sauce Pros:
- This aromatic steak sauce is delicious mixed with hamburger meat. It makes juicy, tasty burgers that leave you licking your fingers clean.
- Very versatile sauce that can be used in a multitude of ways. Recipes are offered on the site.
- Country Bob's company is, ah, somewhat religious, which is a great thing if you're into that!
- You can get a personalized label and corporate gifts on the site!
Country Bob's All Purpose Steak Sauce Cons:
- If you marinate your steaks for all of five minutes and hope that slapping a ton of sauce on while they grill is going to help, you might be disappointed. The steak sauce didn't really do much for the steaks, though I have a hunch that overnight marinating might create a delightful dinner.
- Not available at my local grocery store, but I think that M would leave me if I didn't start ordering it regularly, so I'm going to get on that.
All in all Country Bob's All Purpose Steak Sauce was a great hit with us and I'm definitely turning it into a family staple. I highly recommend it, and if you're not convinced I I can just tape M's happy eating sounds next time I make some burgers, which, if this week is anything to go by, might be in a day or two.

Although the post was excellent, I would like to emphasize how wonderful the burgers with Country Bob's Sauce were with the following vow: I will never have burgers at home again without Country Bob's. There I said it. It's that good.
ReplyDeleteMy mom makes the BEST homemade hamburgers, ever. Much like her fried chicken that I will never replicate (and have thankfully saved myself the embarrassment of even trying), I cannot make ever make my burgers as juicy or flavorful as hers but I did FINALLY figure out that by adding some of the seasoning to the meat before packing it into patties, a lot more of the flavor comes through AND that by making a ''wedge'' in the side to watch the 'inside color', it's much easier to not serve burgers 'tar tar' by being able to keep an eye on the inside without ripping the burger apart to check the color over and over.
ReplyDeleteGaaaaaaaah. That is one long-ass comment to get some steak sauce!!
My favorite memory:
ReplyDeleteI got lucky a few years back and won a gift certificate to one of the local casino's steakhouse from a local radio station.
That steak melted in our mouths! We still talk about it, it's one of those magical moments in our relationship. lol I've never had a meal close to it since. (I'm drooling now just thinking about it!)
The Spicy Orange COuntry Bob Beef Kabobs sound pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI remember helping my mom when I was little by putting cheese on the burgers

I have tried Country Bob's sauce, and it is good.
ReplyDeleteI love a good burger and my hubby makes the best. His burgers are bigger than your mouth with cheese inside the burgers! He mixes onion soup mix in before he cooks them and they are the best in the world. I have been hearing some good things about Country Bob's Sauce and would love to try some so count me in!

My favorite steak memory relates to a restaurant that's about 20 miles from my home. It's in a resort community and cooks its steaks over an open flame in the middle of the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteAnd yum are these good.

I would say my favorite hamburger memory was last summer-beautiful sunny day. Yummy homemade potato salad and hamburgers on the grill, grilled to perfection. Well, almost, sounds like we need to special sauce!!

MY favorite steak memory is the first dinner I had with my hubby. He took me to Mortons for a special date. THe steak was the best I have ever had. It melted in my mouth and I knew I had fallen in love with him.
ReplyDeleteyummie a hamburger
ReplyDeleteWhen I hurt my wrist and my hubby had to cut up my steak at the restaurant..I felt like a little kid!! I love Country Bobs and my store stopped selling it.
ReplyDeleteThe Spicy Orange COuntry Bob Beef Kabobs looks good
ReplyDeleteMy best sauce memory happened last night, my 6 yr old politely asked my husband "daddy, could you go eat somewhere else, Im tired of this room smelling like steak sauce"

The first time I made my now husband a steak he ended up chocking on a bite. I was scared and embarrassed. needless to say he cooks the steaks now. Thanks for the chance.

I had the best steak in the world at Ruth Chris last Christmas with my whole family
ReplyDeleteMy mother died when I was a child. So when my dad cooked, the only thing he could make was Steak. Fortunately he was pretty good at it! Needless to say, we ate a lot of steak!
ReplyDeleteI'm salivating just thinking about the hamburgers, yum!
ReplyDeleteLong story short - my c-section was early, depriving me a burger from The Counter. As soon as we're discharged, I make S take me & 5-day-old K out for burgers before heading home.
I love hamburgers smoothered in mushrooms and swiss cheese. Their great and juicy. Can't wait to put the sauce on it to make it even juicyer!!!
ReplyDeleteAny steak memory is a good memory.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the Scrumptious Grilled Onions recipe
ReplyDeleteThe only way I used to eat hamburgers was from McDonalds only catsup & no bun, lol.
ReplyDeletehaha i love your hubbys comment!
ReplyDeleteand my fave burger memory... well a funny memory was when we had friends over for burgers and i made the patties myself with onions and cheese inside, etc. And my hubby decided we could not use the bbq, because of apartment policies, so we made them on a skillet. on the kitchen table. oh apartment living. they were really tasty though! Thanks for the giveaway!

Ok so is Hubby trying to win this? LOL. The first time I tried hamburgers with steak sauce it was so yummy that we make them that way all the time now. But I would love to try this kind. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBoth of my boys are huge steak and hamburger eaters. We have never tried Country Bob's sauce before so We would love the opportunity to try it! Thanks for a great giveaway :)

ReplyDeletejayme[dot]bouwens@yahoo[dot]com
My favourite steak memory would be from when I was a child on our houseboat and barbequing steaks. My dad made the best steaks! I would love to try the Slow Cooker Stew- looks like it would be good on a cold winter night!

oc,summer,burgers,steak,hook me up
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is hearing all about my father in law's steaks while my husband was growing up. Something along the lines of "shoe leather". ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Spicy Orange Kabobs look excellent
ReplyDeleteMy dad bought a whole cow and stuffed our freezer with meat to last a year. He would cook steaks so often I got sick of them and asked for a hamburger.
ReplyDeleteI loved it when my daughter ate her first whole hamburger! And then asked for more. She was such a picky eater.
ReplyDeleteI have tried Country Bob's sauce, and it is good. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteMy guy makes the best hamburgers. It doesn't matter how I make them..he does better and he always uses some kind of sauce...that is the secret.
ReplyDeleteI would like to emphasize how wonderful the burgers with Country Bob's Sauce were.
ReplyDeleteone time i microwaved a salisbury steak microwave dinner and i knocked it over and the steak landed on my hand and left a burn the looked like hawaii and had to be like half an inch tall!
ReplyDeleteby the way i've tried the sauce and it tastes really good!
ReplyDeletei'd like to try the stuffed pepper soup!
We have backyard barbeques every Fourth of July since we have the view of the fireworks and the burgers are usually pretty good. Three years ago, we invited a new guest. His son plays ball with my son. He brought over Argentinian Flank Steaks called Churasco. Between the burgers and the steaks, it was the yummiest barbeque ever!
