In the best kitchens, tools and ingredients work overtime. That’s why we like to make condiments, dressings, and yes, even steak sauce, do double duty in our recipes. In fact, A.1. Steak Sauce makes for a mean pot roast and a fun twist on lasagna. It’s so much more than just a steak sauce. Don’t believe us? Try these five amazing dishes where A.1. takes the lead and makes everything else better for it.

Why should steak have all the fun? Burgers deserve a little lovin’ too. Turn your favorite patties into rarefied cowboys by caramelizing onions and drenching them in A.1. That sweet, smoky essence will stir up campfire memories as you dig into these amped-up cheeseburgers.

Not much is more satisfying than a tried-and-true meat-and-potatoes kind of dish. But sometimes even the classics can feel tired.
