That news you read about Donald Trump ordering his steak doused in ketchup—that’s fake news. Or at least that’s what David Burke, the New York chef who runs BLT Prime inside the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., says. While the president does in fact prefer his steak well-done, Burke says that ketchup was “probably for a side of French fries,” not his dry-aged New York strip...
Q: Let’s talk about the steak order heard around the world. In February, President Trump came here and ordered his steak well-done and with ketchup. What was your reaction?
Well, first off he doesn't order it with ketchup, and he doesn’t eat it with ketchup. What we make for the president normally is a piece of Dover sole. Or he’ll have a hamburger, or a steak, or a shrimp cocktail. But he usually eats Dover sole. And you know what? I have no problem with a well-done steak...

I guess I’m a savage...I take my steak very well done...and I like ketchup on it. Sue me.
No, if you were a savage, you would eat it raw and bleeding, with some hide and hair still on it.
If you bake your steak in the oven at 400 for a few hours, you can make it even tougher, and destroy it even more.
I’ll try that! ;)
Yup...light em up....burnt in butter. (smells just like a good steak house) Big fire, big fire (Eddie Murphy)

“Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog.”
;^)
Eating there Saturday.
I’m a yellow mustard & sweet pickle relish gal all the way, but I love hot dogs a lot & if you handed me one w/ ketchup it would not go to waste. ; )
Being a Seabee doesn’t make me an expert on fish. But if you say flounder is as good as sole? Can’t wait to buy some!
“I have a friend who would occasionally put sour cream on his steak. I tried it once and it was pretty good.”
Nairobi used to have a restaurant called, “The Steak House”. (seriously!)
They served the absolute finest Bearnaise sauce on the planet! Ostensibly meant for the veggies (green beans, IIRC), this sauce was so good that many put it on the veggies, the fries and, yes, even the steaks!
Man, what a taste delight!
A favorite steak around Des Moines is topped with a sauce of butter, lots of garlic, and Italian herbs. ‘Steak de Burgo’.
bkmk & thx!
I have a friend that would tell them...”Just knock off the horns, wipe his stinky ass and put him on a plate.”
I figured you’d been based in Gulfport
Maybe California though.
Flounder and Gulf or Florida pompano are ubiquitous Gulf fish
They pan grill well
The French descended on the coast also cook pompano in parchment paper
Pompano en papillote.....more or less
So what if he really does likes ketchup on his steak.
All food snobs can ph’ off, people like what they like.
Obama loves to eat raw weiners, is that OK?
Where I live i do not have access to a grill.
But I read an article years back in the Wine Spectator by a steak house chef on how to prepare steak at home without one.
Set the stove on broil and place a cast iron skillet inside. Let it sit there until it is so hot a couple drops of water vanish when they hit the pan.
Olive oil, salt and pepper to taste on each side of the steak.
When the skillet is properly hot enough the steak gets placed in the middle. About 4 minutes each side does the trick. Sometimes a little longer.
The chef did say your never going to get a house stove as hot as the stoves they use at a steak house though.
