A.1. Has a New First-of-Its-Kind Product We Can’t Wait To Get Our Hands On

For 200 years, steak lovers have agreed that A.1. Steak Sauce is simply the best thing to put on beef. It was in 1824 that Henderson William Brand, chef to King George IV of England, created the concoction for his boss. Legend has it that it was the king himself who dubbed the sweet and tangy sauce "A1" for its unbeatable quality.

But don't think for a moment that A.1. is too old to innovate. Today, the brand, now owned by The Kraft Heinz Company, is releasing its first product in more than five years that's not in the bottled condiment aisle. The product, aimed at further elevating prime cuts, is A.1. Steakhouse Butter .

New A.1. Steakhouse Butter When it comes to a beefy meal, compound butters are currently all the rage. Who doesn't love spreading the honeyed cinnamon butter at Texas Roadhouse on a warm roll or watching herb butter melt over a steak at an upscale steakhouse? Social media has taken notice of the deliciousness of a well-flavored butter, too. Cowboy butter , which combines garlic, herbs, and citrus, is having a real moment on TikTok . A search for garlic butter steak bites shows that the meaty dish isn't far behind in popularity. So it makes sense for A.1. to collaborate with Epicurean Butter to create one that allows you to elevate steak night by just popping the lid.

"From sauces to butter, we know our fans are constantly seeking new ways to recreate the steakhouse experience at home," Holland Robinson, brand manager for A.1., said in a press release. "An iconic accompaniment to red meat since 1824, A.1. knows steak. By blending time-honored tradition with modern culinary trends, the new Steakhouse Butter is the perfect partner to the grill, delivering a bold, buttery and savory complement to any meal."
