Why is it that the perfect accompaniment to a beef steak is mustard, & yet, for roast beef, it's horseradish?!
Answers: I think its that there cooked differently, and it goes well with the texture, flavour, ect...
Ohh I'd disagree! Steak calls for pepper sauce! And I like mustard with ham!
Those aren't the "perfect" accompaniments, they're just what some people like. Personally I think mustard on steak is horrible.
Probably for the same reason that mustard tastes better on a hot dog than catsup does.
"It just does".
actually the perfect accompaniment is a good beer for both
i like pepper sauce for the both of them never mustard and horseradish
I don't think there can be a scientific explanation for something that is a matter of personal choice.
Never in my life have I heard of mustard with steak. But I do love horseradish with roast beef. Especially home made horseradish.
