Dawn, I made it again and didn’t have any trouble with it curdling. I could be that you are getting the half and half to hot, it doesn’t need to come to a boil, just a real low simmer.

I just used the regular A-1, I just don’t know why mine would do differently than yours. I haven’t had a chance to make it again but I will let you know when I do.

Just checked the ingredients for A-1 sauce and it contains vinegar which may explain why my sauce curdled. Your recipe indicates you used A-1 sauce – which variety did you use? Thanks

Thanks! Any info you could give me would help I’m baffled, too – this has never happened to me before! Wonder if using a non-stick skillet had anything to do with it? I appreciate your response!

This one is stumping me. I have no idea why the steak sauce would make your half and half curdle. You might try adding the steak sauce first, cook it for a bit and stir the cream in at the end. I plan on making this again soon. I will let you know if I come up with anything else.

I attempted to make this tonight – it smelled heavenly, but when I added the steak sauce to the half & half, the cream curdled. I started over thinking the cream was bad – used a new container – same results. Started over again, adding the steak sauce to the beef stock – same result. What am I doing wrong? Any advice??
