Tomato-based steak sauce (such as A.1. Original) is a condiment built on a tomato-vinegar base with Worcestershire sauce, raisins, orange peel, and spice blends. At 1.150 g/ml, its density is elevated by the tomato solids, vinegar acids, and dissolved sugars from raisins and natural sweeteners. A tablespoon weighs approximately 17.0 g; a cup weighs approximately 272 g. Pours moderately — slightly thicker than Worcestershire, slightly thinner than ketchup. Used as a beef condiment and as a flavor component in pot roasts, meat loaf glazes, and barbecue variations.

How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Sauce, Steak, Tomato Based has a density of 1.15 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 12 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Sauce, Steak, Tomato Based so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
FAQ
- How does steak sauce density compare to ketchup?
- Steak sauce (1.150 g/ml) is less dense than ketchup (approximately 1.20–1.28 g/ml depending on formulation) because ketchup has a higher concentration of reduced tomato solids and sugar. Steak sauce is thinner and more pourable, which is why it falls between Worcestershire (1.162 g/ml) and regular vinegar in behavior.
- How many grams is a cup of steak sauce?
- At 1.150 g/ml, one cup (236.6 ml) of tomato-based steak sauce weighs approximately 272 g — about 35 g more than a cup of water. For large-batch recipes like pot roasts or meatloaf that call for ¼ cup or more of steak sauce, using weight ensures consistency across batches.
