The "Nicki Minaj /A.1. Steaksauce" love affair isn't a one way thing because the folks behind the sauce are a big fan of her also.

Now, if you'll recall TMZ.com photogs spotted Ms. Minaj out this week at Boa, a super duper fancy steakhouse in Hollywood, where she had someone bring her a bottle of A.1. into the restaurant.

The move is a HUGE no no in steak etiquette! But, the folks over at A.1. tell TMZ.com they were extremely thrilled to see Minaj make a sauce run.
To make sure she's never "sauceless" again, they have sent Nicki some A.1. Original Steak Sauce. Now she'll have A.1. wherever she goes.
