Not a fan. Don't know why anybody would ruin a well cooked steak by drowning it in a sauce.

I like A-1 on burgers. My steaks don't even see pepper; salt and smoke only.

A good sauce will definitely enhance a steak. To me A-1 though is like ketchup, it's just wrong with a steak

The only time I use sauce is when the steak is cooked by my brother in law.

I'll use it on a cheesesteak sandwich, but never a properly cooked steak.I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

My steak, my money, my sauce, even my ketchup. If I like it on my steak then it is not wrong for me.

I make my own steak sauce as well as Worcestershire sauce. I like a good steak sauce.....and I like my meat alone sometime. Depends on how I feel.Ellijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

I was raised if cooked right doesn't need it. Should be an insult to the chef if you ask for sauce

Only used on sh**ty steaks. Love it on burgers and even fries.Firing up the BGE in Covington, GA

There's a couple of places near me that sell whole strip and bone out rib-eye sections. Inexpensive, but only select. Often tough, and not much flavor. If no gravy or jus available, a little sauce doesn't hurt.
And there are folks who don't want any pink in their meat. Gotta offer something that returns the moistness.

You should never drown a steak in a sauce. But a good sauce in proper proportions can compliment a good steak. I usually don't bother, but I do like the following:
- pan/board sauce of steak drippings and butter
- Béarnaise
- Horseradish sauce
Not a fan of ketchup, A1 style, or bbq sauces with good steaks.

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

When asked "do you need steak sauce", I always reply, "I hope not".

steak au poivre wouldn't be steak au poivre without the sauce.
and as others mentioned, Bearnaise is good stuff. or a compound butter, bleu cheese....

I don't use sauce on a good steak, but I'm not offended if someone puts sauce on one of my steaks. It's their plate, they can do what they want with it.South Jersey Pine Barrens. XL BGE , Assassin 24, Weber Kettle, CharBroil gasser, AMNPS

As the quality of the steak goes down, the need for a sauce increases.
I like Peter Lugers and I also like another one called Country Bobs.
Lately, I have been basting the steaks with a solution of Better Than Bouillon Roasted Beef Base.
The beef base really amplifies the beef flavor of the steak. When I do this I don't need any additional steak sauce. -
Horsey sauce is great on quality beef.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I do a cream and mustard-based sauce with mushrooms (champignons). My husband tends to prefer steak in its own juices but he always has some of my sauce when possible.- Jamaican living in rural Western Washington
