If it's a quality cut and done right you shouldn't need any steak sauce at all however if it has whip marks on it where the jockey was beating it A1 steak sauce all the way.

Skip the added sugar. Combination of Frank's hot and Worcestershire sauces here.

I was at a much touted steak house in Vegas, the waitress asked me “Would you like steak sauce?” I replied, “ I hope not” I didn’t need steak sauce. |

For some reason, I am not surprised that more voters on a pipe smoking forum would choose neither.
I don't put anything on my steak except for the marinade, which is just garlic, salt, and a little bit of soy.
I prefer natural flavours, as I am sure most of you do.

My experience with Nevada beef at restos is it's a little chewy, I guess like cowpokes would want. To me, I like a sauce next to my steak so I can dip some or not dip some.
For the soy sauce lovers, Kikkoman Ponzy Lime sauce all the way. Less salt and more citrussy, almost like a pot sticker sauce.

Bearnaise sauce or butter is the only thing for me.

Yes, bearnaise sauce is good too or my favorite, Peter Luger's sauce on the side. Many great steak houses in Vegas for sure. I loved living there, miss it.

I love good steak. I love steak sauce. I prefer arse Kickin's steak sauce. It's A-1 with an habanero kick.
My wife and I just finished a very nice dry aged Porterhouse that was marinated in a well tested recipe (Worcestershire based) of mine. Came out great off the grill. Now, getting ready for a nice smoke.

The finer steakhouses in Vegas, Reno, Carson City, etc.... serve midwestern beef. |

Upon reflection, I guess I do use steak seasoning... pre grill as opposed to post grill.
For 2 Lbs of steak:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tsp. Montreal Steak Seasoning
Marinate 30 minutes, preferably overnite.
Pull steaks out and get close to room temp before grilling to 130 degrees for med/rare.

My own preference is...no steak sauce...no marinade...and a good cut. All I want to taste is tender beef and it's juices. But, no judgement on anyone enjoying sauce or marinade on steak...after all...I put a little sugar and cream in my coffee...and I enjoy aromatics...so really... NO judgement.    |

applied after cooking.So if you voted neither than I got an honest

Good cut, salt and pepper. Seer both sides over really heat. Move to the cooler side for just a few minutes. Let rest for a minute or 2.
No sauce needed. If it needs sauce to taste better, I dont want it.

Skip the added sugar. Combination of Frank's hot and Worcestershire sauces here. Interesting combination. I like both separately. I'll have to give this a try. I generally don't use steak sauce, but if it needs something I use a mix of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and ginger. |

The only sauce I would use on steak, and that would depend on the steak, is Chimichurri. The folks in the most beefsteak eating places like Uruguay or Argentina use this. But most of the time I just use garlic, salt and butter, maybe some fresh rosemary.

Here you go Matthew. For myself, I don't measure things out religiously but here's a baseline per 1-2 lbs. of beef:
1/2 cup EVOO
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
Juice of a lemon
Cowhorn Pepper Company Beef Blend (seasoning both sides) (Cowhorn is from Nebraska, but substitute any chile pepper based blend)
2 cloves fresh garlic (we love garlic)
Kosher salt (seasoning both sides)
Fresh cracked black pepper (seasoning both sides)
I marinate in a Ziploc freezer bag the night before. And, I take the beef out an hour before the grill, and let it rest 10 minutes off the grill. Also, I grill it drizzled in butter.

Last week, I cooked a New York Strip with olive oil, salt and pepper. I sautéed an onion and was good to go.
It tasted great (no harsh notes), and the onions made a perfect condiment.

99% of the time, just kosher salt and roasted garlic powder on my steaks, finished with a pat of butter. Now, when I do fondue with hot oil, or steak pieces on the raclette grill, I use A1 on the steaks bits. No particular reason, other than that's the niche I've carved out in my life for steak sauce.
Edit: like @orley , I'll do chimichurri on picanha, or sometimes other steaks, depending on what I'm serving with them.
