ROFL!! That stuff ls like 90% salt in brown liquid. If you like steak, eat steak. If you don't like steak don't douse it in crap so that you can pretend you like it.

I seldom eat steak, but when I do, I always add worcester sauce, and sometimes Tabasco. I love worcester sauce, and seldom get a chance to use it, so it goes on steak, and Tabasco makes everything extra special.

Steak only needs time to sit and warm up, oil, salt, and pepper. Everything else literally destroys the flavor.

If by "sit and warm up" you mean "sit on my grill for about five minutes", I totally agree.

No, I kept having issues and wild variance in my steak until I learned that it needs to sit and warm up before being grilled. Taking a 38° steak from the fridge and putting it right on the grill is a bad idea.

That's your opinion. I like to marinate my steaks in worcestershire once in a while. It tastes yummy too me. Other times I just do the salt & pepper. Don't do steak to often though. It's a treat when I do.

Salt pretty much makes everything better. Case in point? They added salt to caramel ice cream. Result? Better.

As much as I like marinading/injecting most things, not my steak.

Just salt and pepper also here.

I might have some Pickapeppa in a dipper on the side later, but not as a marinade.

Well, the Dale's seasoning takes care of salting the steak. 1 tablespoon of it is 1220mg of salt, or 51% of your daily sodium intake. I'll just stick with Worcestershire, it's only 9% of daily salt per tablespoon.

Other than S&P I see no reason to alter the taste of the meat at hand. Needing to inundate the taste means you are only after the texture.

If it's a really cheap steak something like cheese and onions can do a lot of good though.

If I am cooking a good quality steak from my local meat market, this is exactly how I make mine as well. Anything else just ruins the steak. If I am cooking something of lower quality I have no problem doing a nice marinade or dry rub. Both end up as tasty meals.

Butter, Soy Sauce, Black pepper and a dash of African burd pepper. 24hours in a zip bag, toss in broiler.

That's basically soy sauce and MSG. Those two ingredients are common ribeye marinade. It's popular with people who cook their steak well done. I'm guessing OP likes his steak well done.

I agree with the salt and pepper folks, but I do like those steak sauces on potatoes from time to time.

I'm a oil, salt, pepper, dash of cayenne, and dash of garlic guy. Not enough garlic or cayenne to know that it is there, but just enough to give it that something special that you can't quite put your finger on.

Warming it up depends on the thickness and how well-done you want it. If you want a thin piece of meat (or you have one that you have to deal with such as a lamb rib-chop that really only comes thin), a good sear, and rare to medium-rare in the middle, then pre-warming it will make that task nearly impossible. By the time you get the outside with nice grill marks, the inside will be medium to well-done if you start with pre-warmed meat.

I actually try the opposite. I want the core of my meat slightly frozen when I start to cook it. That way I can get a great outside sear and leave the middle any doneness that I want on any thickness of meat.

That only applies if the steak is good. I've had some steaks that have been pretty flavorless for whatever reason, no meaty taste at all, but that were rescued by a good sauce.
