I can't stand it. Never found a steak sauce that liked.

Black pepper >> Steak sauce

On any half decent steak.

Yes even if I have the best cut of meat ever. I still like to dab it in some tasty spicy sauce.

Not on grilled steaks like New Your Strip, Ribeye, Filet, etc.

I'll use it on pork chops or if the meat is a little dry. A1 is the best.

I typically don't put anything on my steak. Occasionally I'll add a bit of salt but that's it.

Butter is a good topping, otherwise just salt and pepper, or hot pepper. More than that and I might as well have bought a shittier cut.

I do like steak sauce, though. It's good with supermarket boneless, skinless chicken breast (the most boring meat on earth).

No, shit is nasty.

S&P is all I need as long as the steak is decent. If it's not decent I'll typically blacken it, then douse it in garlic butter.

Hell no. All you need is salt and pepper, anything else drowns the flavor of the meat. If you don't like steak and need sauce to choke it down, DON'T EAT STEAK.

I use steak sauce, but never on steak.

I rather like it on various potato preparations.

A1, 57, and bbq sauce are all excellent for french fries.

Steak sauce is a great way to ruin a good steak. Lawry's seasoned salt and pepper is all that ever touches my steak.

typically no.

every once in a while i'll dip some steak in peter luger's steak sauce, but that's if i haven't done any seasoning and the steak is a little dry.

It depends on how good the meat is. A great cut of meat is best with a little butter, salt, and pepper.

A crappy cut sometimes needs a little more help.
