Seasoned well with Montreal steak spice and bourbon bbq sauce. Always. BBQ sauce on steak?!?!? *Clutches pearls*

I’ll agree that a good steak doesn’t NEED sauce, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want sauce. I can go either way depending on my mood. I’m here. And never ever ever a bbq sauce, but sometimes I will order bernaise or Demi glace or peppercorn sauce, etc when it’s on the menu. Also love a herb butter. But people who baste their steaks in bbq sauce? They crazy.

Always medium rare. Doesn't actually need a sauce but I'm a sauce person for everything so I usually get something on the side to dip.

No a steak doesn’t need sauce, but it doesn’t mean steak can’t taste bomb with sauce.
Also, some of these responses are acting like sauce is super lowbrow. You go to Peter Luger and they’re known for their special steak sauce. It’s not like a steakhouse will sneer at you for ordering a sauce.

The best steak I’ve eaten was a filet mignon with a rosemary reduction in Quebec City. I still daydream about it. Sauce isn’t necessary, but it doesn’t always take away from a good steak.

Steak Oscar done right is probably one of my favorite meals.

I mean, no one is asking for well done and putting ketchup on it, right?
I’m all for a fancy sauce at a restaurant. At home, no sauce.

I was going to put no and then you said bernaise and I remembered that my mom makes and amazing marinade. Also horseradish.
A good steak tastes good without sauce but, mmmmmmmm, sauce.

I don't feel that dishes like this are in the same category as ordering just a steak. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I order whatever steak I want at the steakhouse and then ask for it Oscar-style. So it’s kind of like ordering a steak ... then ordering a sauce to go with it.

Generally no but some cuts of meat definitely benefit from some kind of "extra". Definitely no to A1, barbecue sauce, ketchup (a la Trump 🤢) or anything like that. Let me be clear that something like a filet never needs anything extra. Good steaks can stand on their own.

Bearnaise doesn't really scandalize me, and I assume you aren't ordering it well done if you are ordering that kind of sauce. It's really well done with ketchup/A-1/BBQ sauce that is in the WTF are you doing category.

Yes a good steak shouldn’t need sauce but there is a time and place for a filet Oscar. Like at Del Frisco’s around Christmas time. Or just because.

I eat my steaks med-rare and I usually order a house-made sauce at steakhouses. I don’t consider it a mortal sin.

So when MH was in finance, he literally went to a different steakhouse every night of the week. He’s been to every steakhouse in the city and has very strong opinions. His birthday is the week before Christmas and we go out for a steak dinner at Del Frisco’s every year. He has been everywhere and he swears Del Frisco’s Double Eagle is the best of the best. That steak Oscar makes braving the city Christmas crowds worth it.

I'm someone who has gotten better about her steak order over the years. When I was younger, it was well done. I've only ordered medium for years now. I'm not sure if I'll ever be brave enough to go any rarer.

I don't know what Steak Oscar is, but I also discovered we have a Del Frisco's in the same area as the Barnes & Noble Kitchen.

I want to love all steak, but anything medium or less tastes like blood to me. I want to taste beefy, not bloody.
And one time, I was at an Argentinian steakhouse and the waiter blasted me for ordering my steak medium well and I did not tip him. Let that be a lesson.

The best steak Oscar I ever had was in Sea Island, GA. It was so rich, I felt like I was going to throw up but I couldn’t stop eating because it tasted so good. Whenever someone mentions steak Oscar, MH hisses “do not talk about the steak Oscar that almost made you throw up.” And I’m like, “one time, in Sea Island ....”

You understand that in the butchering process, blood is removed, right? The "blood" you see is myoglobin.
