These, but if youre pan searing it and baste it with compound butter, or put a pat of butter on during the rest, thats fine.

Or you can take the leftover fat and fond, add some wine, diced shallots, thyme, rosemary, maybe some stock, and then boil it down into a sauce. Use an acid like lemon juice to cut through the fat, mount with a knob of (European or New England) butter, boom done. Drizzle that over the steak and you're golden.

I used to haaaaaaaaate steak. I still rarely eat it, even. But the first time I happened to sear one to medium-rare perfection and make a red wine pan sauce? I realized how good the food can be. Now I am adamant that a pan sauce is needed to make a good (non-Wagyu) steak great.

If your steak needs something more than butter, you did it wrong.

I like steak sauce, but if the steak needs it that is a big problem. I need to find a better use for it.

But why eat non-Wagyu?

Steak sauce is only for shitty steak

Pretty much this. I was going to say it depends on the Steak but I cant think of a time I thought the steak was really good and I wanted steak sauce

As far as Im concerned, if money is a concern, better to have something else thats not a steak.

I love the Wagyu though. Eat it about twice a week.

Well yeah, that's another reason I don't eat steak all that often.
