Back in the day it seemed like A-1 and Heinz 57 were the only things on the grocery shelf and I didn't like either one. Now there are lots of choices but I don't want to test all of them.

If I've got a really nice cut and it comes out juicy I wouldn't use a sauce but sometimes it comes out a little over done and bland. That's when I'd like to use a steak sauce.

Taste preferences are onion, garlic and pepper. Not too keen on vinegar.
TIA.

Add some mushrooms and deglaze with maybe a red wine or something of your choosing

Chimichurri is always a good option. Parsley, olive oil, garlic, cumin, black and red pepper, and red wine vinegar (though you can skip that if your preference is no vinegar).

Oooh, I really love the smell of cumin/cimino. Can I find Chimichurri at most big chain supermarkets or do you have to go to a specialty market?

I've never bought it. I always make it. I have a parsley plant that needs to be kept in check, so I make it quite often.

Well, you won't like this one, but a brown butter sauce with some parsley thrown in to fry it a bit is quite good as is a blue cheese butter with a little cayenne and chives.

You cook, Zach. You can make it. Just put it on the stove on a moderate temp and watch it while it slowly turns golden. It's not difficult. You can do it in the oven as well. Just keep an eye on it.

I bet some capers thrown in there would be really good.

That is what makes buerre blanc so nice to make, there are so many ideas that can pass through your mind to make the sauce unique for the application.

I prefer Crystal or Lea&Perrin's steak sauces to the others.

I like Tiger Sauce every now and then, but I don't use any steak sauce most the time.
