Best sauce to compliment a steak

Just slap a bottle of A1 on the table and call it a day.

Ribeyes for you...something much cheaper for them. They don't give a shite about the quality of the meat anyway.

Agree with the A1 suggestion above.

Chimichurri is one of the best compliments to a steak IMO. I don't like sauce on a steak either but I will destroy some chimichurri if it's available.

Just make some. It's not hard.

If I’m doing a sauce with steak; this is my go to…

Horseradish sauce.

Make a compound butter to put on the steak when its done cooking and hopefully it will impart some moisture back into it.

This probably won't work since the steaks are well done and this relies on there being some juice collecting on the plate while it's resting, but I'll put it out there anyway.

I mix a very small amount of horseradish sauce, balsamic vinegar and a smidge of anchovy paste and put it on my plate while the steak is resting. Usually some juice collects under the steak while it's resting. When it's time to eat, I tilt the plate and mix that concoction into the steak juice.

I'm really talking about a small amount. No more than a teaspoon total. Maybe less. I just eyeball it.

The flavored juice becomes the "sauce" and it's delicious.

Another vote for an au poivre. It's my go-to for leaner cuts like a NY Strip.

a sauce that will help the dryness

Koreans have a sauce called gireum jang (oil sauce). Traditionally, it's just toasted sesame oil and salt, but today I see it also has black pepper and garlic. The toasted sesame oil will add back some fat and help with the dryness, plus add a nice nutty flavor.
