I hate this practice...I think its an absolute waste for people to order who want to show off with a $50 entree or for business travelers on expense accounts. Flavors do not blend well...JMO. I clealry love the two separately.

Depends on if they use butter or not and use it with a sauce and if its a filet.

On a filet Im fine with it but dont put it on a strip or ribeye.

Seafood toppings on steak is pretty bourgeois.

The only topping I'll use and only on rare occasion.

I'm old-fashioned... I don't like any sauce or toppings on my steaks other than butter or sauteed mushrooms. I want to taste the meat

The only topping I've ever liked on a steak is Stilton Blue Cheese on a filet. Otherwise nothing.

No seafood toppings for me, especially not a drowning in crawfish etouffee. I don't find that seafood compliments steak, for me. A few scallops or shrimp in the side is okay, but no toppings such that I'm supposed to eat a bite of seafood with the meat.

I like brown butter fried parsley sauce or bearnaise or a blue cheese butter sauce, all in moderation and I really prefer the latter two on the side.

I like the two topped filets at Gino's in Baton Rouge, one with mozarella, shrimp, and mushrooms and the other with tomatoes, onion, garlic, and cheese.

For most any other cut, though, I just want the steak.
