What’s your favorite steak sauce?

Gorgonzola butter sauce. Or gorgonzola wine sauce as seen above. Particularly for wild game such as venison and duck. My personal position is berry sauces dont accentuate the red meat of venison and duck the way an earthy sauce like gorgonzola does. Again just IMHO.

I second the request for the chantrelle and morel sauce recipe
 
Deglaze your pan with red wine. Add a splash of high quality balsamic vinegar. Add 2-3 tablespoons of butter. Reduce slightly. Poor over steak.
Cool the pan bit before adding the butter so it emulsifies without separating. Took me a few tries to get that part right.
 
I eat venison sauceless most of the time but it doesn’t mean we don’t like a great sauce. Steak Diane is excellent and a favorite. Another top favorite is Hank Shaw’s Morel steak sauce. We save our stockpile of Morels for the sauce.

Same for me. 75% of the time it’s salt and sit in the fridge for several hours, add some fresh cracked pepper and then sear in cast iron with clarified butter. Then baste with some butter and aromatics (garlic, thyme, rosemary) at the end and put on the plate. But I do like to mix it up and try some different things like sauces on occasion. I’ve gotten to where I can read a recipe and almost taste it before I make it. Food should be an adventure.

Due to the lack of fat in game meat, butter goes a long way in enhancing the preparation IMO.
 
did anyone mention anchovy hollandaise?

just came across it and i'm liking the sound of it
 
Mushroom and red wine sauce. Look up “buerre rouge” to finish with cold butter and thicken.

Au poivre- brandy/whiskey, coarse cracked peppercorns, heavy cream, reduce.

Horseradish and sour cream
