When I eat steak, I want to taste beef, not shallots. Sauce does NOT belong on steak. There are very few meats that should have sauce on them. If you need sauce for a larger recipe, then use crappy meat, cut it up to bite sizes, and mix the sauce in (stir fry, Alfredo, etc).
Meat needs fire, not pans. I am 100% against pans whenever I have the choice. Beef, pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, scallops, all go over fire.
Also, I'd rather spend 15 minutes in front of a grill drinking beer and getting fresh air than EVER spending even 5 minutes in front of the stove watching meat be destroyed
