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  |

It's all in what you like. I tend to side with Pazuzu. A truly good steak doesn't need a sauce or a lot of other toppings that mask the flavor of the meat itself. Don't get me wrong, I like a good sauce or even sautéed unions, mushrooms, peppers but I prefer the taste of a good steak all by itself. Everyone has their thing.
