I love paella. I don't like my steaks too flavored. If you order a good cut of steak, then why shouldn't the natural flavors of the meat be allowed to come through??
I HATE marinades, or God forbid barbecue sauce on my steak. They have their place, on chicken, ribs, etc...but if I go to Balducci's, for instance, and I'm spending 15 bucks a pound on a rib steak, it's getting brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, then thrown on a flaming hot grill till it's medium rare, serve it with some nice grilled veggies.....and that's my trick.
