i like to marinade mine in worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves and some onions. then grill them.

as a side i take the marinade with the onions and garlic add some butter and beef broth and bring it to a slight boil then add cooked rice until the rice soaks up all the sauce.

damn i am hungry now.

hide? try enhance. i love steaks cooked in many different ways. in fact there are thousands of tried and true steak recipes that include sauces and rubs. i don't think anyone would accuse a great steakhouse of hiding their dry aged beef's flavor for offering a fillet with a peppercorn sauce do you?

perhaps you are too afraid of stepping out of ya little concrete bunker of flavors to try something new?

MARINATION is the process of soaking foods in a seasoned, often acidic, liquid before cooking. The origins of the word allude to the use of brine (aqua marina) in the pickling process, which led to the technique of adding flavor by immersion in liquid. The liquid in question, the 'marinade' can be acidic with ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice, or wine, or savory with soy sauce, brine or other prepared sauces. Along with these liquids, a marinade often contains oils, herbs, and spices to further flavor the food items.

It is commonly used to flavor foods and to tenderize tougher cuts of meat The process may last seconds or day

In order to tenderize a tough cut of meat, something that is acidic usually works, The enzymes, especially in marinades using tropical fruit break down the connective tissue. But as a rule, tough cuts should be braised, and how you cook them is what it really comes down to. Most marinades just add flavour, but don't tenderize the cut.
Sear it, then cook it in a sauce for a couple of hours. Tender, and it absorbs the flavor of the sauce
