There are two kinds of steak sauces: those meant to cover the taste of a mediocre steak like A1, and those meant to complement the flavors of an excellent steak, like the peppercorn sauce on a filet au poivre. Don't count out sauces completely, just because retards use shitty sauce to cover shittier meat.

maybe idk honestly

the other thing to consider is that japanese wagyu is typically really thin, usually 1/2 inch or so like the sliced piece in OP's pic. I would be afraid of overcooking if I was going to put it in the oven/water bath first and then a hot pan. seems like by the time you had a nice lil sear, it would be cooked enough through, without needing any heating beforehand

(and yeah you could get a thicker piece, but it would end up being 200+ dollars).
