I've never understood America's obsession with putting blue cheese on absolutely everything, but I think that's a different thread.
I wouldn't put sauces on a flavorful rib eye ...maybe just some grilled onions . But a filet is very light on flavor IMO. Yes, it is extremely tender but a bit bland. I almost never buy filet...but if I do, it needs flavor help. It is too lean--fat=flavor.
