Dousing steak in a condiment seems a little elementary, almost like you're masking the flavor with ketchup or barbecue sauce. However, using mayo is nothing like that. It doesn't just boost the overall flavor of steak, but it gives it a really great texture, too.
Mayonnaise is made with egg yolk and oil, which helps move along the browning process of the meat. When added to the steak, the egg protein and fat coat the surface, creating a delicious crust that caramelizes well.
Cooking with mayonnaise is also a great way to tenderize meat. The fat and protein provide a great feel, but the vinegar in the mayo helps to break down some protein and collagen, producing steak that melts into your mouth.
When in doubt, add equal parts mayonnaise and your spice rub to the steak. If you find that the condiment takes over the flavor a little too much, you can always add extra seasonings to taste.
