I love orange juice, but I don't want it with my steak.

Steak cooked with ponzu sauce is a amazing. Ponzu is a sauce made from citrus fruits. So yes, for some oranges and steak go together great.

Ponzu sauce is made with a bitter citrus - much more 'lemon' than 'orange'. Secondly, of course, Ponzu sauce isn't a glass of orange juice. Comparing the two is ridiculous.

...since we're trading anecdotes, I'd much prefer juice to wine with my steak.

Although I typically go with my favourite drink of all -- plain water.

You're right, with a steak I'd much prefer a strawberry milkshake.

Certainly not wine.
