When the steak or chops come off the grill, the amount of sauce you'll want to serve alongside depends on how potent the condiment is. Texture counts too: a thick sauce or salsa goes further than a less concentrated one.

SALSAS: Allow about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of salsa per person. 

SAUCES, RELISHES AND KETCHUPS: If the condiment is intensely flavored (Blueberry Barbecue Sauce), allow from two to three tablespoons for each serving. For less powerful sauces (Sun-Dried Tomato Compote, Banana-Mango Ketchup), count on serving about 1/3 cup to each person.
