Asparagus has already been mentioned, numerous times, which is fitting; THE classic sauce to accompany asparagus is Hollandaise.
Hollandaise is made primarily of butter, egg yolk, and lemon juice; in most cases, it's also spiked with a little heat, in the form of ground hot chilis, or a dash of hot sauce (such as Tabasco). Since it's got a mild acidity (and usually some background heat) to it, it's suitable for pretty much any vegetable. Aside from asparagus, it's great on broccoli, carrots, and even boiled potatoes.
As for meats: Hollandaise will go well with anything that has a naturally mild flavor. Poached or steamed fish, or chicken, are good examples. And the basic Hollandaise can be augmented or adjusted in a great many ways. For example, Bavaroise sauce is a basic Hollandaise to which horseradish and cream (and usually some fresh herbs) have been added. This adjusted sauce is now a perfect accompaniment to more hearty-flavored meats, like beef and venison.

I once had a dish at a restaurant with stuffed flounder over a hollandaise sauce. I would imagine any steak or seafood would be delicious with it!

Try it on steamed vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, carrots, snap peas.
Also, try it over roast beef (otherwise unflavored).
