Easy to play against early/mid position raises, but how about against steels?

You can't really play for set value as villains range is so wide you only have a small chance of getting paid off. I'm not folding as I most likely have the best hand. Calling leaves you playing a flop that will more often than not have overs and against a very wide range that will very likely cbet with you having very little idea of villains hand. 3betting has always been my favoured move here but I often see players better than myself criticising this.

So what's peoples general thoughts?
