How do ATOTers Order Their Steak?

[ultimatebob]

Alton Brown says that the best way to cook a steak is Medium Rare. I'm not going to argue with the master

Somewhere between medium rare and medium. I usually ask for it to be medium rare, because in my experience, restaurants always overcook my food a bit.

Oddly enough, the steakhouses that I go to seem to undercook the steak a bit. When I order medium rare, I often get something closer to rare.

If you ever order well-done you are wasting your time eating/paying for steak. Just pull the sole off your shoe and ask them to heat it up for you. Cheaper and has the same consistency.

Not if the person actually knows how to cook a steak well done. It's entirely possible for a steak to be well done, yet be tender and juicy.

Shens.

I counter your shens with a SRSLY.

I'm not a big fan of steak, but when I do eat it, I prefer medium-rare.

I'd never actually had anything but medium/medium-well until college. My parents always cooked it that way which is probably why I didn't care for steak too much. I finally tried medium-rare a couple years ago and now I love steak.
