How do you like your steak?

[DainBramaged]

Medium Rare here. I like to think that I am a carniverous creature eating something almost still alive. So hot.

I don't see how anyone eats it "well done". That cooks all the flavor out of the thing.

LOL, IMO, it doesn't really have much taste until it gets at least medium well. I don't want any pink in it at all. If you cook it right, it's not all burned up, or dried up, it's just DONE.

Rare! :heart:

Medium for me.

However, whenever I go out to a steakhouse with my folks, I have to get well-done, because they get nervous if I don't get the meat burnt.

I like it medium rare, but I always say medium so that it comes out medium rare. I looks like it's still mooing if I just say medium rare.

 

[Cheezeit]

medium well

 

[CraigRT]

medium-medium well.

 

[BurnItDwn]

A good high quality cut, I'll eat medium, though a cheap grocery store steak, usually medium well.

 

[skace]

I hate steak

 

[eLiu]

still bleeding

Rare for steaks - seared on the outside, as long as it's at least warmed through the inside I'm happy as a pig in sh1t!

Medium rare for burgers

One of the all time funniest family stories ever relates to rare steaks....parents took me out for dinner for my birthday when I was 5 or 6 yrs old. Waitress is taking orders, after folks ordered waitress says "And what would you like for dinner young man" According to my mom & dad...I don't recall the incident, my response was "Give me a steak and make it bloody". Waitress looking appalled at my parents, mom replies "It's his birthday...give him what he wants"

I can't stand rare beef, it's tasteless and mushy. I want it grey all the way through and "solid". My dad would literally eat it raw. Yuck..

i like mine like this or black and blue...

there is actually a difference

black and blue usually has extra seasoning on the outside...
it actually sounds worst than it looks... but its real good this way...

anything above medium = chewy + dry = better off having a burger cause u just wasted a steak...

My sister used to be a waitress at a steak house, she said ~85% of the time people requested medium-well, ~5% requested medium or less, ~10% requested it well done.

edit: Medium well for me too, I don't like the taste of blood.

did she also tell u 99% of employees who ate well would switch to med-rare after a period of time? lolz i used to work for outback steakhouse... life was great!

A few years ago, my wife got e-coli from beef, suffered incredibly, nearly died, and now I'm extremely paranoid about undercooked cow.

You cannot get E-coli from a medium rare - medium steak. The bacteria cannot penetrate the meat.

Ground beef must be cooked all the way through because every part of it has been exposed all the way through. Steak, on the other hand, has not. Only the surface must reach the ideal temp of 160F (and it does so in seconds on a grill).

You're wasting good meat for nothing.

wow good point... got sources? lolz

Medium-Well....always

But when at BBQs with people who buy medicure cuts, I'll take medium.

If it's not at least pink most of the way through, you've ruined a good steak.

i've never understood that. sure, it may drown out the taste of the beef when you submerge your steak in steak sauce, but how is a change in flavor a waste of food? for me, it's about variety.

sometimes i miss the taste of A1, and i have some on the side when i grill up a steak.

because now u just killed whatever flavor of the juicy beef...

ex: when u eat a prime steak (as opposed to choice or select) and drench or even marinade it in a1.. the acidity kills the taste of what would have been sweetness oozing out of the steak

 

[MeanMeosh]

non-cowey, i'm a vegetarian

that said, if i ever ate meat, i'd eat it well done. smells the best, imo.

Because everything tastes the same with A1. The only thing that would be different is the texture. You can soak some bread in A1 and still have the same "flavor". Only thing different is the texture.

au contraire... you have it backwards A1 overwhelms the original taste of anything it touches... think about how many different peppers/spices are in a1 steaksauce .... the texture is slightly changed when put on a steak... (maybe diff on bread) but the steak texture will be pretty much the same unless ur eating like a bottle of A1 for a 2 ounce kids steak.. zzz
