Ugh this thread again? Go search and you'll find dozens of threads on this already.

Beyond well done. Brown all the way through, and black crusty edges.

It better have some pink in the middle, or you're not doing it right. All those wussy "eww! eww! It's gots bloods in it!" are idiots. That grey meat you're eating is burned blood anyway.

More and more medium-rare in restaurants is too cooked through. Somewhere between medium-rare and rare is the way to go

Pretty well done actually; sometimes I'll spice it up with some A1 Sauce.

If you are talking about the thread i think you are talking about, that was NOT medium well. It was beyond well done, what i call "ruined."

Each cut has its nuances in preparation and approach, but generally a good steak is ready at 130-135F (about middle range of medium rare). A good quality, fatty roast, about the same.

For steaks it's med-rare.
For a real roast it's low and slow but I've never done an actual temp check to see what it's actually to.

Steak - Medium. Medium rare and below aren't textured right for me. I like a hot light pink center that's actually textured like cooked meat.

Roast - It goes in the crock pot for x hours, so who cares. It always comes out brown all the way through and delicious.

Definitely this.

Though this actually works out pretty well for me. I'd prefer medium rare, and erring on the side of medium is quite ok, but giving me rare is not. They almost never seem to undercook, so medium rare generally gives me something that's anywhere between medium rare and medium.
Btw, that's why some people order rare+. I guess medium-rare+ is something I'd really want.

Steak or Beef roast?

Two totally different meals and and proper cook for both is completely different.
