Medium rare steaks are disgusting

[uhohs]

Well done for me. I prefer burnt edges but I'm super picky about steaks, most places like Texas Roadhouse or Outback don't come close to the cuts certain butchers get and a good smoker. Otherwise I won't eat steak.

As if any restaurant would give you a good cut after you ask for Well Done.

lol.

Son, there's something seriously wrong with you.

All the restaurants I used to work for sure did. Everyone got the same crap.

It's a troll thread.

There is no one on the entire planet who would agree with the OP.

He's just playing with us.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I get that it's personal preference, but why is he acting like it's an age thing? He's confused.

I like my eggs runny in some cases, hard in others.

I like my steaks medium with a little pink ;p never got into rare.

what about fish then? how about ikura with quail egg on top.. yummmmm

Yeeeeeeggh !!!

:barf:

Disgusting, meat must be well done. Best fun is chewing a good well done steak. Putting those sharp pointy premolars at work. 😎

Medium rare is disgusting to me, but TETO, I always ask for medium-well butterfly cut.

This is slimy.

Raw beef is nothing like that, much less medium rare.

There's a reason many high-end steak restaurants REFUSE to cook a steak more than medium: You might as well throw away a perfectly good piece of meat.

Medium-rare for me. Well cooked steak.....ROFL. May as well just by some $1 beef jerky.

I eat Medium Rare. That said, I am a bit squeamish around rare sometimes. Though I'll scarf prime rib if it's rare.

My GF was afraid of rare for awhile, until I forced her to try it after a length explanation of why it wasn't tainted and how Mad Cow disease isn't able to be cooked out anyway.

She won't go above medium rare now.

It makes the meat slimy and tough to chew. I don't like slimy, I want something substantial I can bite into.

I hate gooey, lifeless food in general and don't understand people who eat undercooked eggs.

If the meat is green don't even cook it. I've never personally seen a steak that could be described as slimey.


This sounds like a case of "your doing it wrong"

Pretty sure you've never had a good steak in your life...

This. Another person that never had a good steak in their life.

I always assumed they kept a bucket of trash meat next to the garbage can to use to accommodate any well-done requests.

Grounds for instant man card revocation.

They do, what's his face from No Reservations on food network confirmed it.

Most places will bring your steak with a bottle of A1 if you order it well done.

I'll eat the occasional steak but it's not my dinner of choice. Eating the same texture (with or without steak sauce) bite after bite is just not appealing really.

I've seen medium rare as both slimy and not slimy. I can't stomach slimy (like fat) so it would not be a pleasant meal. Much like eating insects from the ocean, aka most seafood.

That's why you have a ribeye and eat bits of the fat with the meat for variety. So much flavor.

Fat is what makes every piece of meat better. I hate pork because the whole "omg bacon is bad for you" garbage has caused all pork (except for bacon...) to have all the fat lipo'd from the pig before slaughter. Thanks! Just want I wanted, a dry tasteless piece of meat. Might as well cook it well done.

I used to stand by medium all my life.

Getting used to grilling and cast iron steak cooking, I've had many successes and failures in getting "the right cook". I've both burned, undercooked, and when discovered it was undercooked, threw back on the heat and ended up going past what I wanted.

I've had to choke down some dry steak and chicken due to my learning adventures. 🙁

Recently though, I managed to find a good time on some tenderloin filets on the cast iron that led to what appeared to be a nearly perfect med-rare for bacon-wrapped filets (about 2" thick?). I also experimented with a steakhouse seasoning grinder (three varieties of peppercorn, red pepper, sea salt, and garlic and onion powders) and some high-heat quality canola oil (not supposed to smoke/polymerize until 450ºF). And no, I did not butterfly it. D:
It was beyond dripping with delicious juicyness, was nice and red right in the middle, cut with ease and chewed most especially NOT like slime but rather like butter. I mean, I really didn't need to chew. I could have mashed it down just fine without teeth.
That's my kind of steak. I'll work in the prep - I don't want to work my jaw during the eating session. If my jaw is tired from chewing when eating cooked food, something isn't right.
Well done steak... I need some water thinking of it.

[Yes, anyone who is good at searing can create a well-done steak that's not dry - but it will never match the tender juiciness of a steak not cooked to hell and back.]


I'm actually going to hopefully repeat this performance tonight with 2x 6oz filets. So excited.

Hell, I'm mainly just excited to get the oven going. It's absolutely frigid in the apartment (terribly insulated), and the furnace can't get the temperature anywhere close to where we want it (it's set above 75ºF currently, and is roughly 62ºF in here).

I'm going to see if keeping the oven a touch under 450 will help prevent the smoke alarms going off. I'm not opening the door and propping a fan in there to prevent that shrieking this time - I'll put up with that, I just want the added heat in the apartment. 😀
and then good eats while I enjoy said heat.
I'm a wimp, I don't care - I cannot stand shivering, but I can't quit. 🙁

What do you eat then? A thirteen course meal?
