Far from it. I was always served well done meat growing up. Undercooked steak is unappealing to me. I can choke down something medium if I have to.

yep. that's the problem. Not sure how long it's been since you ventured out of your assumed comfort zone, but I assure you that your taste buds have matured since childhood. It's only natural.

Probably didn't like "bitter," either? You might like it now. Same with pickles and such.

I've been served undercooked steaks at relatives houses or when restaurants don't get it right. I don't like it at all. It grosses me out the same as eating chicken that's pink in the middle.

Not sure what you are referring too with "bitter".

My diner is bulgogi although it is leftovers.
So even with it being leftovers I probably beat you. :p

That is a really good looking steak though.

pink but not bleeding is fine by me. looks like the cooking in the middle was very even.

Its interesting that you guys seem to treat steaks the same as a roast when determining the "well doneness" of it.

I'll prefer a steak medium rare to rare but I'd never have a roast at that undercookedness.

looks very yummy. What kind of cut is that though?
Standing rib roast, equivalent of upper-end USDA Choice, bones removed prior to serving. The rib cap was also removed as I did not want to serve any gristle, which is why it looks oval instead of roundish.

Uh, I didn't waste that meat though. I took out the gristle, chopped up the rest, and pan-fried it as a cook's treat.

He is eating it like a steak, and that's from a better cut of meat.

For instance I like prime rib to look like that, despite the fact it is a rib roast.

Edit: And hey it turns out it is that. :p

:thumbsup: Good call.

But a steak is cooked on the sides as well so you get some charring and fully cooked bits as well.

What hes serving is just warm raw meat. Which is fine if thats what you like but its not the same as a rare steak.

I don't understand how people can eat a burnt piece of steak. I'm guessing you don't like taste.

The outside was charred.

although i dont really eat flesh anymore thats how i would eat it when i did.

FYI: well done steak is a lot less nutritional and actually a lot less healthy... same goes for veggies/fruits.
