QFT: I was raised on Round steak, always well done, with Worcestershire sauce.
These tastes seem to stick with you throughout the years. Round steak has the flavor I prefer, but it is SOOO tough!
That said, I do like my lesser quality cuts well done, but prefer Prime Rib, Filet Mignon, and New York Strip med. rare. (Still like the Worcestershire on the strip sometimes, though 🙂 )

It's always a big debate when I have meat. I love worcestershire, or hot sauce on it, and it's a huge internal debate every time as to which it will be :^D

i think the problem is that a lot of customers don't understand proper terminology. they order medium rare expecting medium.

Everyone is entitled to eat their steak however they like but, a long career cooking all over the country has taught me that race and region play a big part in a diner's preference.

Ill be labeled racist, or something...

However, in my life time, i have met about 3 black people who will go anywhere near medium or less... they just go well-done or med-well ALWAYS, even on prime ribs... i cringed so bad when i used to take those orders.

You like your steak with a drizzle of racism and a xenophobia sauce?

You do realize that the vast majority of restaurant kitchens in the US, even the high-end ones, are staffed almost entirely by immigrant workers from Central and South America don't you? That's not racist, that's fact. It doesn't matter if you're eating steak, Italian, Chinese, or Napa haute odds are your food was cooked by someone from Panama or Chile or Paraguay or a neighboring country.
 
Here's how I like my prime rib

and in Mexico you just say a fraction of how much you want it cooked, like 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, full so this is how they cook it when you say 1/4

I ate it and liked it, but it was a little more rare than I prefer

I've been in several nice to VERY nice restaurant kitchens around these parts... I don't recall any Latin workers except for the busboys.
 
I usually order medium. If they f*ck up and give me medium rare or medium well, that's ok, but undercooked medium rare is not. If I cook it myself, I go for medium rare erring on the medium side.

You do realize that the vast majority of your comment was concerning race? That's fact. The reason your comment is racist is because the fact of the ethnicity of the people working in kitchens had ZERO to do with your supposedly main point, which was that the reason a steak is served rare is due to the time savings of the cooks. If your point were valid (which it's not by the way) the ethnicity of the cooks would have no bearing on why they are serving steaks rare; their ethnicity is completely extraneous to their motives. HOWEVER, in mentioning their ethnicity as you do in your post, you insinuate that perhaps other ethnicities would not be in such a hurry and therefore cook your steak properly. Basically you made a weakly veiled racist comment stating your belief is that steaks are undercooked because immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, or Peru, are lazy assholes. On top of that you proclaimed that those of us who enjoy our meat properly cooked, rare in the case of a quality cut, are dupes. Not only have you insulted our intelligence with your paper-thin witticism on race, you have insulted our very meat savvy! Fortunately for most of us we possess the 14 or so brain cells required to see through your hubris-laden opinion, and some of us even have the 35 living brain cells required to expose your silly post’s subtext. Looks like you’re the asshole.

A little while back did a to-go order of a couple of steak dinners from Appleb or Chilis. Ordered medium for my wife & medium well for me. Went home and we got ready to eat & watch a movie. Her's had a plastic pick that plainly said medium on it, but looking at that chart is was rare and mine was medium rare at most.
