A lot of fear of rare-type meat is that the redness is from the blood. I remember reading somewhere, though I don't have the source, that the red color is related to some from of nitrite in placed in the meat. But isn't the redness also the color of the myoglobin in the meat? How much actually blood product is an a butchered piece of meat?
I don't like my steak to be red and dripping. It's a mental block, and I'm not going to get over it anytime soon.
I order mine medium well when I am at a good steak house, and there is a smidge of pink, which is a lot for me, since I used to refuse to eat steak with anything pink inside.
Heck, I was over at my parents this weekend, and my mom made steaks. The one I grabbed was between medium and medium well, and it freaked me out, so I stuck it in the microwave for a minute. That might be blasphemy, but I enjoyed it once the pink/red was gone.

I'll have mine extra well done. Can you also bring a bottle of A1 sauce... oh and ketchup if you have any. Thanks
You are 100% correct sir.
everyone in the kitchen is told to save the older pieces for well cooked meals... and give the newest pieces to those who want R/MR.

Well done steak eaters are pussies or have way too many mental hangups. It's like people who shudder when they drink milk because they can't stop thinking about how they're drinking another mammal's baby food or picture the udder all squrting and shit. Face it, you're a filty animal whether you like or not. And if you think that well done meat tastes fine, you either have dead taste buds or like seriously bland food. And if meat that is a little pink tastes "bad" to you, then wtf are you doing ordering steak? IT'S MEAT.
Medium is fine. But well done? That's like buying a dozen roses for your girlfriend and insisting that the florist squeeze the fragrance out and paint them grey.

Exactly. There seems to be a glut of incompetent chefs out there who just aren't even willing to try to cook a well done steak properly.
BS. You've only been served by chefs who don't know how to cook well done. It's all this steak nazi-ism. Like other posters have said, some idiot chefs will give you a bad piece of meat because they're steak nazis and don't care how YOU want your food--what makes you think they're going to bother trying to cook it well if they won't even bother to give you a good steak?
Modified from a Dennis Leary quote. Basically, "just gimme the whole cow... I'll carve off what I want and ride the rest home."
"Wipe it's ass and knock off the horns. I'll do the rest."
Yadda yadda yadda, real men eat rare steak, yadda yadda yadda.
I usually order mine medium or medium well, depending on the tendencies of the steakhouse.
My wife likes her steak done well done. Effing shame. I make nice ribeyes or T-Bones at home for myself and get her a half pound sirloin and burn the shit out of it hehe. Not going to waste a beautiful piece of meat by turning it into charcoal.
I apologize on behalf of black people everywhere. FWIW, I have personally converted my mother to Medium Rare. *
I remember not liking steak as a child because my mother would always order it well done for me.. It wasn't until I tried a filet mignon at my highschool cooking class that was prepared rare that my eyes were opened.
*does it sound like I cooked my mother here? That's not what I did, honest
Damn! Never knew costco had "kobe beef"
One of my friends is a chef at a place that sells real kobe... costs $20 an ounce... Minimum 3 ounce order.
