What, with flavor? Rare all the way. I went to a fancy steakhouse and my porterhouse was almost medium. I seriously could barely eat it, and when the brought out the replacement purple hunk of deliciousness I devoured it.

that just points out how picky an eater you are. so picky you cant eat other peoples food when they have it the way THEY want it. im not picky. i like mine rare to med rare, but if it comes in almost medium i dont care. if im at someones house and they all come out med well to well but are cooked nicely, i dont care. the flavor can still exist in brown meat, youre (and apparently lots of others here) are a meat snob. get off your high cow and stfu

That's not being picky at all. I wont eat food if it doesn't taste good. And yes, I'd have trouble downing a medium cooked steak anywhere. If I'm at someone's house for steak, I'll warn them ahead of time that I want mine rare. I don't know anyone that cooks steak that doesn't ask how everyone wants theirs done.

And when I'm buying a $50 porterhouse and ask for rare, I expect rare. How is that being a snob?

I'd rather my ribeye not to be swimming in blood, nor when I stab a fork in it(that is allowed, right steak snobs?) that it squirts me with blood in the eye. I guess alot of people don't know how to cook a steak past medium rare. On a rare/medium rare ribeye, how does the fat even get cooked into the steak?

During the training period you get to eat anything on the menu every shift for free. I ate like a king for a week... filets, ny strips, and ribeyes every night.

Now, every time I take an order for a med-well or well done steak, I die a little inside.

I mean seriously, what kind of jerk wants to spend $30+ to waste a perfectly tasty piece of meat? Do they really think that dried out, charred husk of a steak tastes any good?

Er...as long as they are spending their money, let them order it burnt. It is their taste, and as much as it seems wrong, their choice. I like a medium-rare steak burned crisp on the outside, bleeding inside.

These idiots fall into the same category as Bose buyers, people who like Cerwin-Vega, people who chill red wine to 45F, people who say supposebly, people who think the Olive Garden is Italian food, people who think speaker cable is worth more than $1 a foot, and everyone else on any forum but yourself - they are all complete morons who don't know the right choice. But you already knew that. Well Done?

You can serve a very rare steak and have it not be a bloody mess. It seems as though all of the medium to well crowd are the fucking snobs in this thread.

Everytime I see my gf put some icecubes in her red wine I want to go chris brown on her.

At least she enjoys a bloody rib eye though.

Or perhaps they've just grown weary of all the detritus the steak nazis spew?
I haven't really seen any of them saying that everyone who doesn't eat it medium to well is a fool.

Ice cubes? In wine?
Now that's a new one for me.

it would be snobbish if out of those other people 3 or 4 of them said "make it dark, no pink is da bomb!" and you spouted off about how much of a waste their choice was, that they knew nothing and were wasting a steak by overcooking it. ive never cooked steaks for a group without asking them how they want it done, but ive been to other cookouts where there was no real choice. not that big a deal to me either way.

Hmm, apparently your reading comprehension blows because nowhere did I mention how other people should eat there steaks. I simply mentioned repeatedly that I, as in me, do not like the taste of a steak cooked past medium rare.

You can eat feces for dinner and enjoy the crap out of it. Doesn't mean that I'll ever like it.

Yet I've been called picky, and now a snob. Maybe you should get it through your skull that I don't give a fuck about you. A snob would care what other people think, because they would act in a manner that they feel is better then the average person. But I don't care my steak choices are popular or common or anything like that at all. I know what I like, and I'm open to new things, but I'll take my steak rare please.

I've had my fair share of steaks done rare. After getting sick a few times, I always get it medium or medium well now. Medium rare if its a place I trust or if I know that its fresh from the butcher. No supermarket or costco shit. Most restaurants are dirty as hell and I wouldn't trust their preparation for rare meat.

Can you explain to me how bacteria will get on the inside of a cut of meat then? If it's from a good source, then all the bacteria will be external, hence the need to only cook the outside of the meat and leave the inside rare. Ground beef presents a problem, because it takes the outside of the meat (which is where the bacteria is) and grinds it throughout all of the meat.
