I'll eat it anywhere from rare to medium-well and like it, but right around medium/medium-rare is perfect.

Double D · 05-04-2007, 03:01 PM

Medium-well

ABCs · 05-04-2007, 09:20 PM

Between medium and medium well. I don't like it bleeding still on my plate but I also don't like it tasting like a frigg'n rock.

Same way I like my burgers.

**IainDaniel** · 05-06-2007, 07:02 AM

I never understood why people order Medium well or more cooked. Might as well order a piece of cardboard.

Medium Rare, but have eaten raw beef before.

Witchblade · 05-06-2007, 07:51 AM

A good cook should be able to make a medium-well or even well-done steak without it being too dry or tasting like cardboard.

It's like I said, if a person orders their steak well-done, they don't really like steak.

those people should stick to steak. chicken fried fried steak that is

DOMS · 05-06-2007, 10:39 AM

I use to order my steaks well-done, but then I realized I was just a hamburger guy.

It wasn't until I started to move down on the cooking chart that I discovered what steak really tastes like.

Now, depending on the steak, I take it medium or medium-rare.

Gotta be partially mooing still for me.

leg_press · 05-06-2007, 03:28 PM

Used to have my steak well done, but it made me jaw ache, at a cousins wedding it was 'medium or nothing' and I loved it, so medium all the way

vortrit · 05-06-2007, 08:03 PM

I'm cooking my sunday steak right now!

rmcfar · 05-06-2007, 08:06 PM

if you eat your steak well done and with BBQ sauce of any sort on it you should stop eating steak all together

ask a chef (not the guy at the local sizzler) how a steak is supposed to be eaten and they will say no more cooked then med, and with very basic seasoning

i guess i am from alberta and have never put a steak in my mouth that is below AAA, so i have a slightly tainted view...

I don't put anything on my steak. Not even salt or pepper.

fufu · 05-06-2007, 09:55 PM

Medium. If it is a filet mignon, maybe medium rare.

I hope that wasn't too confusing for you.

I am aware chicken has different properties than steak. I am just saying that people have different tastes and I think it's rather a pride issue when you say you like it rare and anyone who doesn't like it the way you do is fooling themselves. Are you right about everything?

I cook my own steak all the time, cook it medium or medium-well and if you know how to do it right like I do, you'll be very pleased with it and not even consider putting any sort of liquid sodium bomb on it (sauce). I've eaten rare steak and I thought it was very akward tasting. Didn't look right, didn't feel right when I was chewing it... forget it.

Also I hope you all are cooking your burgers all the way through, once meat is ground up you have to cook it 100% to kill any bacteria that may be present.

The simple truth of it is that if you cook a steak too much, you've killed most of the flavor and you might as well just eat hamburger. And I don't like raw steak either. I don't like the texture and I also don't like the fact that the French do it.

I usually cook them to medium-well and I've never gotten ill from it. Hell, I ate at Jack in the Box during the ecoli scare, and still didn't get ill.

Plateau_Max · 05-07-2007, 10:49 AM

Ick, Jack in the Box... I looooved that stuff back when used to eat fast food. Ah fond memories of eating 8 super-tacos... back when they were still called super-tacos.

Yeah but seriously dude, my steak tastes amazing how can you say I've killed the flavor? I do cook medium sometimes too, a slight bit of pink in the middle doesn't bother me but more pink/red than brown does. I don't like the texture and I'm very health minded which includes risk of disease.

You can be right without everyone else being wrong, that's all I'm saying.

**IainDaniel** · 05-07-2007, 10:50 AM

Nope he is right. Anything more then Medium Rare is Wrong

Plateau_Max · 05-07-2007, 10:54 AM

*sigh* hopeless

JerseyDevil · 05-07-2007, 12:32 PM

Medium rare for sure. Mmmm, filet mignon.
