rare, medium, well

[mike phillips]

Gotta have rare, you need that blood spreading all over the plate and adding the taste of steak to the rest of the meal.

your my hero. i couldnt have said it any better

 

[Diggler]

Medium rare. But if it's undercooked, I never send it back. I like poking it with my fork and watching it twitch.

If you go into a steakhouse and ask for well done, they WILL give you a lesser cut of beef, since you won't be able to tell the difference anyways.

I don't mind the blood on my plate, but for some reason it's kind of gross when it mixes with the mashed potaties.

Medium Well most of the time. Depends on my mood.

 

[Vox Populi]

I like my meat cooked, thank you. Even in expensive establishments, I order well done. I know it's bad form, but if they didn't want me to order a cooked steak, why did they give me the option?

Anyway, I like it tough and dry with lots of spice. Sue me.

 

[Josh Ryan]

If I'm in the US I'll eat rare.

Abroad, including Canada and Mexico, well done only. Can't be too careful.

Yep, and only good places in the US. Otherwise I get the fish, or maybe the chicken, or even the tofu. I do not like well done at all. I agree with the blood guy, it really does taste good.

 

[Roland777]

Can't say I have any preference. As long as it's a good cut, I'll eat it - nevermind rare, medium or well-done.

Rare to medium-rare.

 

[superbassman2000]

[Dave Siff]

Medium well.

Medium rare, unless it's sushi-grade tuna, then DON'T RUIN IT BY COOKING IT!

You're right about the tuna. Don't even bother putting on the counter next to the oven.

As a reformed vegan of 6+ years, I'd like to happily report rare or medium rare. I don't tend to go to dicey places for carnivorous purposes so I have no stress. Around here, I go to a german butcher shop known for the quality of their meat and hand made sausage.

I like it medium...but just about every place you go to overcooks steak by one notch. I order medium rare, and I get medium 95% of the time. On that occasion that I actually get it medium rare, I just deal with it...it's still better than overcooked.

BTW: Outback is one of the places that actually cooks things to proper doneness.

 

[Phil Mastro]

rare.

 

[MikeyFingers]

I like it medium-well. Fully cooked outside, but still some juicy pinkness in the middle.

 

[beaglesandbass]

medium rare

 

[The Golden Boy]

Medium Rare to Medium.

 

[Diggler]

Cut off its horns, wipe its ***, and throw it on the plate!

 

[FrigginChris]

medium rare

 

[AuG]

What do you think I want this is America gimme a bowl of raw red meat right now! Forget about that! Bring me a live cow over to the table. I'll carve off what I want, and ride the rest home.

Seriously, med. rare to medium.

 

[jrthebassguy]

Medium to medium-rare, depending on the place.


Once I ordered rare at a Japanese restaurant and the thing was so cold it was still mooing at me. I learned my lesson.
