rare, medium, well

[jokerjkny]

Burnt to a crisp

funny,

but its AMAZING how many restaurants have no idea how to properly char the outside, yet leave the inside beautifully medium for me.

its a travesty, especially when its $56 (for 2) down the drain.

Midrare for steaks, medium for burgers.

A funny story: Every once in a while, a customer will come in to where I work at and want an extremely well done burger. This is actually quite fun. We have come up with some really good ways to burn the crap out of a burger. The best: grill to well done, microwave for three minutes, deep fry for five. A piece of meat that was once a half pound of nice, raw red meat is now about two ounces of dust.

And then there is the XTREME wing sauce we made for a guy yesterday...

 

[jokerjkny]

Well done. Very well. mmmmm burnt meat.
Probably because my dad was born in a 3rd world country and they always cooked their meat extra well done and he carried that tradition to US.

hmm... cancer waiting to happen?

 

[jokerjkny]

No offense, but is there really a difference? I'm sorry, but *** is a shrimp, but a friggin' disgusting sea cockroach anyway? I think you start splitting hairs like that, and you might as well just order the steak...

hmm... one lives under the dumpster out back gorging on whatever the world cannot stomach, while the other was farm raised somewhere in the gulf coast.

me thinks there is a difference.

Rare, very rare... sometimes if I am in steakhouse I go "you know when you serve rare steak... I want it rarer then that".

 

[morf]

Rare

 

[dlloyd]

Blue, if it's good quality steak.

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

Extremely rare.
"Bleu" as they say in France.

 

[mike phillips]

burnt charcoal all the way.

In some states, they dont let you order a burger cooked "rare," right?

south carolina is one of those states. i WONT eat a burger at any resturant. they KILL it. if it aint red, raw and doesnt have blood drippin from it, i aint eatin it.

 

[plexibass]

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

diggler is the freakin man!!!! same with me. if you could just show the steak to the fire, walk it by the fire or just tell the steak that there is a fire but dont put it on the fire, thats how i like it. and then, slather it in horseradish sauce......mmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[guy n. cognito]

Steak= medium rare
Burger=medium well

Since the bacteria that causes digestive issues lives on the surface of meat, I don't ever eat raw ground meat is a restaurant. The only time I eat a burger medium or less is when I grind the meat myself at home.

 

[plexibass]

to all the tbers who live in texas, more specifically dallas [i think]. a few years ago i saw a story on tv about a restaurant where you could order a 3lb steak. if you finish it, you eat for free. if not it will cost you 50.00. anyone know what the name of the place is called. there is no way i could eat that piece of meat but it would be fun trying!!!

 

[DaveDeVille]

i " rarely " eat steak ...
but it would have to be medium well ...

burgers or dogs ?
throw 'em on the grille and leave 'em on till the
fire burns it's self out ...
i like mine well done .

Well done, but not burnt.

It can be done if you cook it yourself.

I ain't eatin' nothin' with blood dripping out of it.

Shrimp eat diatoms, plankton and/or detritus (dead material). So they both eating the equivalent of what the other is.


On topic: I prefer all my meat cooked medium.

This is a great point, and is how I cook my stuff. I would get into debates with a guy I used to work with who would insist that he always got 'well done' steaks because he 'didn't want to get sick.' I tried to explain to him that cows have an immune system and there is no bacteria in steak except for on the surface, and it's killed during cooking. The only way would be if it had a blood-borne bacterial infection.

He wouldn't even try cole slaw on his pulled pork sammiches either, so I have written him off as an official girlie-man.

I do cook my burgers to 160º though. On that note, to anyone who cooks meat... to do it right you MUST have a digital thermometer! Meat keeps cooking itself when you take it off of the grill... if you cook it until it looks done, you've cooked it too long. Get it just to the target temperature and get it off of there.

Pink on the inside, dunno what the correct word is.

 

[BassGod]

Medium rare, grilled Chicago style.

Blue steak is also fun, if prepared properly.
