How Do You Like Your Steak?

kalvort, it's more of a health issue with ground meat.

Health issues? Most likely eating any meat at all has health issues. Just like smoking a pipe.

One thing I love about France is they know how to cook a steak over there. Try ordering anything else but rare and it doesn't matter - the chef will give you rare. The French don't piss around when it comes to food.

;-) I won't cook anyone a steak that asks for it well done
I just let them know I have some old tires out back and I

will slice a little of that off and put on their plate if they like....
Lmao

Me: Medium Rare

Wife: Well Done

Parents: 2 degrees over farm kill - the blood on the plate makes my wife gag - therefore when the folks come, it's Salmon.

Ah, but do they even bother to ask? That's my point, I don't like it overcooked either, some do, but certainly don't bother asking how people want it cooked if you have no intention of honoring that!

First set the nice thick steak in a glass container over night smoothered in beer with some lemon juice, and garlic. Then get the grill nice and hot with red oak wood not charcoal when the wood is ready place one large sassafras root that has been soaking in ice cold water over night on the hot coals. Place steak immediately on the grill to sear then flip the steak. It should have seven color layers equally layered . A nice dark carmelized layer , a tan layer, a pink layer, and a red layer.

I'm fixin to go grill an 1-1/2in thick monster! It'll be somewhere around medium to medium rare. My wife's will be well done. Blasphemous !

Med rare for me. However, as mentioned earlier, it depends on the cut of beef.
Whenever someone wants a well done steak/burger, I tell them to wake me up when you want it. I hate ruining meat on the grill.

 

[oldredbeard]

Ribeye with some nice marble in the middle, medium rare. I also agree if the steak is any good, you don't need any sauces.

 

[lincolnsbark]

medium rare

 

[smokeystover]

Medium well, unless I knew the cow personally

 

[pstlpkr]

I'll hit this one again....

Rare....

Unless I have to stick it in a Vampire. :nana:

Then I want that one... done well. :D

 

[cajundad]

In my opinion , a good cut of steak that's cooked past medium , was ruined !

 

[rhogg]

The quicker the better.... seared and red in the middle.

 

[roadqueen]

Raw/rare. I like mine almost but not quite browned on the outside. If it's warm enough to bleed, it's overcooked!
In fact, if the sides are browned, it's probably too done for my taste.

 

[igloo]

Bone in 24oz Ribeye over super red hot coals juices seared in and pink the middle .

 

[foggymountain]

I prefer mine cooked. It has been quite a few lifetimes since I ate raw meat (except steak tartare, which is raw meat and I have eaten it in France in this lifetime). And with L&P and Tabasco.

When I first met my wife she didn't like steak and when she did have it she insisted on it being well done, just like her parents. A few months after we started dating I took her to a fancy steakhouse in Vegas. She tried to order her steak well done and I intervened and ordered it medium rare - told her it was a complete embarrassment to order a well done steak in a fine steakhouse. She was really pissed at me. Guess what? She loved it. Now she eats it rare and likes her steak even bloodier than I do.
Her parents still eat it well done, which I refuse to cook, so we have chicken when they come over.
