How do ya like your steak?

Medium Rare for me, and thats a touch too well done. If i'm at a real steakhouse I'll order medium rare, and if i'm at a chain type restaurant, I order rare because they always overcook.

I personally think any steak over MR is burned and pointless, but I know people who need to have it well done.

So...

Oh, just knock its horns off, wipe its nasty ass, and chunk it right here on this plate.
Walk it through a warm room and hand it to me

Burned on the outside, cool very rare center. I think they call it "Pittsburg"

that's the name for it, and it's very nice. If I can't get it that way, I take it rare, with a warm red center at the most done.

anecdotally, my friend went to a steakhouse, and ordered a rare delmonico. It came out well done, and he sent it back. The waitress and manager got really pissy with him, claiming that it was cooked correctly (how a rare steak can come out brown all the way through is beyond me) and brought a steak out a few minutes later. It was basically laid on the grill for about 20 seconds each side.

She says all snooty like, "is that rare enough?" He cuts into it, blood pools all over his plate, takes a bite and says, "its cold in the middle...that is PERFECT." She gagged. He finished (and REALLY enjoyed) the steak.

Rare! Browned on both sides and slightly warm in the middle.

Med Rare just like Ender,and same method of ordering also.

Medium well. I got too many bad steaks at medium rare. I don't trust them to cook it right, even if it is a renowned steakhouse.

**Buttercup** · 03-30-08, 07:56 AM

Medium, although I do love raw beef dishes like carpaccio and steak tartare.

**jmur5074** · 03-30-08, 08:15 AM

Medium well.

I order all my red meat med rare.

The fact that you call well done hockey puck is funny as hell. That's what I used to call it when customers ordered a steak well done. It use to piss me off when someone ordered a hockey puck.

It depends on the place but I love my steaks Very rare. I have to work my way down to Rare when I go to a new steak house usually starting at med.

I like to eat steak, but i don't like how I feel after eating steak. Well, any read meat for that matter. My body doens't digest it well for some reason.
