medium rare is the only right answer

this guy gets it. y'all fucking ruining your steaks and it saddens me.

 

[terrisus]

don't work, terrisus

Attempts is plural. Actually should it have been didn't? Hmm

Yeah, you're right, it should be "didn't."

That's my cue that I need to go to sleep >.>

 

[Wyndstryker]

Medium well, had a bad experience with medium in the past.

Well done though...thats killing the animal twice.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Well done. With a decent amount of char on it. I find both the taste and texture of medium to rare meat utterly repulsive. Rare triggers gag reflex.

Burnt to a crisp.

Spoiler

In before "You're doing it wrong." I don't care :þ

Pretty much this. Looks amazin.

 

[PG2G]

It's kinda funny how the same people are wrong in every food thread

 

[TekGryphon]

Medium-rare. There seems to be a range you can get and I figure that's safe since I enjoy rare and can tolerate medium, but wouldn't want anything above medium and bleu-rare feels like biting into a blood clot.

I'm fine with people getting medium-well or well-done, but if I'm paying I'm telling you to get the cheapest cut they have. If you're just going to be chewing on seasoned jerky you're wasting money getting a good cut.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Medium rare. Unf.

 

[Chibot]

Always medium rare here.

 

[Dark Stalkers]

well done with ketchup and cheap wine on the rocks

 

[SlickVic]

Medium, though I could go for one level up (Medium Well) or down (Medium Rare). Growing up, for some reason my family always prepared steak well done. I suppose I was oblivious and assumed that's how it's supposed to be prepared, and I did like at the time. But after trying a medium done steak, now I know what I was missing out on all those years.

 

[MIMIC]

The one before well done.

 

[Nephtis]

Somewhere between Medium and Medium Well.

I like for there to be a bit of red, but not too much.

Having said that though, Medium Rare can sometimes be acceptable, depending on the establishment

 

[soldierblue]

Super rare.

 

[Zeke]

Medium rare always. Salt and pepper seared two minutes each side then wrapped in foil and let rest 10 minutes. I used to get well done and drenched it in sauce, I was a kid so it's ok. You well done guys really are wasting money. You're also getting a crappier cut of meat when you order well done. Medium rare and rare will get you better cuts.

 

[Derwind]

Rare to Medium Rare.

But I wont judge anyone that likes burnt steak.

As you can see, your attempts to stereotype and discredit people doesn't work.

I should probably specify that I do not enjoy eating it this way. Maybe I've never had a 'good' steak, but they're always too damn gummy and I can't chew them into pieces properly. I've had different cuts and tried as low as medium rare. The fact that I eat steak regularly is a testament to how delicious it is, considering how I loathe actually eating it.

 

[bodyboarder]

Rare all the way.

 

[YesNOnoNOYes]

All of y'all that have been posting with your audacious admittance that you ruin your steaks with charring them have been driving me up the wall

UP. THE. FUCKING. WALL

;____;


I just think of all those wasted beautiful meat and my soul cries inside

;____;

HEATHENS.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Well Done. Medium rare always feels like it has less taste to me.

 

[Sinfamy]

Well done, no pink, but not too burnt.
Topped with mushrooms.

 

[jakomocha]

Medium well is where it's at.

 

[loaf of bread]

 

[infinit777]

Well Done, fat cut off, A1 sauce

 

[loaf of bread]

Well Done, fat cut off, A1 sauce

Oh god.

 

[IV Wolfe VI]

Rare, but we all know that 90% of the time its coming out medium rare.

 

[DrForester]

Special place between rare and medium-rare

 

[divusrex]

Medium. If I feel adventurous, medium rare.

 

[plainr_]

Rare. More undercooked if possible.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Well Done. Medium rare always feels like it has less taste to me.

Does the Superman who patrols the Metropolis in your world look like he was designed by Picasso?

 

[kingwingin]

Growing up I hated steak, was so chewy.

I never understood why anyone liked steak.

Until I had medium rare steak.

Been in love ever since

 

[TomShoe]

Medium to Medium Rare. I used to only eat Well Done, it was like chewing on an old boot.

 

[bobawesome]

It's kinda funny how the same people are wrong in every food thread

There's no need to put down those who eat their steaks rare and medium-rare.

 

[Sir Abacus]

My thoughts on steak:

 

[Log4Girlz]

There's no need to put down those who eat their steaks rare and medium-rare.

Of course not, they're right.

 

[xxracerxx]

My thoughts on steak:

I always ask fimly.

 

[Samara]

How do you like your chicken?

 

[MisterNoisy]

Medium rare to rare are acceptable. Anything else is sacrilege and a waste of a good steak.

 

[DesertEater]

Medium and below. Anything above that is ruining a good piece of meat. I always go for medium rare, but wouldn't mind trying out rare at a good restaurant with chefs that know what their doing.

Serious question, wouldn't cooking the steak make it hard to chew? Is that part of the appeal?

 

[ChristianTW]

I eat my steak between medium rare and rare. I like to soak my steak in a Worcestershire, soy sauce, lemon combo with a whole garlic clove, adobo seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, a little sugar, some green onions, and turmeric. I then let it soak for around 1-3 hours. After it is done soaking I will take it out and wait for it to soak up a lot of the liquids so it isn't as drippy, but also not too dry. Then I will add a light layer of salt and pepper to the steak and cook it on the stove (medium heat) for around 5 minutes. After that, I take it outside to the grill and put the grate on the lowest brackets to get the most heat so I can sear the steaks. I let them sit on the grill for 2-4 minutes until they get a nice dark sear around the edges. After that they are ready to eat.

Edit: I also make sure to find a cut with a really really nice layer of fat around the edge for better flavor.

 

[jello44]

This is the same thing someone said in the last steak thread.

I imagine Chie will forgive me as long as I'm eating some kind of steak.

She would.

The one before well done.

That's medium well.

's the way I like a nice filet.

 

[LaNaranja]

I like my meat actually cooked because I am not a fucking animal. Well done all day every day.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Marinated in beer then cured a bit with montreal steak spice for a few hours, wrapped in bacon and cooked to med rare.

also has to be Bison tenderloin... mmmmm

 

[NotBacon]

Anything below medium rare LOOKS appetizing, and I'll even order it sometimes.

And then I take a bite, and it just feels like I'm chewing blood. Not even food. Just blood.

So medium for me.

 

[CoyoteSpitfire]

Rare, always.

 

[Szu]

 

[Emerson]

Prefer Medium on a filet which is obviously the steak of choice. I'll go Medium Rare on like a prime rib. That's my preference but I'll kind of eat whatever, it's all good unless it's actually well done which is ridiculous. Only time I've ever sent a steak back at a restaurant was when I ordered Medium and was given Blue rare.

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

Used to be rare but medium rare now for me.

 

[blame space]

The one before well done.

this is what i say verbatim when i'm at the restaurant

 

[Rentahamster]

Did you say steak?
