Blue. Or just completely raw served as sashimi.

(Yes, I'm one of the few people who actually love the taste of raw meat.)
 
Rare or medium rare for a decent cut. Any more with good steak is like serving good beer ice cold, you're just wasting your money
 
"Burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell?"

But actually, I like them medium rare. I taste more flavor that way.
 
Well done steak isn't just objectively bad taste, it will kill you.

Well done steak can lead to Alzheimer's and dementia

See burning food (let's be honest, "well-done" means "over cooked") creates compounds known as glycotoxins.

In the first phase of the study, researchers found that mice raised on a diet high in glycotoxins (specifically a type called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs), "were more likely to develop dementia-like cognitive and movement problems as they aged than mice fed a low-glycotoxin diet," reports ScienceAlert.

These glycotoxin-munching mice also displayed increased amounts of amyloid beta proteins in their brains. These are the sticky proteins that are often found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.

After lab trials on mice, the research team monitored the amount of AGEs in the blood of 93 New Yorkers aged over 60 for a period of nine months. They found that participants who ate more glycotoxins (i.e burned food) had more AGEs in their blood over the course of the study and thus experienced more cognitive decline than their peers.

Although this was a small study, the researchers believe there's enough evidence to suggest that eating rarer meat could offer a simple way to reduce the risk of dementia and metabolic syndromes as we age.

Rare or medium rare. I notice different peoples definition of this usually varies depending on who is cooking it. I have a butter + cast iron pan + stove top/oven method that seems to make it turn out the best for how I like to cook it. Cubed steak beef is great over an open flame too.
 
Rare or Medium Rare for myself.

I was once having dinner with a few friends in NYC (I think it was in 07) and one of the guys I was eating with loves his steak to be as rare as possible. So when the waitress asked how he would like his steak done he replied "Like it's having its period"
 
I just had medium rare and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. I used to go medium well.

I think I am going to try rare next.

Ask the restaurant what rare means to them. Some restaurant are pretty damn aggressive with how they label rare. I mean, the thing will be 99% raw, which is too much for my taste.
 
Medium rare is the way to go. Anything past that level of cooking is too dry, and anything prior you might as well eat off the fucking grass you animal.
 
Four minutes on one side and three on the other on the skillet on med/high heat and it usually turns out rare. So rare I guess.

Just what I was going to say. Rare is often better (when rare=medium rare and medium rare=medium), but medium rare is safer. Some restaurants will really give you rare if you ask for it, and that's too much for me.
 
Medium for most of what I pick up at Albertsons or Safeway. Medium rare if it is a good choice (or prime) NY strip or Ribeye, typically bought at the local butcher's shop.
