How do you like your steak?
« on: October 31, 2010, 03:19:08 AM »
I got into an argument at work about this, so I figured why not ask here? I don't like steak, but when I do eat it, I prefer it well done.

I have to ask, what's Blue Rare?  I mean, it sounds like "you let it sit and then eat without cooking".

From wiki:

Quote
Seared, Blue rare or very rare — Cooked very quickly; the outside is seared, but the inside is usually cool and barely cooked. The steak will be red on the inside and barely warmed. Sometimes asked for as "blood rare" or "bloody as hell". In the United States, this is also sometimes referred to as 'Black and Blue' or 'Pittsburgh Rare'. It is common for chefs to place the steak in an oven to warm the inside of the steak. This method generally means 'blue' steaks take longer to cook than any other degrees.

Oh.  Ewww.

Medium Rare, incidentally.  Just cooked enough for the meat to start getting that cooked texture, but without cooking all the juice out of it (since, unlike a burger, a steak really needs those juices to be good on its own.  Miiiind, A1 can salvage even the toughest steak!)

The better quality the steak, the less you should cook it. Cooking is chemistry and chemistry is cooking.

I like to go top shelf. Rare.

Medium for me. I don't really mind it being medium rare or medium-well. Not too picky.

I grew up enjoying burnt-to-a-crisp steaks. They had a fantastic crust and were fully brown and warm on the inside, but still really juicy.

Now, I like a crusty steak with a pink middle. I tend to order medium rare, but what I actually get varies wildly from "oh, you didn't want it raw?" to "eh, it was on the grill less than that one." When I cook it at home, it tends toward rare/medium rare.

Of course, I absolutely love A-1.

Don't like steak. Like it very well done if I eat it, though.

I tend to like my stake medium rare, though I won't complain if they're rare.  Then again, in my house, I'm also the crazy guy who over-cooks the things, so hey.  As for how much I like them, they are practically a staple of b-b-q season.

I chose medium rare, but anything below that is acceptable.
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

Medium rare here. Wouldn't complain about rare at all, it's just easier to ask for medium rare to give the chef a little leeway.

I have a tough time with well done. :[

I usually order medium. Otherwise I'm not too picky, although steaks do cross a "too rare" boundary once the inside is only lukewarm. I've never had this come up except when the person cooking it honestly misjudged how cooked it was, though.

Same as Excal and Trips. I enjoy my steaks medium-rare, but rare is fine too. I want to try Blue Rare at least once to be honest >_>.

Rob has the right idea but I usually eat low grade steaks so I prefer them medium well with enough spices and A1 sauce you can make almost any steak taste good.  If it's the perfect steak, I would probably go with medium rare

Medium rare. The less cooked the inside the better, but I also want it to be hot all the way through for taste and texture reasons.

I'm a medium rare man myself, though I can handle it being a little off to either side.

Depends on the cut, as Rob said. I responded Medium-rare though, because I will do some meh steaks medium, and I'm not too picky about food in general (as long as it's not like a well-done fillet mignon).

fsteak.

I would it eat everyday if my organs wouldn't shut down.

Also if Japan had any.

I'm fine with even charcoal, but my preferences run closer to 'I'd just go take a bite out of the still-moving cow if that didn't break some kind of health code'.

Medium Rare, but leaning more "rare" than "medium"

My mom can make a delicious steak that's not really bloody at all, but that's because she is some sort of freakish wonder-cook. Otherwise, if I want my meat to have flavor, I need it juicy.

ALSO, we should talk about additives to steak, and why you shouldn't use them. Steak sauce is for people who'd rather eat vegetables than meat. Salt and spices all the way, baby.
