For steak, rare or occasionally medium rare on some cuts.
Lean steaks cooked well done are terrible. It’s fine not to like steak but well done steak isn’t good compared to say stew or brisket or other slow cooked tougher cuts that break down cooked low and slow.
Lean steaks start tender and go tough with cooking

I like all my meat "well-done" (U. S. terms) or, "ᜎᜓᜆᜓ" ("luto"; "loo-TOH";「cooked」) as known in my side of the world where meat traditionally only has 2 settings, the other being "ᜑᜒᜎᜏ᜔" ("hilaw"; "hee-LAO"; 「raw」).
Medium, medium rare or well done. Honestly I don't have a favourite. But any one of these is fine.
I'll never understand people that like it blue rare though
So rare is just raw bloody meat? It's a no for me. I don't like steak anyways.

This is a high-stakes question.
My family does Medium Well and Well Done and that was how I ate it when I was young.
After I tasted Rare and Medium Rare steaks at a friend's BBQ I could not eat it any other way after that. Well Done is so tough and disgusting.Always well done. It's the safest option since it's almost guaranteed to kill any parasites, viruses, or bacteria.
Medium Well is ideal, but I'd rather it be overcooked than undercooked. Medium is the lowest I'll possibly go.
I rarely eat red meat anymore, but I prefer it somewhere between medium and medium well.
Blue rare (115F)- seared on the outside, completely red throughout. Meat remains gel-like in texture and difficult to chew, juices are not yet flowing freely.
Medium or medium rare, anything past that is ruined
Medium to medium well
I have a fear of parasitesMedium rare. Any less than that, and I may as well just kill and eat the pray raw...
In the trash lol. Actually when I could eat steak I prefered it medium rare
Medium or medium well.
Medium rare is okay too but not as much as the other twoWell done. It's just so difficult to get - they will usually give me medium or medium rare if I ask for well done and then the raw meat will cause food poisoning.
Maybe medium or medium well. That picture changed my opinion a bit.
Only freaks eat well done
As well done as it can be short of burning it. I don't like bugs and germs.
Well done, because fuck everyone who says it's ruined. It's cooked and not fucking raw.
Still mooing and eating grass
I like my steak still mooing
