[midnightmoon05]

ahhhhhhh... yes... a young lady who appreciates a nice steak... thank you!!!

I have gone to restuartnants and ordered rare and it came out cooked... i got really upset how they wasted a piece of meat...
then i got smart and stopped going to restaruants for steak. I am unwilling to pay $20 for it... not edible.

Most finer steakhouses do it right. Nice crisp outside with lots of charoco flavor and inside is perfectly juicy and rare, tender.
Aged steak... i am willing to pay over $100. for.

[Lauren-green]

Omg yes a nice rare steak is one of my favourite things, if it's cooked right! I don't understand how people can ever order well done steak, it's so chewy and takes away all the flavour and just completely wastes a nice cut of meat! When I worked as waitress people would be like "can I please order the steak well done" and I honestly would want to tell them to order something else😂😂😂 just to save the cut of meat from being turned into a piece of rubber hahaha

[alice55]

Blue Rare (rare is ok).
Anything else is too cooked and not good at all.

Can't believe so many people eat overcooked meat, it don't taste like anything and ruin the meat ><

[Lauren-green]

I know right!

[MLGbreezy]

Your both BUGGIN

[Seket]

I don't go to steak restaurants often and I sometimes dislike the juice coming out from the meat.

Cooking it to medium rare often ends up in medium or even rare, so I think the option of going to medium well is safer here.

[Kurαȷ]

If griddle seared, then blue rare.
If sous vide, I'm ok with medium rare.
But ideally I just prefer to eat my meats raw.

[Lauren-green]

Yum!!

[Cammy137]

I used to only eat my steak well done, but over the last few years I've come to really appreciate a rare steak. It tastes so much better.

[Lauren-green]

I know right! No thanks!

[rylielovessoftball]

I absolutely love a good medium-rare steak. I not only like my steaks medium-rare, I like my burgers the same way. I know it's not best to eat store bought burger as a medium-rare item. But, I still do anyways.

[Anonymous]

People who like it blue or rare kinda scare me. I was a waitress and I’d say not even a third of people I served over three years liked those options.

[Lauren-green]

I like it like that haha

[ChefCurry]

I'd say you're right. Most people get theirs well done which is even worse.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry haha, no most people go for medium in my experience!

[ChefCurry]

Medium, medium well, well done pretty much the same thing. We usually check by feel and not much of a difference

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry oh no, there was definitely a difference! Maybe you just don’t notice it so much if you’re set on blue or rare.

[ChefCurry]

Past medium rare and it's just ruined

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry hahaha I disagree.

[ChefCurry]

Most of the cooking world would agree with me

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry how does that even make sense if must people actually eating it prefer otherwise... lol

[ChefCurry]

Because people eating dont have a clue about what good food is. They still think the red stuff is blood.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry well it’s the same as haemoglibin almost, which is still a protein that is a compartment of blood, so it’s not too far off. Does the same sort of job which is why it’s the same colour.

[ChefCurry]

Uh nooo? Because blood is blue. Smh.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry no is it not!!! It’s red! Especially when it’s oxygenated and the iron is bonded! Errr science degree here!!! Thanks.

[ChefCurry]

So then you know it's not blood then.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry it shares some of the same or similar constituents that blood does, but it’s not blood in terms of what my people may think.

[Opinion Owner]

*lay (not my)

[ChefCurry]

Okay try explaining that to someone and watch them still call it blood.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry yeah lol, but honestly most people who are open to learning will get it, and most are. Unless they just awkwardly want to disagree for arguments sake, there’s always one or two of those.

[ChefCurry]

Well it goes to people who have taste and know that a steak is at its juiciest at around rare-medium rare. Anything above that and its just gross.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry that’s just a matter of opinion though. You’re entitled to yours, but clearly by that admission, so is everyone else.

[Opinion Owner]

I imagine it’s probably the healthiest at about medium-rare (max), but that’s just an educated guess, I have no proof.

[Opinion Owner]

Too rare or too cooked isn’t usually the healthiest option for most things in terms of it’s nutritional benefit in the body.

[ChefCurry]

Well the more you cook something the more you take away from it taste wise and nutrition wise. You want to just make it safe to eat and cause very little chemical reaction.

[ChefCurry]

In that everyone is model and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But if a customer wants his steak to be turned into leather no one is stopping him. It's his steak.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry surely taste would determine the difference more.
But yeah exactly, it’s about that sweet spot where it causes the least amount of nagative side effects in the body.

[ChefCurry]

Well its just taste. I can make a steak that would turn your world upside down.

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry well I’m a vegetarian so that’s why it scared me that people like meat undercooked, same with sushi etc. If you’re a foodie, good for you. But from my perspective I’ll pass.

[ChefCurry]

Sure. I'm actually a cook.

[ChefCurry]

An amateur cook

[Opinion Owner]

@ChefCurry cool

[ChefCurry]

Yup.

[Passinggas]

I like that very rare in the middle and still on fire off the grill.

[Lauren-green]

Nice!

[AcidT0y]

I like it to know what the pan looks like but I don't want them on a first name basis. Like 20 seconds each side on a high heat

[Lauren-green]

Love it 😂

[A-man-22]

Where is the live animal option?

I dislike steak culture, you shouldn't get people hating you because you like your food cooked.

I like medium well/well done.

You are fine to have your steak any way you like, even barely cooked but don't start actually hating on others.

[linds34]

Medium. But in a lot of places, if you order medium you get medium well, so I might order differently at different places.

[Anonymous]

Medium well or well done.
I don't understand how people can eat raw meat, it's disgusting.
Plus, it's unhealthy because you can actually get food poisoning. Steaks should be cooked to a minimum of 145 degrees Fahrenheit at the center point or to medium-rare, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

[JackSmy]

Anything more than medium rare is just wrong, and ruins the steak!!

[viaamtrak]

My Grandfather was a farmer. He taught me tha tundercooked meat was a possible health hazard, so I always cook or order my meats well done.

[MannMitAntworten]

Just show it a picture of fire and plate that slab of bovine upon my plate.

[lexit60]

Go vegan/vegetarian. Animal agriculture is awful for the environment, and the way the animals are treated is horrendous!

[Lauren-green]

Obviously my question wasn't intended for vegans or vegetarians was it lol

[Grobmate]

Definitely D. I don't eat charcoal but at the same time I don't want to have to pit a fence on the plate to stop the cow from eating my greens.

[Anonymous]

Well done. Why should the restaurant owner get off easy? If I wanted raw flesh, I’d just buy it at the store.

[Lauren-green]

Eh I hate it when people order well done at the restaurant lmao I want to tell them to order something else to be honest, I think it just ruins a nice cut of meat over cooking it like that hahaha

[Opinion Owner]

But it’s not overcooked, or else it would be burned. Just the redness is gone.

[Lauren-green]

But well done is sooo chewy 😂

[Opinion Owner]

Not if it’s good meat.

[Massageman]

I always oder medium well so it will come out at least medium.

[Soporific-san]

Rare for certain steaks or locations I go to. Medium rare is my to go. Some restaurants I have to go rare, due to the steak quality.

[naijagurl]

I like it well done. People who say that it’s tough or hard to eat just haven’t had it cooked by the right person.

[Elliegirl]

Medium rare. I’m ok with medium. Anything past medium is too much. It loses flavor and gets too tough and chewy.

[dreamstar72]

Well done, for some reason I hate grèasy or bloody meats. Actually I will get sick to the stomach if i eat that nasty slime. Rather stick to pork or chicken.

[ChocolateBrowny]

This is most realistic way you can chew and bite on really thick juicy meat. I therefore have medium rare even tho its against my culture to eat beef :D dont tell anyone
