Rare

>>14331650
Medium rare. I can also tolerate medium so if they overcook it it's not a big deal

Medium well

Give me a well done steak in a hamburger roll. Put some tomato sauce, some mayo on it. Yummo.

>>14331650
Enjoy your parasites

>>14331734
You too!

>>14331751
What?

>>14331751
Which generation are you from that has such poor image quality?

I usually go for mid rare too. It’s juicy and easy to cut

Rare through Medium is the only way to enjoy a steak. If you have to get anything more cooked than medium, you have terrible taste.

>>14331785
I bet your whiny ass would fall apart if someone sneezed in your general direction. When you concern yourself with getting parasites from cooked meat I just know you got a lotta more issues with living day to day life. Stop being scared of nothing, it ain’t healthy

>>14331793
Best answer right here.

Well done. There's a reason it's not called "poorly done". Who wants to eat undercooked meat, anyway?

>>14331854
Aren’t you chewing for days though? I used to go for well done a long time ago and I didn’t like steak because of that. Now it’s easier to chew and tastier.

>>14331863
cut smaller bites?

Literally can't understand why people enjoy anything but medium.

>>14331650
anywhere from rare to medium, i most usually eat medium rare
anything below is disgusting and chewy as hell, i'd rather eat leather

>>14331650
Rare or medium rare.

Or like cooked through and beyond well done to the point of falling apart.

>>14331650
Blue rare

>>14331650
Medium

Medium if I’m ordering it. Medium-rare at home.

I like well done. i only ever had well done

>>14331650
anywhere from medium to well is fine
i don't like the texture of less done meat and excess grease/myoglobin make me wretch up mucus
also the more done it is the better the fat tastes

I aim for medium rare but it usually comes out rare. Makes it easy to microwave later without overcooking it.

>>14332228
Try rare sometime. It's not like it's chicken.

>>14332228
>i only ever had well done

My condolences

medium, though medium-rare is fine. well-done is best in spicy contexts though

Like Donald Trump: well done with ketchup

I stopped going to these chain like steakhouses. More than not they don’t cook the steak decently and they don’t have anything better than Choice grade. I’m not amazing but I can do a much better job @ home

texas roadhouse is trash go to outback

>>14331650
Usually medium, but I like medium rare too.
If the steak has little marbling, I'll probably get it a little rarer than usual.
If it turns out well done, I'll cut it up and dip it sesame oil salt.

>>14332223
Not an argument

>>14331650
Medium, because if the cut is somewhat thick they'll fuck it up anyway and it will be medium rare in 90% of the steak.

Medium Rare and Medium are both valid options for normal people, Rare is defensible but kind of weird and brands you as an edgelord, Medium Well is wrong, Well Done is extremely wrong.

>>14331650
Medium cause il eat MR and MW without complaints

>>14331751
>>14331800
OK BOOMER

>>14331650
>We all came to consensus that medium rare is always the way to go.
Unless you have a coupon/gift certificate, why not instead go to a real local steakhouse where the meat is aged, chef is paid more, sides aren't all fried and warmed over frozen food, and yea, simply more divine? Same prices honestly. Texas Roadhouse is priced at the top of the chain prices yet is only outback level combos.

When dining at a chain where you can't know the source of the meat or the quality, be careful. Order it medium well, and be happy with medium rare-medium-well done spectrum, but the chef won't know how to get it right. And, at least your food will be heated enough that you don't get ill. Also, you're killing COVID from the wait staff and prep cooks, so you want it good and hot, if not charred. Get horseradish sauce. It's has antimicrobial properties. Also, drink beer between each bite to further antibacterial assistance. Go ahead and squeeze some lime juice over everything, like you're in Mexico while you're at it, rims of glasses where hands touched or other people's germs weren't properly rinsed off, and on top of food. Rub the wedge right down your fork tines to sanitize. Wouldn't hurt to ask for your own disposable cutlery or bring from home! Use gloves to cut the bread or trade up to something right out of the oven. It goes without saying, skip the salad and put some sanitizer in your pocket, and use it if you do anything, like touch the edge of your plate, the back of your chair, etc. Be ready to order all courses! Do not have them coming back to your table for refills or anything at all. Bottled beer. Bottled water. Goodbye Felicia.

>>14333184
so is this a copypasta or did you actually bother writing this

>>14331650
All of the medium spectrum leaning towards rare.

>>14331854
Well done feels too dry for my taste.

>>14332228
I grew up like this. Do yourself a a huge favor and move to medium.

>>14331650
I don't steak my meat, I boil it.

>>14333327
Fite me cunt

>>14333179
back to r*ddit

>>14333353
I like it tender, choke on coke you foking meatburner.

>>14331650
If I'm at a Texas roadhouse then I'll probably order the rib roast (misnamed prime rib, since it's likely choice at best) rather than any steak because I can do those at home better and cheaper. It's usually available medium rare to medium, but I agree with y'all and get medium rare with fresh horse radish to dump in my aus ju.. Their bbq stuff is way cheaper and not bad, although definitely not Texas style. It's likely closer to KC or Memphis style, the chain being based out of Louisville KY. I don't like potatoes so I'll get a Caesar salad and either green beans or rice for my sides.

>>14331650
Rare because I’m not 12 years old

People say well-done is a shitty way to eat a steak but it's the most hardcore one if you ask me.
I fear a man who has the jaw strength to finish an entire well-done steak.

>>14331650
well done, meat is tastier when absorbs the sauce you're cooking on it.
I've seen a pattern that most people who like undercooked just pours salt and pepper on their steak which is sad, i like that whatever im eating has a flavor other than just salt.

>>14333479
S & P, the choice for me

>>14333487
Based and Wayne-pilled.

>>14333487
its up to you man. i usually pour s&p, a tiny spot of mustard, pimentos and onions over with a few spoons of wine. once it absorbs all of it, turns into a 10/10 for me. meanwhile undercooked meat taste like salt and iron, at least to me.

>>14331650
>rare
tastes good.
>medium rare
tastes good.
>medium
tastes good.
>medium well
tastes good
>well done
tastes good and everyone looks down on you for some reason

I really don't get the disdain for well done.

Do people only like medium well or well done because they're afraid of parasites and disease?

>>14331789
sick burn

>>14331650
Well done
Everything else is a meme

>>14333531
>Don't get the disdain
When most people think of well done steak, they think of the burnt, dry, tough piece of shit their mom fed them every once in a while whenever she was tired and hung over from the bottle of wine from the previous night after having the 365th fight with her husband that year, or the steak at the family bbq that the uncle fucked up and forgot to take off the grill so they gave it to the kids. It's possible to get a good well-done steak, but it's not the type of well done steak people talk about.

>>14333531
Because some seem to think that well done, overdone and shoe leather is the same thing and insist that it's normal to spend minutes furiously sawing a "well done" steak.

>>14333531
Reason people get looked down on is because steaks are expensive and tender when cooked less.
Well done removes the tenderness so it like eating a cheap cut of meat.
You can make a $20 cut of meat the quality of a $5 cut by over cooking it.
If you like well done get a cheap cut and slow cook it.

>>14331650
anything from medium well to medium rare is fine
what is more important is the sides

>>14331650
anywhere between rare and medium is fine with me. I prefer Medium rare but won't make a scene if it is not spot on perfect.

>>14331734
unless you are eating wild caught meat or free range hogs there are no parasites.

>>14333687

this is the kind of post that shows you have absolutely no idea how to properly cook meat. i have done well done steak that keeps their tenderness, different cuts have different tenderness, it doesn't matter if its dry or well done, also any cut of steak once is cooked either well done or "rare" will turn into a leather shoe once it colds. both a 20$ or a 5$ cut have absolutely the same value if you dont know how to properly cook it, shit
also this.
>>14333683

>>14333689
This tells me whatever that steak is I'm going to enjoy the meal.

>>14333777
But why pan sear a brisket well done when you could just slow cook it and have a way better meal.

>>14331650
>beef has like 7 different ways to cook
>chicken has 2, raw or white
>pork has like 3, raw, pink, or white
what's up with this?

>>14331854

>>14331863
I'm chewing for days with rare. Medium is my go to,

>>14331650
medium/medium rare
only if its still bloody juicy

if its dry like in the pic then you might as well eat rubber

>>14331650
I like it medium, but I will eat (and enjoy) practically any level of doneness.
I love steak so much.

Rare or med rare.
Blue rare depending on the sides, because rosemary mashed red potatoes and blue rare is God tier.

Make sure that the pan is ultra hot. Pick it up and show it to the steak for two seconds from a good distance. Serve and enjoy!

i like mine rare but am generally okay with eating medium rare or medium

>>14332732
Not an argument either.

>>14331650
Don't care much but medium is usually what I get

>>14333777
How does one correctly cook steaks to the three levels without affecting the toughness? How do you adjust for differing quality of cuts?

>>14331650
medium. I tried rare a couple times but don't understand why people keep hyping it up so much.

Medium

>>14337081
If you're at a chain or cheap place and the cook is unskilled or lazy and doesn't get it right a rare steak will be worse than a medium, but if you get lucky or are at a nice place rare is better, different maybe more "pure" flavor and less chewy. I've eaten slices of raw steak before and thought it was amazing though so it might be a preference thing

>>14331650
Isnt medium supposed to look more like medium well in the picture? I always assumed medium had very little pink

Depends on the steak and thickness

>>14331751
Facebook boomers need to fucking leave

whenever i ask for it rare and i get it medium rare i eat it anyway but i get sorta miffed that people don't think i really mean i want it rare and know the difference. that or every time i've had it the chef sucked. this includes people i know.

>>14331751
You thought you were being clever and everyone would high five you and say great job but really you're just a big retard
