Yeah me too; I prefer when the fibres of the steak get stuck in my teeth and I have to pick them out

For me its chicken: rare (i like my shits to fight on the way out my back)

Eat pork then, dummy. Leave steak for people who don't care as much about texture.

Here's the thing: Each cut of meat needs to be treated differently according to it's animal, location, fat content, and cooking method.

Brisket is a beef cut that is taken well past the well done mark. I personally love ribeyes that have been smoked to well done as well.

Would I grill a lean steak past medium? Fuck no, that is how you get dry leather. If I HAD to have it well done, I'd sous vide it to well done. In fact, I'd probably sous vide it past well done to help tenderize it.

I always reverse-sear thick ribeye steaks so I can achieve perfect medium rare, but one night while I had the steaks in the oven, I drank too much absinthe and chartreuse and ended yakking and passing out. Don’t remember how long I was out, but I awoke to my oven timer going off. It couldn’t have been that long, but the steaks were definitely well done at this point. In my drunken haze, I decided to sear them anyway, and while the texture was a bit tough, I remember the steaks having the most delicious beefy flavor I’ve ever experienced. Tried multiple times since to do it again, but I just haven’t been able to recreate that magic. Oh well guess I’ll keep drinking…

you know how people say you should cook ground beef until it's brown, not grey? it's the same thing with steak in this case. if you undercook it you get the raw meat flavor hemoglobins blah blah whatever, you get that bit, and the fat is still there, but if you overcook it you get it real meaty and browned. people who hate on well done are people who have just got to the grey part, and not let it go past that to proper food again.

Noted. Thanks anon, I’ll try to push it a bit further next time.

Just came home from a company dinner where the two women coworkers seated next to me ordered their $45 30-day dry aged wagyu steaks well done. Died a little inside but not worth saying anything. Annoying part is that my own mid-rare steak came out medium or even medium-well because I'm pretty sure the chef did them all in a group.

>NOOOOOOO WELL DONE STEAK IS TOO DRY
I see a good amount of juices in the steak in OP's pic.

Based. Hating well done is nothing but a normie meme, like hating pineapple on pizza.

>>17080576
You don't value your teeth, clearly. Your dentist must hate you.

>>17082355
In the part of the steak that is medium well, yes.

It's like flossing. Smoke a menthol for fresh breath

I also like my food to fight back, so I keep it as close to still living as possible.

If you were in a Mongolian hoard during the time of Kahn, you were expected to slaughter all animals by tying their legs together, opening up their abdomen, and squeezing their heart until it stopped. If you refused to slaughter that way you were killed.

Properly cooked pork isn't tough at all
