Steak, How would you like it?

[BigGuns]

I’m good with rare to medium rare (voted medium rare). There is no other choice. Sure, “beef” can be cooked differently, but “steak” maxes out at mid rare. 

If @LizardGizmo comes in here with his medium rare plus or some such nonsense, automatic one week ban @Chas.Alpha

Banning trigger ready to pull, at your command…

Growing up in a farming family, everything was well done to remove any connection with any 'pets'. I'm an exception at Medium. I've exposed the kiddies to the rainbow (except blue) and they're liking medium and medium rare, so I've broken the cycle at least.

Cheers!

I’m getting the sense that someone is coming out of this with a week’s worth of forum ban. 🤔

Medium rare for me.

Medium rare, sometimes okay with rare.

Me, too. Especially with a filet...

Let’s call it a “ban plus”.

Medium rare is my vote too. The boney bits do need a bit more because there it's just difficult to scrape off the bone. The best bit. Pink and black too when a place knows how to get a charring without over cooking. Yum.

Rare - Reverse sear. Bring up to just under temp in the oven. Throw it in a ripping hot cast iron pan. Sear tf out of it to get a beauty crust. Turn off fire. Baste with butter, garlic, and thyme. NOMNOMNOM.

Depends on cut and marbling. Wagyu a different discussion.

The northern Spaniards seem to get it.

Rare or Med Rare depending on the cut but most often med rare. As an interesting aside I ran the bar at a higher-end steakhouse during college. They fed me every night so I know it takes me about 4 years to even think about something other than steak for dinner.

Medium rare for 80% of steaks. Medium for the fattiest ones. Helps render it better. Not many things better on this planet than a good char on a fatty cut.

Interesting. Always liked it medium rare growing up. Prefer rare now. Honestly do not eat it often. At today's prices it is only occasionally.

Medium rare is my love. But I like ribeye, so the fat needs to cook a bit more. If its something non fatty like a fillet I'll go rare. Black and blue even.

I’m tired of ordering a medium rare steak and getting served a slightly wounded piece of cattle in a fancy steak house. I’m a reverse sear guy and any cut at 130F with a wicked hot for the sear does it. Charcoal preferred. A short rest and 'voila’.

I am good with anything around medium. Not rare and not well done; anything in between I am fine with.

That right there is the perfect amount of 'doness' for me!

[Cigar Surgeon]

Pittsburgh rare to medium well but I prefer medium rare, roughly 135F.

Doneness charts can be very misleading, always good to temp your meat.

I voted for Medium, but I think well done is underrated. A cook who can cook a juicy well-done steak is a real cook, in my opinion. I remember an episode of Hell's Kitchen 10 years ago where a diner ordered a well done steak and Gordon Ramsey purposely served a burnt steak and told the customer that he didn't know how to eat a steak... what a pretentious asshole haha.
