Steak, How would you like it?

Went with medium rare but if it was off a bit I’d much rather it learn towards rare vs. medium.

Medium rare for pretty much any steak for me. A little more done for filet mignon if I sous vide it, because it's even from top to bottom and edge to edge (not just med rare in the center). Then get a nice sear on it before plating. I don't sous vide too many other steaks because it doesn't render the fat enough. 

Great... now I'm hungry.

Juicy medium well/well done steak.

Shoot for rare but always go over a touch. Reverse searing for the win.  

That is a thing of Beauty !

I had a friend say “ he wanted a slow gaited waiter to walk it through a hot kitchen”.  They brought him what he wanted and ate it with a few glasses of bourbon neat.   He asked me if I wanted a bite and I declined lol.

Medium-rare hanger steak. Called "l'onglet" in France or in the better French bistros in the states. Splendid cut. When sourced, butchered, and cooked properly, there's really nothing like it on the entire cow. Emphasis on the word "properly." Lots of butchers and restaurants try to pass off a different cut as a hanger steak. These are people unfamiliar with true French butchery.

Well if that's medium rare then I don't know what medium rare is. When I ordered medium rare in restaurants they always came a bit too cold in the center and tasted a bit like raw fish.

There's a difference between "steakhouse" medium rare and home medium rare. Steakhouses are one step down from the home equivalent. I assume it's due to being safer to bring out under cooked steaks than over cooked?

And this is what leads to behavior like my wife ordering medium steak when what she really wants is medium-rare. Because the steak places she'd go out to weren't temping the meat properly and it was all over the place.

I thought I was a medium man for over a decade. But looking back perhaps I was a medium rare man. What would you call this? Medium rare or Medium? Found these pics from my OLD Facebook 11 years back. Now I prefer my steak medium+

The  photo is Medium rare to me. If I was ordering "medium rare", then that is as much cooked as I would want it. 

When I go to a "pub", I will ask for "rare" knowing 90% of the time that the best I can expect is what your photo is (medium rare).

Her and me both.

For steaks, I would rather cook at home on a charcoal grill than eating out. NY strip ALL THE WAY.

For sure. My momma told me to have something that I wouldn’t have at home when I go out to eat.

I make these at work and have only had one sent back because it wasn't cooked enough. We pull them around 120° and rest for a bit.

Superb!

Where I cooked, this would have been medium and the first one above would have been medium well perfection. We checked steak temp mainly by feel to the tongs and touch, and plated them when they felt right. None were cut before being served. The amount of cooking seen here, not just the color, would have placed this one at medium for us.
