Steak Doneness

[Pine]

Since we got a bunch of food threads started, I guess it won't hurt to make another one.
In this one, we will discuss the doneness (yes, that's a real word) of our steaks. Is it better rare? or is it better fully cooked?

I like my steak medium rare because it's a perfect balance of tenderness and juiciness. They taste godly.

Here's a picture of different steaks if you need a reference.

 

[Kosdu]

I like them well done.

I've had rare with my Dad, but I don't trust anyone else's cooking that much.

 

[Ranguvar]

I prefer Blue Rare, but I've been to restaurants that won't even serve it to me that raw, so I usually end up asking for rare or medium rare. The only steak I like not rare is a strip, I'll eat those medium done.

Medium rare. Cooked any longer than that, and you lose all the flavor.

Beef, you don't have to worry so much about food poisoning. It's pork and chicken that you want to have well done. Well done beef just ruins it. :/

 

[Littlerock]

Blue rare all the way. Munf munf munf.

 

[Shetana]

Medium well for me, still pink but not bloody.

 

[Dreaming]

Well done, I'll die inside if I see any blood

 

[Batty Krueger]

Medium rare is best for me. Little to no seasoning(salt, pepper, olive oil). Keep your goddamn mortons steak house seasoning away from mah meetz.


And fuck you for making this thread, now I crave steak and I cannot have it.

Raw meat as properly prepared by a butcher does not contain any blood. The reddish liquid that comes from a steak is myoglobin, not hemoglobin, and is perfectly safe and delicious. If there's blood in your meat, something is seriously wrong.

 

[zanian]

rare or medium rare; cooking it too much destroy the flavor

 

[DarrylWolf]

I prefer meatloaf instead.

 

[LizardKing]

I like them well done.

Well done

You monsters. What did that poor steak ever do to you? :[

I prefer meatloaf instead.

NOT THE MEATLOAF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AAARGH

 

[Zenia]

I like it between rare and medium rare. Anything more done than that is a waste of steak.

... I wonder if I have any steak in the freezer!

 

[Percy]

I used to eat well-done steaks as my mom liked them that way. Upon trying medium-rare I starting questioning how people would prefer their steaks to be cooked that much. >.>

 

[wolfdog]

for me its very rare !! humm miam miam miam

 

[dawgz]

Medium rare all the way. *wags tail, licks chops*

The best prepared steaks are choc full of that stuff! yum <3

 

[DrDingo]

Medium rare for me. Steak's annoying to eat if it's tough and more difficult to chew on.

 

[Nashida]

Medium to medium well for me. I used to go well done but found I was loosing too much flavor. I like just a hint of pink.

My grandmother on the other hand prefers the cow be briefly introduced to the concept of fire. I can't eat mine that raw.

 

[Jags]

Damn thing better still be bleeding when I sink my teeth into it.

 

[Fawna]

People tend to fuck steak up to easily in restaurants, it's hard to actually get a steak the way you want it. Medium rare to medium is how I like it, well done is absolutely foul. I like it juicy, you can mix the juice with any veggies/potato on the plate. MAKE EVERYTHING TASTE OF MEAT.

 

[Sax]

I like it not even cooked, like for steak tartare (<3 <3 ), but I've found that in most restaurants I've been to, even if you order it rare, when you cut it it'll be cooked all the way.

 

[Littlerock]

Fun fact! Cooked meat takes less energy to digest than raw or rare meat. Therefore, you'll be keeping more calories from a consumed fully-cooked steak than you would from it's less-cooked counterpart.

 

[Kitsune Cross]

Blue Rare, I like my meat as my enemies, bleeding.

 

[Willow]

Medium rare. For the reasons already stated. It's tender and delicious and full of flavor.
Funny story, my reward for graduating high school was an 18oz steak. And will possibly be my reward for getting through oral surgery.

And now I really want a steak. Dammit

I prefer meatloaf instead.
