I like mine medium rare. A hint of a chew, but that steak should be drooling like a fox in a henhouse when I cut into it. Mopping up that ambrosia the entire point of the toast that your suppose serve with it.
Now that I'm back from the dead, there was a question I wanted to add to this thread.
What kind of seasonings do you add to your steak (if any)? and steak sauce, yes or no?
I believe that if you have to use steak sauce at your table, someone didn't do their job in the kitchen. Most of the time that sucker should only have to be marinaded. My preference is rubbing it down with powdered garlic, brown sugar, and a bit of black pepper then sitting it in a mixture of soy and teriyaki sauces and if I'm in a really good mood, a shot of tequila is involved.
I have had some sauces that have been good additions, but none of them came out of a bottle. The sauce I liked best was a molé and that's because the steak it was with was served with tamales.
