    Well well done. No signs of pinkness tyvm.

    Althooough....i had one recently that i didn't didnt cook "properly", and it was slightly pink in the middle. I actually tried it...and it was lovely! :(

    But...the look put me off...

    Medium with a little salt and pepper..... and a roll to soak up the juices.

    No sauce needed

    mooing, on a grill, with no added seasonings.
    Then served with grilled asparagus, and mushrooms steam/sauteed with NO oil, but with their own juices and just a dab of reduced beef stock.

    I prefer my steak rare-to-medium-rare, but to clear up a misconception [if it hasn't been addressed already], the juices in a steak are mostly water and myoglobin, not blood cells. The blood is drained at the time of the slaughter.

    BLOODY! :bigsmile: (even though I just read that it's not blood, I'm still calling it that :laugh:)

    Medium-well, no sauce. It seems everyone likes theirs rare'ish, gross! I find it too squishy and no, not soft just weird. That's why I don't like seafood like shrimp and lobster, the consistency is too squishy like uncooked meat.

    I love the steak at Montana's, beautifully done and only 330 cals. The Keg's however tastes good too but is 960 cals! Why does a nice piece of meat need to soak in oil to cause such a nutritional disaster? Not cool!

    I prefer my meat still living, attached to a happy, living creature.

    Although I have no problem with people who eat meat, I do find this pretty funny:

    As rare as they do it.

    If I cook it myself - Medium Rare
    If I order it - Medium (Apparently half the restaurants think medium-rare is still squishy raw/barely warmed in the center... gross)

    Also, with some crab, artichoke and cheese over the top... freaking amazing.

    Also like onions and mushrooms over it at times as well.

    Hmm, now I think I'm gonna have to ask my g/f if we can go out for steaks this weekend. :laugh:

    Not even married, and she already owns you?

    Better yet, tell her "I'm going out for steaks, if you care to join me."

    hehehe!!! This is what i say when ordering steak out, "I want you to burn it. I want to have to scrape the crusty charred part off to find the meat. I want NO pink. So, supre-duper-overly well done. Thanks!"

    Why bother ordering a steak then? Waste of good money!

    this is how i order my steak: I want it RARE. Extra RARE. Walk the Cow throught the kitchen, i'm good if it's still mooing.

    love it when you have just a little brown w/ grill marks on the outside and then purple and bloody on the inside. if my potato or culiflower isn't PINK at the end, the steak is over cooked.

    I actually rarely do order steak out, because they tend to burn my husband's too then! so, out of courtesy to him, i usually get something else. When we're at home, he puts mine on a few minutes before his. It's just a preference, i guess! I love the way it tastes that way! People say i'm ruining the flavor, but i like the flavor!

    medium rare!! Why cook out all of the natural flavors??? If it is cooked properly and has good spices on it, there isn't even a need for all the steak sauce that people tend to pour on by the gallon!!!

    Slap the horns off and throw it on a plate.

    Enjoy my steak bloody. Savoring the "spirit" of the meat.

    We say, "slap 'er on the *kitten* and send 'er in" - yep, like mine rare too.

    Medium to medium rare.
  • Very well done, actually burn it - and absolutely no fat - I hate the slimy grissly stuff. A1 steak sauce. Marinade in Red Wine and Worchesire with lots of garlic

    Medium rare. Lean thick cuts of meat only (yes I know how bad that sounds).

    barely medium rare with just salt and pepper. If you are using a quailty cut of meat you don't need any sauces (they hide the full flavor)
