    Our staff Christmas party is tomorrow evening and we are having it catered. They are bringing in STEAKS for everyone. I was the one appointed to get everyone's order of how they like their steak cooked. You want to know what most people said???? WELL DONE! OMG! Why ruin a steak by cooking it to death? I like mine RARE baby! Sear that sucker on both sides and let it rip! LOL

    HOw do you like your meat?

    Medium Rare. I used to be one of those well done people, but gradually came down from Well Done, to Medium Well, to Medium and now Medium rare.

    Edited to add that last night I cut small strips of meat off my grass fed ribeye and ate it completely raw. It was room temperature from sitting on the counter to thaw all day.

    Rare. And I've told people that if they come over and we're having steak, if they ask for well done, I will put a belt on their plate. Medium is ok, but after that there is no flavor left... and it's way too chewy. Blergh...

    No hint of "moo" is allowed on my steak.

    Whenever I order steak, I tell them to burn it. "Well done, then?" they ask.

    "No," I reply. "Burn it. When you think it's well done, cook it a little more than that."

    Even a hint of pink and I just can't handle it.
    THIS.
    If anyone wants to eat steaks raw (anything less than med-well, I can't handle), that's fine -- everyone is entitled to eat it the way they like.
    I like just a hint of 'crust' around the edges of the steak.
    Pls cook my hamburgers the same way: No pink in the middle.

    Rare to medium rare depending on the type of steak. One of my best friends does it well done and I always offer him a nice tire to chew on. It needs to be juicy and yummy:love:

    Definitely with you, why would you ruin a delicious steak by cooking the hell out of it??? I usually go for medium rare these days; I used to order medium but I feel like that never left enough pink. I definitely grossed out my giflriends over the weekend by getting too excited about how pink the meat I ordered was :p

    Medium to well done.

    There can't be any pink in it but neither does it have to be burned to ashes.
