How do you eat steak?

[Meow Mix]

Take the poll, because why not

 

[Stevicus]

Medium Rare, usually.

Why does liking it cooked make me a monster?
If I'm cooking it myself I'm not as picky...but at a restaurant, you have to say well done or you're likely to get it bloody.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

I like my steak like some people like their experience after a trip to the Apple store to get a new iPhone: Well done.

 

[Meow Mix]

Monsters, the both of you.

 

[Viker]

I have to tear my steak right off of a living cow. It's the only way I can eat meat.

 

[Aštra’el]

Medium rare, as lean as possible, grilled on mesquite

 

[Meow Mix]

Blue for me. Just sear the outside as long as it's a good piece of meat.

 

[John53]

Medium rare for good quality meat but I also like cheap cuts slow cooked over several hours so I'm assuming that would classify as well done.

 

[Debater Slayer]

Medium rare. I love the juicy steaks! (Not bloody, though. That's a yikes from me.)

 

[The Hammer]

I prefer my steak to still be mooing.

But usually I go for Medium Rare.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Medium rare, though depending on stuff medium is ok and rare is ok, although rare is more ok than medium.

 

[Dan From Smithville]

[Viker]

Bloodthirsty rabbit. Awesome.

I have varied from black and blue to medium rare. Black and blue is when you take a cold steak and very hot griddle (or in my case cast iron pan). You get a real good sear on each side, I would say a minute at the most and you are done.

I bought a sous vide machine about a year ago and it makes fantastic steak. It is cooking in a water bath. You select the final temperature of your meat, season your meat, and put it in a plastic bag that you either vacuum seal or use water to push the air out, do not put the opening of the bag underwater. Then you let it sit for an hour or two depending upon thickness. What is nice about this is that you can go longer without too much of a negative effect. In fact some people like to sous vide their meat much longer since it becomes more tender.

When you are done take the bag out of the water. Open it, save the juices if making a sauce. And then it is almost like my black and blue steak, a quick sear, except that I will use bit of butter.

Spank your mamma that is a good steak!

I also used my sous vide to make "prime rib". Technically a rib roast since I use USDA Choice beef,, but then that is what you get at restaurants too. It was done exactly the way that I wanted and better than anything I have ever had in a steak house.

It's not that it makes you a monster, it's just...
Oh wait. Yes it is. You're a monster!!

 

[Debater Slayer]

Rare.

Where do you get it if it's so rare, then?

Busted!
