How do you like your steak?

[JoJo]

I'm partial to rare, myself. The rarer the better, the only steak which I've had which was too rare was a steak tartare in France, which is literally raw. It was okay to try, but I prefer my meat a little bit singed.

How about you?

Medium. However I eat steak so rarely I haven't developed a taste other than simply medium.

 

[Hawki]

Medium rare. Though I try not to eat too much beef these days.

 

[Lil devils x_v1legacy]

Medium. After being hospitalized for food poisoning from a fine dining restaurant, I am not taking any more chances with rare.

Rare medium mostly. Though to balance the unavoidable guilt of eat meats, I have to taze a loved one and throw them to the local ravenous lions. It keeps the conscience clear, but running low on loved ones now, so should probably be slowing down on the eat meats.

Medium. I rarely eat steak tho. Aside from the whole ecological footprint thing beef has, it's more expensive compared to most other meats. Also, my hometown is rather bereft of places that sell quality beef, so yeah.

Medium to medium rare. Also covered in Stilton. Not something I eat very often at all, os I'm not exactly a connoisseur.

So what do people here mean when they say they have steak "not often", "rarely" or "not too much"?

I have steak two to four times during a year. Because I'm cheap and lazy, and thus it's always cooked by somebody else; available in a buffet restaurant for example.

Medium to well, with Diane sauce if I can get it, pepper sauce if I can't.

 

[Elvis Starburst]

Medium rare. Medium is fine, anything leaning rare is pushing it a bit

 

[Thaluikhain]

Over-cooked, myself. You don't get food poisoning from overcooked food, and my mum always overcooked things when I was growing up, leaving me suspicious of anything that's done normally.

 

[CaitSeith]

I don't. I prefer ground meat or patties.

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

On the infrequent occasion I do have steak as opposed to any other choice on the menu, I prefer medium/medium-rare

 

[sneakypenguin]

Light side of medium. I do ribeyes 3 times a week on the George Forman. 3 min on that and nice pink center put some cajun seasoning on it.... Good stuff

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

My parents raised me with well done steak so thats what I do at home, but in a resturant to save time I usually go medium well if I order steak.

 

[Leg End]

Well done. If it hasn't been through the fires of hell itself, it ain't done yet.

 

[Baffle]

Ideally, I'd like to let the cow keep it.

 

[bluegate]

With a big fat wobble of ketchup.

 

[MrCalavera_v1legacy]

Medium. Medium rare/well, are fine too, not a huge fan of extremes in food.

So what do people here mean when they say they have steak "not often", "rarely" or "not too much"?

Once per couple of months. Cook it myself.

Over-cooked, myself. You don't get food poisoning from overcooked food, and my mum always overcooked things when I was growing up, leaving me suspicious of anything that's done normally.

Isn't it better to just have a different type of meal at this point? Or do you actually like this kind of texture?

Well done. If it hasn't been through the fires of hell itself, it ain't done yet.

Was waiting for an excuse to post this:

Marinated, cubed & served on a kabob with grilled veggies.

I cannot bring myself to just serve up a slab of meat anymore. Before, I found it uncreative, now I find it vaguely gross. (Also you can totally feed 4 people with 1 steak that way).
