So... How does AH take their steak?

Hotfail.com

I've got a massive craving for steak all of a sudden, so here we are... :rolleyes:

For me it's always medium

Hande hoche!

Medium rare is quite the treat. Also the aldi ones are nice for the price.

TheBody

Well done with a heap of fried onions and pepper sauce.

The Backwards Man

Rare, anymore than that is just ruining the steak

Well done, with onions... the choice of peasants.

Good god not another thread about steak. You really know how to make a cow feel uncomfortable and nervous

Medium rare please, not much blood, but still nice and tender.

Also ditto on what somebody said about Aldi steaks. Good value deliciousness.

Medium or medium rare. Ordering it well done is just asking for beef that's about to go off.

Well done and in an American steakhouse ( for portion size ):)

EoghanIRL

Well done .

Didn't even realise blue rare existed .

amdublin

Rare. Verging on rare-blue.

dodderangler

Usually with a blowjob

Mariasofia

Well done....preferably in ciabatta with mushrooms, onions and a lash of pepper sauce.....

StudentDad

Rare, pepper sauce, side salad, few chips and pint of Guinness

Buzz Killington the third

I'm starving now

LoonyLovegood

Medium well. Still tender and a bit pink in the middle, but fully cooked through. I have major issues with anything less, it just creeps me out. Loads of pepper sauce and sweet potato fries with it and I'm in heaven.

It really depends on the type of steak. There's this perception in Ireland that the best steak is the fillet. I'd agree that it's a cut best served to being cooked rare. In Germany we have a wider selection of cuts served as steak. Much of the meat is Irish actually. But the idea that you'd have a rare ribeye is laughable. The fat doesn't even have a chance to render and breakdown if getting it ordered rare. Same for the onglet or a hanger.

The presumption that all steak is somehow at its best cooked rare shows an ignorance of the meat.

A blue steak takes quite a bit of time to prepare. Much longer than even a rare steak, due to the method by which it is cooked. Very few places actually cook a blue steak.

Every 14th March I go home hoping the steak is rare, and the bj's well done, and not the other way round.

Steak has to be ate rare.

The poll should have been "Burnt to a crisp" or "Bloody as hell"

I buy fillet to cook rare, and t-bone for the BBQ but still like it rare. Ribeye is great for mincing because the fat holds the meat together and it's good meat. Makes great burgers! Anything else is only good enough for cooking a stroganoff really.

Knock it's horns off & wipe it's ass.

Angry_Mammarys

Definitely rare, the blood used to turn me off back when I was a novice, but now I love it:D

Mint Sauce

Medium.

If in France, well done. If you have ordered steak in France you will understand.

woodoo

I like it medium but it almost never comes out like that.

I'd rather a medium rib-eye than a rare fillet. It's not just about the cooking.

Its not actually blood, most of that is removed during the slaughtering process. Its caused by water in the meat mixing with a protein present in it, which gives the juice on the plate its colour.

Once steak is cooked to a certain temperature is safe to eat. After that its a mater of taste, be that well done, medium, rare, or even blue.

I blame a trip to France for my taste for rare steak. So does my sister. Up until then we had always been given it well done and didn't know how lovely it was!

Rare, anything more than that and its cremated.
