How do you like your steak?

rob316

Isn't steak just great, no food makes me happier eating it.

How do you like your steak cooked?

Medium rare myself, although I would eat it rarer than that, I just can't stand for well done steak though, seems utterly pointless and tasteless.

Mr. FoggPatches

Cooked.

It annoys me when I hear a person ordering a well done steak, especially a good cut like fillet.

Just order a burger you philistine!

I liked them well cooked until I started going to France a lot and since then it's been rare all the way. So much nicer.

Pisses me off too, its basically burned and all the flavour is cooked out of it.

I mean have they ever had a properly cooked steak or are they just turned off by the blood which isn't even blood its water and protein.

Blue - although it's hard to get one cooked blue properly.

I like steak medium to well done, and I just love when some annoying kunt at the table tells me I can't/shouldn't eat it that way.

How Soon Is Now

Medium rare. Burgers more or less the same once mince is good.

What's the point in dry flavourless piece of meat?

Rare to medium rare depending on where I am. Some places really overcook them.

medium rare

I grew up in family of extremely well done (burnt) steak eaters.
I didn't know any different until I learned that wasn't really the way it was supposed to be.
I'm slowly training myself to eat it less cooked and am happily eating
medium-well at the moment. Small steps

I don't like meat with blood still visible, it is how wild animals eat meat...

Just run it through a warm room.

Any more?

Well done steak is a waste, in fact when one is ordered in a restaurant most waiters will announce 'one steak wasted chef!' when they hit the kitchen.

Me, 3 minutes each side. On a plate with nothing else and suck and lick the blood up at the end.

What a coincidence, I'm reading a book right now about a guy in the 1800s who tried to cure illnesses (pretty much all illnesses) in his clinic with just a steak and water diet. For years these people were only allowed to eat steak and nothing else apart from coffee later on in their recovery. Seems he was getting some great results too.

It's not blood.

What is it with overcooking everything in this country?

It's either boiled to **** or fried to ****.

Slightly worrying but intriguing. Would you care to extrapolate?

Guess what?

Its hardly blood at all!

Mostly water and protein.

I think that's what I love about, their is something pre-historic about eating slightly cooked meat. I had a T-bone recently, lovely red and juicy, then you pick up the bone and clean anything left on it, felt like a cave man!

And its not blood/

I grew up with the exact same thing!only found it wasn't everyone that had their steak like that a few years ago.

Heat a frying pan best on gas and leave on a high heat for at least 5 minutes without oil. Add steak which has good dousing of good oil applied and properly seasoned.

Immediately turn the steak after 20 seconds and cook for 2.5 minutes. Turn and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Rest the steak in tin foil sunny side (shiny side) out. After 5 minutes served with mashed Patato and onions - there's nothing better than a properly cooked steak just shy of medium.

Medium rare and Rib eye for me.

It gets it colour from hemoglobin in the blood which is still visible.

I prefer meat cooked through, even if it is argued it is cooked when still bloody in the middle...

That said well cooked meat can change the chemical structure in the meat which is not the healthiest.

I prefer poultry meat...and veal in something like a Jager Schnitzel...

Just medium

Get the pan smoking and most importantly, it cant be stressed enough, make sure the steak is at room temperature. Leave it out for 30 min atleast (I like an hour) season with salt and pepper. The longer you leave it the better, as the meat warms the salt and pepper will start to "melt" into it.

When the steak is cooked, take a peeled clove of garlic and rub the clove on the steak. Its outstanding.

2-3 minutes for a nice plump steak each side on the BBQ over a hot flame. You just can't beat a good steak, it practically melts on your tongue like butter.

Yeah, this does my head in. I like my steak well done.

I've tried it rare, medium rare etc and I just don't like it.

If somebody orders a pink steak, I couldn't give a flying fook, just as long as mine is well done. Why people get so upset over others ordering a steak well done is very annoying. I don't care what you say, I still love the taste of it well done !!


I like steak.

Four Phucs Ache

Med rare.

To quote Anthony Bourdain,

"After cooking your steak let it rest.Do not cut it straight away.Give it a few mins.Leave it the fook alone."

super_furry

I don't get the "well done is a waste" thing. It's not for me, but if someone eats it and enjoys it, it's not a waste.

me_irl

I think this sums up my feelings regarding well done.

JupiterKid

Medium well, and I don't give a f*ck what others think. A little pink in the middle and I'm a happy man!

Certain cuts like rib eye are not meant to be eaten blue as you need to render some of the fat to give it flavour.

I cook on as hot a pan as possible. For a thick fillet I sear it on all six sides and then adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of the meat. Charring is critical for flavour.

I then cover it and rest in a warm oven (100 degrees) for ten minutes or so.

The resting makes a big difference to flavour, gives a more palatable internal temperature and prevents an unattractive leakage of blood across the plate.

Was in the butchers this morning buying mince and he ages his steaks for 28 days at 2.3c on hooks above Himalayan salt blocks, and says they are amazing cooked on top of a Himalayan salt block too. Never heard it done before and wonder has anyone tried this out.

BTW Aldi steaks IMO are really good quality and execeptional value.

That's fine. It's only if you overcook it that you face ostracism.
