    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,083 ✭✭✭✭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?

  • Registered Users Posts: 27,321 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


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

    medium rare


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 894 ✭✭✭Corkgirl18


    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 :D

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,180 ✭✭✭Mena


    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/

    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.
