Why is getting a rare steak such an impossibility in Ireland?

    Yes, burgers and chicken, and pork need to be cooked through.
    The Irish way, though, is to cook them sufficiently, then cook a good bit more, "just to be sure", rendering chicken, pork and burgers completely dry and tasteless.
    I rarely order any of the above in Ireland unless I have confidence in the restaurant.

    What if people don't like beef but want to support the farmers that will have a very difficult time because of brexit? The best option for them is to remove as much beef flavor as possible.

    They could set up a Patreon.com page for farmers. Or support government to give them subsidies.

    Interesting review of FX Buckleys Pembroke... maybe not the sure bet after all :(

    Rump steak had the best flavour, beefy and rich tasting but was also a bit closer to ‘medium-well’ rather than ‘medium-rare’ as requested.
    My 10oz sirloin (€32) —strictly speaking a striploin — fell the other way and rather than rare was served blue with just 2-3 mm cooked flesh.

    I ate there fairly recently and had the kidneys followed by the sirloin ; a really good steak slightly under my preference for rare but definitely will return.

    I don't get this as all the meat flavour and tenderness have been cooked out of it.

    I don't get this as even a properly cooked well done steak has flavour and tenderness. Maybe ya'll are just getting badly cooked well done steaks? :confused:
