How do you like your steak cooked?

I like mine medium rare, I find rare makes the steak a bit too jelly like, whereas medium makes it dry and tough. For me medium rare is the sweet spot of moistness and texture.

Medium does not make it dry and tough, it makes it just right.

Hence the name, medium.

I like mine done medium.

A good steak should be cooked to the level to which a good vet could have it mooing again.

Rare or blue for me

ElleEm · 25-10-2012 11:52AM

I like my steak to resemble a warm leather shoe!!

Battleflag · 25-10-2012 11:52AM

Medium + Pepper Sauce + Spuds + Veg

Princess Peach · 25-10-2012 11:53AM

Minced and in a burger!

I'm a barbarian :pac:

medium rare and in jack daniels glaze.

Rare.

Its a chore having my grandmother over for dinner when we're eating beef.

She comes from the mucksavage generation that overcooked the ****e out of everything. She keeps saying little snide comments "oh sure that's not cooked at all".

The other problem is butchers giving you these tiny little midget steaks which require far less cooking. I still reckon a lot of people haven't a clue how to cook steaks.

Rare-Medium is a matter of taste. Anything above that and you don't deserve to be ruining a good steak.

Burnt to a crisp and half it's original size. I want to be sure any CJD that might be present is well and truly dead.

I only like my steaks to be cooked on the finest of hot coals sourced only from the deepest mines in Estonia.

For 14 seconds...

So .... Rare

BBDBB · 25-10-2012 11:55AM

medium and alongside the rest of a mixed grill

Death and Taxes · 25-10-2012 11:57AM

Blue.
Though its damm hard to find a restaurant in this country which undersstands how a blue steak should be properly cooked.

Orim · 25-10-2012 11:59AM

Hot on the outside, cold on the inside

cuilteanna · 25-10-2012 11:59AM

Cooked? Steak tartare is my favourite.

A2LUE42 · 25-10-2012 12:00PM

Blue

Jimminy Mc Fukhead · 25-10-2012 12:02PM

It's rare that I'd eat a steak.

Corcaigh84 · 25-10-2012 12:03PM

Medium rare. Also, poll?

kylith · 25-10-2012 12:03PM

Spot on. A well done steak is a ruined steak imo. Medium or medium rare is the only way to appreciate a good piece of beef.

A well done steak is like a hard poached egg. Fcuked.

Medium rare, anything more and you're a heathen.

I had a mate who posted on facebook how his steak was sizzling for the last 20 mins and he couldn't wait to have it...... *sobs*..

BTW, Heston Blumenthals (sp?) way of cooking a steak is awesome. (ie pan scorching, turn every 15 seconds for around 3 mins).

EDIT: for the blue eaters... do you not find it's a touch too chewy?

Gauss · 25-10-2012 12:12PM

How do you add a poll?

I had a friend come home one night and decide the best thing he could do was stick a steak in the microwave for 20 minutes and then eat it.

He got a smack for crimes against steak.

Esoteric_ · 25-10-2012 12:14PM

I eat it rare or medium rare depending on my mood. Usally medium rare.

And now I want steak for dinner.

Dravokivich · 25-10-2012 12:15PM

Thoroughly

demakinz · 25-10-2012 12:15PM

On the rare occasion i'm out in a restaurant i will order my steak medium rare but when i'm at home and cook steak i cook it rare. It tastes so much better when its juicy and pink. I eat steak for my Christmas dinner instead of turkey.

Jack Daniels glaze sounds yummy. How do you make that?

Medium for me. An 1 1/2" steak, hot pan, 6 minutes each side. No turning inbetween.

25-10-2012 12:16PM

Medium, I find anything less and its cold in the middle which I don't like. I know plenty who wont eat it unless its well done or even very well done.

BBDBB · 25-10-2012 12:16PM

I like mine with a kiss
