Well done with ketchup and ranch dip.

>>10189287

You carnist prick.

I do mine in the oven at 500 degrees for 1 hour

>>10189287
medium rare. I'd get it rare but don't trust restaurants enough to do it right.

>>10189287
this is medium right?

>>10189379
Medium rare.

>>10189389
But i don't see the rare band.
Was it sous vide?

Raw of course. medium when eating with others to not expose my power level.

>>10189345
this. i might order rare if i go to a nice steakhouse, but medium rare is the reliable option.

>>10189287
is this considered medium or medium rarE?

Medium Well

>>10189429
Don't put too much onions in the sauce.

Fuck off namefag

get out tourist.

>>10189453
Woah, I'm just breakin your balls and you're gettin fuckin fresh.

>>10189396
im no expert. That was my amateur guess.

blue rare with A1, but sometimes well done with A1 or ketchup

Grass fed and unholy.

Purely depends on the cut. Usually medium when in doubt. Medium rare when I cook my own. Grass fed is always best.

I like rare

>>10189396
there shouldnt be a "rare band"

>>10189287
Rare if it’s an expensive steak. Medium rare otherwise

>>10189601
oh bullshit

>>10189287
Medium rare probably 95% of the time. Occasionally I like a good rare steak.

>>10189396
>Was it sous vide?
I don't know, but it looks like it, since it is so uniform in done-ness.

>>10189433

>>10189605
On a traditionally cooked steak, there is often a gradation from the outside in, some people refer to this as banding. A properly cooked Sous Vide steak will not have this banding, as it was heated just to the temperature wanted.
However, I don't think there is such a thing as a rare band, since that would require the steak to be cooked from the inside out, resulting in a medium center surrounded by a band of rare meat. That Anon probably meant a band of medium rare surrounding a rare center.

Medium master race checking in. Nothing better than a medium steak with bleu cheese on top.

>>10189287
Medium rare. Best is sliced thin and served with dipping sauces/fancy salts, but I'm too lazy to do that at home

>>10189637
>That Anon probably meant a band of medium rare surrounding a rare center.
Why can't you call the center a band?

>>10189648
I mean, I guess you could. Most people though will assume a band is the bit that encircles, not the bit encircled. Since you'd usually just call that bit the center.

Rib eye, dry aged and rare. topped with bone marrow butter, sauteed mushrooms, and caramelized or fried onions. seared cast iron, served with Yukon gold potatoes (chefs choice on style), and some kind of charred brassica. we can make concessions on the sauce, I like a good charcuterie or bearnaise as much as anyone else, and I'm definitely into foie gras and truffles.

If you can't pull this off just hit it with some s and p, give it to me rare with some chimmichurri babe that'll do just fine

Medium rare is the only correct answer.

>>10189287
blue with A1

>>10189287
Rare. I'll eat medium rare though. Medium and beyond are getting sent back. If someone fucks it up at home, I wouldn't complain regardless of it being burnt to shit. An attempt was made, you know?

au poivre

>>10189287

>>10189833
>An attempt was made, you know?
Dubs of truth. I am saddened by how many people discount this.

>>10189287
Medium rare

>>10190047
Same

Depends if it's a nice cut in a trusted restaurant I enjoy blue rare if it's a small portion but on a big steak or a kinda off place I go for rare

>>10189287
Medium is perfect. Anything cooked past medium becomes dry, anything below and it becomes chewy.

>>10189287
Boiled over hard.

Well done, but most people do it wrong and just serve dry burnt meat.

>>10190273
What are you cooking anon?

>>10190426

t. never caught on that when i order well done at 9/10 places they serve me medium, which is what i actually like

>>10190437
Milksteak

I prefer medium. Medium rare is too chewy to me, like raw meat. With medium I still get that nice bloody flavour but with a more palatable texture.

>>10190437
A Philly classic

>>10189287

>>10189287
no lie, well done occasionally will do medium well. Don't like the softness of undercooked beef. Prefer to actually chew my food instead of gumming it.

I like it medium and I dont care much for ribeyes because they are so fatty. everyone always says "but its sooo good" but I just dont care much for eating steak fat. at least its not chicken fat tho

Blue.

Medium rare. Anything less done is for tryhard faggots who pretend to enjoy slimy, unrendered fat. The exception being filet, which is very lean.

Just in case this isn't bait, the red liquid is not blood, it's myoglobin. It's just water and proteins from inside the cells.
If you prefer the flavour of well done beef, you are probably better off cooking a burger, because they are basically prechewed by grinding and so they stay tender well done, and you can adjust the amount of fat for juiciness to your liking. That said, eat whatever the fuck you like

>>10191027
Go to a great steakhouse and order a dry aged cut cooked Pittsburgh black and blue.

Medium rare to medium. as long as there's still at least a bit of pink im happy

>>10191052

Try Jackson Hole Hebrew. It's the best doneness.

>>10191027
You're just parading your inability to cook if you think that a rare steak is full of 'slimy, unrendered fat'.

>>10189287
Medium rare or not at all

Medium well or well done I guess
I took my steak of the grill early last night, cut into it saw the pink and took a bite, it tasted like a rubber gel.
I think just don't know how to make well done steaks, you can get it brown all the way and there are no problems with what anyone here claims.

Used to swear by blue, now I'm leaning more towards rare to mid rare. Also depends on the cut, but no matter the steak I'll take it with a hasselback potato, roasted asparagus and a Diane sauce

>>10189287

almost well done, with heavy charring.

Medium with a pan sauce for most cuts, rare for loin

>>10189287
Medium rare. Seasoned with salt & pepper.

this is what i order, but rarely do restaurants do it well
so many restaurants I've been to seem to think that everyone just wants a rare steak, and gives me some rare mess back

>>10191778
ONE GODDAMN JOB ANON

>>10189287
I can honestly get down with steak anywhere from well done to blue-rare. it's literally never bothered me how it's cooked

>>10189287
Medium, or medium rare if it's well aged.

I don't. Steak is the most overrated food ever, except for maybe pork chops. I'd rather eat liver or sardines.

>>10189287
Honest answers, you ask? Ok, steak is fucking bland. VERY little flavor, and the flavor it does have is not exactly special. Steak is boring. There is more flavor if you bite into an orange. Why do you think steak sauce exists? I know, I know... its for those plebs that don't appreciate the exquisite flavor of a cow like you do rite? No, man, its because the flavor actually isn't all that good without assistance of salt, pepper and for many people - a variety of sauces. WAKE-DAH-FUCK-UP.

>>10189287
exactly like that

>>10193805
completely incorrect, mr. reddit

>>10193805

t. smoker with no taste buds left

I'd like a petit filet mignon, very lean. Not so lean that it lacks flavor, but not so fatty that it leaves drippings on the plate. And I don't want it cooked, just lightly seared on either side, pink in the middle. Not a true pink, but not a mauve either, somewhere in between. Bearing in mind, the slightest error either way and it's ruined.

Beefy

>>10193853

faggoty meat marshmallow. get a real cut like ribeye.

>>10189287

Personally, I prefer Medium.

It depends on the quality of the meat. If the meat is shit then I'll cook it more, but if it's good medium rare

>>10189345
what kind of shit hole are you eating in where you don't trust the food being served to you?

also, for a steak rare vs med-rare isn't going to make a difference from a food safety perspective because a steak is a solid chunk of meat, so long as the exterior hits temp you'll be fine.

jesus christ being this fucking ignorant.

Medium Well. Well Done is too dry, Medium isn't cooked enough.

>>10191855
Nice.

>>10190636
Shit anon. I put this on my Allrecipes as one of mine. Said it was a Philly favorite that's sure to please.

>>10189639
I agree with this message.

Medium rare master race here.

I like it rare cooked with olive oil, garlic, and salt. Seasoned to taste with pepper and more salt.

Shitposting aside, has anyone ordered a blue steak, and if you have, did you rike it?

>>10195314
>University of Nottingham scientists spiked steak samples with E.coli bacteria, then cooked them
PANIC

>>10195314
Yeah, it was OK but I prefere rare and seared on the outside.

Steak tartare is pretty good though.

>>10189287
wagyu bavette rare

>>10189287
medium with garlic butter

>>10189287
I don't get the whole blue/rare thing. Is it not dangerous to eat undercooked?

I was raised in a family that overcooks everything (because one time auntie blah blah got sick after eating undercooked blah blah blah). Every steak in our house is well done. I only started eating medium-rare when out because of the shaming I got.

I'm still paranoid as fuck though.

>>10189287
Rare with lots of salt. Preferably a ribeye.

Usually medium. Medium rare if it's a good restaurant

>>10189287
High quality cut? Blue rare.

Decent cut? Medium rare.

Shit cut? Why bother.

>>10189314
This.

>>10193805
Definitely needs salt, but I otherwise disagree. For me the salt is necessary to bring out the flavor.

>>10194682
FUCKING FUCKFACE ASSMUNCH. Fine, dubs right now and they fuck off

Well done. But I usually make it medium or order it medium to not be a pleb.

Once over on each side with a flashlight, as my father used to say.

>>10189287
If I could get away with it, raw.

>>10189287
For me, a good crust is equally as important as the doneness/temperature. I like medium rare ribeyes seared hard as fuck

>>10189287
Anything passed medium. Raw meat tastes like shit.

>>10189287
Over easy

>>10189287

Rare porterhouse, with a Long Island iced tea, side of American (ranch) dressing and fresh bread to dip in the dressing. 'Tis what gets my steakdick hard.

>>10189287
Medium to medium-well

Rare is preferable but I’ll enjoy it however it’s cooked

Medium well. If it's too rare it just weirds me out.

About like pic related. Medium i guess? Preferably ribeye

>>10189287

>>10189322
You are a fucking homosexual

Ribeye med rare. I live for dat spinalis dorsi

Grassfed beef cooked in a pan with butter and a little garlic at less than medium heat. Ladle the butter over the top while cooking. When halfway up the side, turn it over and cook the same period of time for the second time. Keep ladling butter over the top.

Should come out about medium well.

Shaken, not stirred.

>>10189287
Rare when at a fine establishment.

Medium rare at a place I don't trust not to give me food poisoning
