I'd eat it, but it needs to be thinly sliced otherwise you are chewing for days

>>17419498
I eat my steak medium rare but blue is too far imo also if you eat steak any more done than medium you should kys

>>17419530
Fuck you, bastard. Here in India we eat well done with ketchup.

>>17419498
this is how I eat little pieces of steak that I've seared for stew. When you got 2.5lbs of browned meat in front of you and stew is 2.5 hours away it's hard not to take a couple munches.

I would eat, I don't care, have eaten raw chicken 50 times and never caught salmonella, if I get it I do but living in fear is not worth the hassle.

>>17419561
Fuck off Pajeet

>>17419498
Looks spot on for me desu.

>>17419515
I don't find it incredibly chewy, especially when compared to well-done steak. I do prefer it sliced up, though, hence my cutting up of it shown in the photo. I usually cut it in half once more after that, as well.

>>17419572
I just cooked and ate that steak for dinner. It was incredibly tender; very delicious. It was sirloin, and the fat obviously didn't render incredibly well and was pretty tough, but it was only on the edges. I've had several relatives and classmates insist I will get parasites or food-poisoning from eating steak this way, but thus far have had no issues whatsoever. Picrel was the sirloin before cooking. Do you cut the fat off when cooking it blue rare, or keep it on and eat it?

Blue rare is pretty great, it's how I prefer my steaks. I'm constantly left disappointed when I go out to eat and get told the staff won't serve blue rare meat. This just tells me they most likely have poor quality steaks.

Best way to eat beef

>>17419498
If the cow was slaughtered less than an hour ago, sure.

Otherwise, no thanks. There's no way a blue rare steak reached the internal temperature required to kill any bacteria.

>>17419629
I've never actually eaten blue rare steak that I haven't cooked myself. Actually, I've never eaten any steak that I haven't cooked myself... It's always so expensive at restaurants. Whilst it can be fairly expensive to buy it from my local butcher, it is never that expensive, and I feel more confident as I know more about where it has come from. It's a shame that they won't serve it, and often-times when they agree to, from what I am aware, it is not as rare as one may like. Hesitancy. I recommend just cooking your own steak. Eating steak out seems to be a rip-off most of the time.

>>17419498
I prefer my steak better cooked. I'd eat it after throwing it back into the pan for a bit. Steak is best when cooked Medium Rare at minimum.

at that part i would prefer to just eat it entirely raw. like it looks somewhat cooked but on the inside it isnt. i dont care about the bacteria really i just dont want to be surprised by it

>>17419498
I like it but the problem is it gets cold really fast. So I usually just go for rare so it stays warm in the middle.

People who order rare steak are the biggest fucking retards on the planet and wasting good meat worse than the dumbasses who order it well done.

The perfect steak is a combination of flavor AND texture. You want the fat rendered, you want that malliard reaction, you eant feeling and flavor.

Medium is the true path.
Medium rare fags are okay I guess.

>>17419654
>This kills the american

>>17419561
i thought y'all couldn't eat beef

>>17419563
>I would eat, I don't care, have eaten raw chicken 50 times and never caught salmonella, if I get it I do but living in fear is not worth the hassle.

That’s raw ew

>>17419983
Cooked well done, it's no longer recognizably beef, so I guess it's fine.

>>17419498
I like a slightly better sear than that, but blue interior is a-okay. Love it like that, well salted.

>>17419515
I don't understand why idiots try to cut off an ounce of their 8-10 oz steaks at a time anyways. They probably cut them in the wrong direction anyways. Lord forbid you enjoy your meal. If you're just going to stuff your face let me pick it up with my hands and go at it like god intended.

I eat it well done with ketchup/tomatoes, and fries
Pic rel

>>17419498
That is raw, not rare.

>>17419498
That's raw as fuck

>>17419498
Crust looks like shit and it's raw inside.
I don't mind raw meat but I personally don't prefer my steaks that way , the fat doesn't render properly and the consistency is subpar compared to rare or medium rare

>>17419498
For me it’s medium rare

>>17419498
Just eat steak tartare. It's good with french fries.

>>17421301
>Just eat steak tartare
Maillard reaction is more than just a meme. And people order big cuts charred rare for a reason too; meat is mildly sweet some bitter exterior goes well with it. That's not to say I don't like tartare and yukhoe.

>>17421378
I know the Maillard reaction is how you get tasty seared flavors, I just don't like little cooked bits in my fancy raw hamburger. Cold smoking tartare meat is pretty good, though.

some tryhard meme, medium-rare is perfect.

>>17419629
most places legally can't serve you blue, it has to reach a certain internal temperature as required by the FDA or get fined out of business.

>>17419498
I don't eat steak much, but I like it regular rare. If I ever have the opportunity to eat at a good steakhouse, I'll definitely try blue.

>>17421673
Get off the internet grandpa. It's your job to fuck up the rest of the world, not shitpost here.

>>17419498
I aim for medium rare but im terrible at judging the timing so it ends up well done sometimes, cant say im that bothered, i still eat it, food is food at the end of the day and a preference is just a preference.

>>17419562
We have all made slow cooked meals. It’s telling that you eat the blue steak and not the vegetables.

>>17419498
Basically a meme frauds take seriously.

Rare and colder means the fat hasn't rendered.
eating a blue rare steak is basically just as sacrilegious as eating well done as far as I'm concerned.

>>17421813
Buy a meat thermometer.

Literally the only reason anyone eats blue rare steak, is to say they eat their steak blue rare.
No one actually like it. They just think telling Joe at the water cooler "Yeah, I eat my steak blue rare."will make them look cool and refined. But really, you're just a tool.

>>17422033
>54 degrees
the steak is already fucked if you're getting to 54 internal mate

>>17421796
>anime poster
get over here and give me some of the bussy lil 'girl' I got a 5 dollar bill so you can buy a game on steam for you. There is a sale going on right now ya' know.

i havent had it, i look at it and it doesnt look appealing. would be chewy unless its a very expensive cut. id stil try it though

>>17422044
taking off at 54C will result in a medium steak.

>>17422071
medium fucked maybe

>>17419498
got blue in a hotel in london
by the time it came to my room the center was cold, which made it just feel uncooked and unpleasant
maybe would do at a restaurant but id need some provocation of excellence, otherwise skip the blue

>>17422035
>meat thermometer

Get off the internet grandpa. It's your job to fuck up the rest of the world, not shitpost here.

>>17419888
This. I think people enjoyed a juicy medium steak, and they (falsely) assume that rare is more juicy, so it must be better. Gummy tough fat is horrible. Uncooked chewy beef is horrible. There is no reason to eat a steak less than medium.

blue-rare is a pain because it goes cold too quickly unless I heat my plate up, but it's pretty good

>>17422033
melting point is anywhere from 30c up to 45c depending on the cut and the composition, you don't need to fully render it to make it delicious

>>17419498
why even dirty the pan if you're going to eat it raw

>>17419562
2 points to be made here.
You are either
1. Eating cuts of tough meat intended for stewing raw.
2. You are stewing cuts of meat not intended for stewing.

>>17419498
It's stupid stunt food always ordered by the most annoying person in the group. Not saying this because of food safety either, not putting enough heat into the meat to knock out the stretchy chewing gum texture is just retarded.

Steak, in general, is a low-tier food. It's only real place is as a filler in things like stew and fajitas. To make steak the entire entree is clown-world tier, almost as bad as making lobster an entire entree.

Used to make them when I worked chef many years ago, literally just a flash in the pan both sides then done. We had to stop because well... If someone got sick we'd get fucked... But it was very popular when we did it.

I'm not into sashimi in general. If I was served blue steak, I'd try a bite as I'd never had it before, but it'd probably be just as mediocre as expected, and I'd decline the rest.
I cook my own steak medium-well: ever so slightly undercooked.

>>17421277
I like this chart: it's remarkably honest. In recent years, I've often seen aficionados of rare steaks create dishonest charts, where they claim that medium steaks are what this chart labels well-done.
>>17421813
Cut your steaks open occasionally to check color, or as the other reply stated, a thermometer can help.

>>17422044
Medium rare is 135f. I dunno what you're going on about.

>>17422106
You enjoy your overcooked steak.
Professionals and enthusiasts will use a thermometer.
Only reason kitchen chefs don't is because they'd rather gamble the customer doesn't give a shit and save the 5 seconds checking with a probe.

Yeah, bad quality beef and low hygiene standards, I wouldn't eat anything rare in India either.

>>17422922
this is a low-tier post.

>>17419498
Tastes gross

Watch this and then try and eat raw meat again.

>>17419888
You're the retard. Fat and connective tissues render at rare and medium rare temperatures. They just need more time, which is why reverse searing in the oven or sous vide is so nice. You can hold your steak at a rare temp for a couple of hours and then finish with a very hot sear and get everything you just mentioned.

>>17426456
wtf are you talking about?
135f is a perfect medium rare, 54c = 135f
Do you actually cook food or are you just using "it sounds right in my head" logic?

>>17426497
t. enjoys chewy garbage

>>17426516
So no. You never actually cooked your own steak.

>>17419498
I don't like that it's cold in the middle, feels wrong in my mouth.

>>17422267
>meat not intended for stewing
You asked god and he personally told you which parts of the cow he "intended" to be used in a stew? Shut the fuck up.

>>17419982
i fucking love steak tartare, i eat it at least once a week. eat mett quite often as well, now that's what really scares the americans. never got sick.

>>17419888
Raw meat tastes better than cooked meat.
Only reason you throw the meat in the pan in the first place is to get some shit in the pan for a nice sauce.

>>17421217
Mr. President you started a lot of great things but please stay out of the way and allow Gov DeSantis to get the nomination in 2024, we don't stand a chance any other way

>>17421378
does steak tar tar taste good? never ate good steak or anything.

>>17419498
blue rare is what people call it when they accidentally undercooked their steak but don't want to admit they fucked up so they pretend they did it on purpose. i like my steak rare but that's just raw my guy

>>17430628
It tastes good if you like the taste of just beef. There's various raw seafood dishes, and I've had some raw lamb. If they serve you shit beef there's another problem.

i like well done but if i fuck up and make it medium i'll just eat it anyway even though it doesn't taste as good
can't imagine anything less magically tasting better

>>17419498
Is it even hot in the middle like that? Doesn't look like it has a sear

>>17430679
Hot no, it's usually warm at best.

>>17419561
Fuck your mother bich i fuck you bich bastard fuck you

I eat meat raw if I know where it came from and it doesn't have worms.

>>17419530
You dumbfucks always say this, but what happens when you refrigerate it? Quite literally, well done is the only steak that is safe to eat, because it reduces the chance of salmonella poisoning.

The only time medium rare is acceptable is if someone was aiming for well done.

>>17419498
>How do you cook your steak?

>>17421813
Based. Beef is good no matter what . I prefer medium rare but I’ll still gladly eat a well done. People who are anal about it being as raw as possible just think it sounds masculine.
