it was an accident but I super slow roasted/baked a steak too long until it was well done. Like gray throughout but still juicy with rendered fat. It was good. But that was cooked insanely slow and I was still rustled.

well done from fry/grill is literal shoe leather I don't get the appeal..

Regarding well done steak, it might surprise people to learn, but quite a few old time ranchers and cowboys and their families liked their steaks well done. They grew up with the idea that you had to cook them well done to make sure they harbor germs that would make them sick.

A few years ago, one local restaurant had steak on their all you can eat Sunday buffet. The restaurant was okay, but nothing special. I was there with a few other people including the elderly matriarch of one farm/ranch family who was definitely of the well done persuasion.

My second steak that day was seriously undercooked. After one bite I was ready to send it back, but since the matriarch of that family had a fit when she saw how undercooked it was, I ate the entire thing right in front of her.

Yeah if you're cooking it the whole time at the same temperature you'd cook a medium-rare steak at then it'll end up being too tough. But you can sear it and then cook it at a lower temperature until it's just finished, and it won't be leather that way. I kind of prefer the texture of a properly cooked well-done steak but it's easier to screw up compared to medium-rare.

Donald J Trump himself prefers his steaks cooked well done. Considering he’s a literal patrician and New York Royalty and former President of the US with billions of dollars, I’d say his tastes are more refined then most. In fact I’ve started eating my steaks well done due to Trump and I have to admit that when cooked right it’s better than rare or medium rare ever could be.

My coworker, he says he would never eat a steak that isn’t well done.
But he is weird about food in general. He refuses to eat anything with bone in it such as bone-in chicken thighs because he “doesn’t trust bones”.
He also once freaked out because there was a bit of sinew in his braised beef.

Growing up my mother used to always cook it well done. Steak was always chewy and nasty.

When I got older and started cooking my steak to medium or medium rare she would freak out and tell me that it wasn't cooked through and that I'd get sick from eating it. Just about everything my mother made was cooked to fuck though. Once I grew up, one of the biggest impacts I saw in terms of taste came simple from not cooking shit so fucking long.

Am black and can chime in, parents and all extended family all cook their beef well done because they're deathly afraid of foodborne illness. Both parents have acknowledged that beef cooked at medium or medium rare like how I eat it is more juicy but they can't get past the "blood" and potential of getting sick from undercooked meat, which is retarded considering pops eats sunnyside up eggs decently regularly. It's the same reason most black people soak chicken before cooking it.

I don't know who the fuck those people were but I don't know ANY black people who wash any kind of meat with soap, all my family does is either rinse it or soak it in a bowl of water for like 30-45 minutes. I've tried to tell them that it isn't necessary because any germs that's on the meat will die when cooked to temperature but superstitions are hard to break. I don't bother to wash meat when I cook for them since it doesn't do a damn thing and it's just an extra unnecessary step, and it's not like they'd notice if I did or didn't do it.

I have a really retarded *thing* about this that I'm also fully aware of but can never stop doing despite my best efforts. I remember growing up while there was a mad cow disease scare, and remember my parents always talking about it, and like whenever my dad was grilling something there was this whole song and dance of, ok it's done, let's cut into it, ooh not fully cooked, back on the grill, then finally to the table, cut again, ooh, let's just nuke it in the microwave for 30 seconds to be 100% sure/safe

To this day, I never make anything 'rarer' than medium-well at home. One dumb thing about this is whenever I eat out, I always want medium or medium-rare. And the most retarded thing about this all is that for my family, it was literally a phase, long since then, as a grown ass man etc... visiting my folks on various occasions, or them visiting me, they cook something, I cook something we're all reminiscing about it; etc etc... They cook steaks great (highly subjective, but for me; that's medium) , and they always call me out for overcooking shit, and it's all like irreversible mental trauma for me (I mean this in the most facetious way possible, I can't stop doing it, but I do find it quite amusing) that I have to nuke anything I personally make in my own home to a gray dead husk out of fear of foaming at the mouth and falling down randomly dead the next day; even as much as I know that's retarded, and am fine with eating rare-r steaks cooked by friends/families/restaurants because that somehow vindicates me of responsibility/risk

I do. I like it rare, medium rare, medium, medium well done and well done. The only way I wouldn't have it is raw unseared like that swedish cunt

Me. I also like them rare and medium rare and medium. Hell, I like steak raw. Usually order them rare to medium rare, though.

Lean (cheap) cuts unquestionably taste better well done. I think that's the only way I'd eat it. Rare lean meat makes no sense.
I've never had chicken fried steak but I imagine it's the same, cheap cut of meat should be well done.

Juicier marbled cuts of course are better rare. If I can't finish it and stuff it in the fridge for the night I'm 50/50 on it being either rare or medium, and might not even mind it much if it's well done.
