Beef becomes very tough and flavorless if it is overcooked (past medium) unless you braise or stew it in liquid or slowly smoke it barbecue style. If you overcook a steak you are basically throwing away money and disrespecting the dead cow.

The only "safety" reason to prefer well-done is if you are knowingly consuming diseased beef regularly, and even then it's a very marginal difference between well-done and medium

Doneness autism is retarded. I laugh imagining you freaks sticking your little thermometers inside meat looking for the right temp. I just sear the meat until it's appealingly brown and eat it. It's always a random roll between medium rare and well-done.

I prefer the texture and flavour of seasoned rare or medium rare steak to well done (and freshly ground burgers medium to med-well). I find well done beef is better for things like stews that are tenderizing and flavouring the beef as it cooks, or anything that has sat or has to sit for a while without curing (burgers from pre-ground mince, cold cuts).

That's perfect advertising, it's designed to deceive you, it's not so much that the steakums inherently have no carbs, but they have a picture of a cheesesteak right next to it.

[Anonymous No.20324241]

>>20324178
it's because they're too retarded to know any better. growing up all i knew was well-done because that's how my parents cooked the steaks. when i finally moved out and cooked steak not well-done, it was like unlocking a whole new world. i kinda resented my parents for not telling me about this (they probably didn't know any better either).

just a buzzword phrase to appeal to people whove fallen for the 'carbs make you fat' meme.
its amazing how many people dont understand the basics of nutrition; i even had to explain to my own mother that 'fat' isnt a bad thing, because she thought it was. she assked me if i wanted low fat milk, and was surprised when i said to make sure it has fat, god bless her.
all these products with 'low fat' have made her think fat makes you fat. the woman has no idea about calories or anything like that.

I eat blue-rare steaks but sometimes I get a craving for well-done

[Anonymous No.20326175]

I always ordered medium rare, but one night I grabbed a ribeye from the store and accidentally cooked it rare.

It was so good I only get rare now.

[Anonymous No.20326408]

Once you've tasted one rare steak you've tasted them all. It has this weird "raw" flavour that's kind of interesting but not ideal in my opinion. The trade-off is you get a slightly nicer texture. I'd rather cook it properly and get all the lovely fats soft and delicious.

I settle for medium-well simply because it's so easy to overdo it once you reach well done, better to err on the slightly undercooked side.

[Anonymous No.20328933]

>>20328904
For me it's about the type of steak. The more fat, the more I like it cooked. A filet mignon I'm happy to eat on the rare side, but to me a ribeye is best when it's just about medium. Anything more than that is still not my jam …except for ground beef, which I like well done. Yes, even on burgers.

[Anonymous No.20328967]

>>20324710
I used to think exclusively like that too but I learned that there are cultures that eat raw meat with no issues, and even my own culture has 1 food involving cooked bulgur, not cooked red raw meat that you ground up, a few smallish chunks of walnut, a small amount of red pepper paste, a sprig of parsley and then dipped into olive oil, called Kibbeh Nae and it tastes really good, digests well and I’ve never gotten sick from it no matter the frequency or quantity I consumed it, so I realized cleaner cuts of meat are actually safe to eat raw and that that issue of food poisoning is more of a factory farming issue and cross contamination hygiene issue(and thus applies to unwashed vegetables and cooked meat too) not raw meat being inherently bacterial.

[Anonymous No.20329777]

>>20328967
Things will grow on the outside of beef and work their way in. It's why the pellicle gets cut off of aged beef. The reason you're not supposed to eat packaged ground beef raw is that everything that was on the outside of the meat gets spread throughout, and has had some time to grow (presumably below 4C, but there's still a possibility that a colony of whatever HENSS/etc. microbes could take hold at that temp within 24h).

But yeah, well raised, well butchered, and well prepared meat is safe enough for most people most of the time... and on the other side of that, close-quarter monocultures (factory farming, pulp forestry, even zoos, gardens, and lawns) can sprout interesting diseases and pests that can wipe out crops, livestock, and people.

An actually good chef doesn't need to ask. He just cooks the steak perfectly, in a way to maximize the flavor.

>>20323251
>or slowly smoke it barbecue style
different cuts of meat, usually with a lot of connective tissue.
you don't smoke a sirloin or a porterhouse.
the only technically correct way to cook a steak cut is no more than medium. it just objectively gets much tougher and drier after medium-rare, which is the perfect steak according to many, for a reason. Cuts with a lot of marbling like kobe can probably withstand a longer cooking time, but just because the meat juices get replaced by rendered intramuscular fat.
in short: do you like well-done beef? Fine, just don't use a steak cut to cook it like a steak, because you're ruining it

[Anonymous No.20334879]

>every time i ask for
most people order wrong, the most common one is:
moron eats at restaurant X all the time and orders "medium rare" sends it back as being underdone. cooks know what medium rare is but cook it the way they want, next time they come in waitstaff says "moron is here for his medium steak" gets his medium steak and continues to think it is medium rare.

moron goes to another restaurant and asks for medium rare. gets upset because he got a medium rare steak.

now because of all the idiots out there, where ever I go and order a steak medium rare the poor bedraggled wait staff has to tell me "warm red center".

I asked many years ago why they all do this now at all restaurants and they told me because too many morons have fits when they order a steak a certain way, then get it but it's not what they expect because the other restaurant they go to don't know how to cook meat or because of what I posted in the first paragraph.

personally I order medium rare and as long as the steak gets to me is rare, medium rare or at most medium, I'm OK. but 99% of restaurants get it right everytime.
