Anywhere from medium rare to medium well.

I suck at judging "doneness", and I'm not picky.. so I throw it on there until it "looks good" and eat it wherever it happens to be!

I tend to go for medium if it's a place I've never been, medium rare if I think they'll actually get it above rare.

For me, the middle has to be warm. I don't care if my plate is covered in blood, that shit doesn't bug me, but I find biting into a cold piece of steak unpleasant.

It shouldn't be cold in the middle if you let the steak sit out for 30-60 mins before cooking. Never cook it straight out of the fridge.

I don't know how, but my grandmother cooks steak in a frying pan and it's fucking amazing.

I'd love to ask her how, but I honestly can't stand the woman. Her cooking is the only thing I enjoy about my yearly guilt driven visit.

I take my steak and sear it in a non stick pan [I don't put oil or butter or anything in it, I heat it till it starts smoking] at that point, I'll put butter or extra virgin olive oil [they're about the same] on the outside of the meat .

Then I'll throw it in, cook for 20 or 30 seconds. Flip it and do another thirty or so second, then I slid it out, and put it on a glass plate
I put it in the microwave, and zap it for three minutes at high

Comes out perfect every time. And it keeps my room mates from asking me to make them food because they're worried about radiation

Medium rare a bit more on the rare side.

Anything under just has zero flavor to it aside from the rawness of the meat.

Medium rare to medium

Medium rare for anything of quality and or at least know to be fresh.

Medium for steaks my family buys or what mostly offered at my friends.

Reason being my family, girlfriends family, and friends buy on cheat grocery store steaks. Often on sale. And I don't trust them

Steaks I buy I'm happy to cook medium rare.


Also for think cut steaks.. or steaks I get from my local proper butcher. Often much thinker then your regular store cut. I use the constant flip method/ or sear and broil finish.

Constant flip method (lack of better term) basically you don't go with the one flip is the best and only way bullshit that everyone thinks is best. And don't give me some bullshit about how Gordon Ramsay and others suggest to cook that way. Yes they do but they also use other methods for specialty cuts most loser never cook at home. Professional have way more tricks then they will show you in demo.

Using cast iron or carbon iron pan. Flip the steak every 30 or so seconds. Adding butter half way or near the end spooning it over the steak constantly. At this point you can add aromatics (garlic, rosemary, ect.), or sometype of rub/ seasoning. By adding your seasoning at the end it doesn't burn 99% of the flovor off the steak. That shit doesn't absorb into the steak. It's merely a coating on the outside. Well at least virtually.

I'm coming off as steak snob but I'm really not. It's not in my budget honestly. It's a tread.. and I enjoy cooking from friends in family. Even when it sucks.

The one thing that pisses me off is people insisting that one flip is the ultimate and only correct way to cook a steak. That is full on bullshit.


example..

*cooking starts at 1min.. this guy is a bit of character haha.. Also the steak is extra dark from the coffee rub and lighting.

It's not fucking hard. If you are more experienced, you can flip the steak every 15 seconds for a more even doneness, but it's optional.

Medium-Rare steak every fucking time.

So I am a bit of a convert. Beef isnt my favourite meat, never has been, when I was younger I would insist on it being welldone, I couldnt stand the sight of the juice, and I ould usually smother it in mustard.

About two years ago, my boyfriend and I went out to a bar and grill, both ordered very expensive steaks, and from reading (particualr from /ck/) that "this kills the cow, I ordered mine rare.

It was probably the best steak I have ever had. This doesnt always translate well, cause of course you're not going to get prime cuts or perfectly aged beef at home, but If I see its a good piece now I almost always get it rare.

Sprinkled with coarse pepper. On the stovetop in a heavily buttered pan. Burner set between 'simmer' and 'medium'. Watch side of steak until sides show cooking about half way through and with light browning on the side. Flip and repeat. Let steak rest, on wire rack if available, while I wash the dishes I used to cook it. Then eat.

Maybe she learned to cook at a time when grass fed beef was common. Cook gently. Learn to do that with grass fed beef and it works really well with grain fed beef, too.
