Been thinking about cooking a steak dinner for a while now but i don't want to waste money making a shit steak. I know its all subjective but how do you guys like your steaks?

[Anonymous No.9451697]

>>9451591
Yes. And the rule of thumb is the leaner the rarer because the meat will get tougher faster because there is no intramuscular marbling. While a ribeye you will want to cook a bit longer to melt the fat.

[Anonymous No.9451706]

I hate this chart because they're all over cooked. Steak should ideally be baked at 275 from frozen then seared or cooked in a sous vide then seared, so it's uniformly cooked. Medium rare is ideal.

medium well

[Anonymous No.9451777]

well done. it might be a bit drier but i prefer the texture. it's great with a cream and peppercorn sauce made in the pan after cooking the steak.

>mfw everyone gets mad when i tell them i prefer well done and tries to convince me that my personal preference is wrong

[Anonymous No.9451795]

Fuck that, it isn't subjective. Rare to medium is the only way to cook a steak. Anything else is either under-cooked or overcooked, which is how savages and peasants eat their food.

your preference isn't wrong, you are objectively wrong.

Lets use another example: You are getting free money, do you want 5 dollars or 5000 dollars? One answer is quantitatively, objectively better than the other. Same with steak, you're an idiot for taking the 5 dollars.

Medium rare is good, medium well is pretty bad, anything after that silly, it gets dry, flavorless, and crispy, rare is ok, but I don't fuck with it, because it's a bit risky.

[Anonymous No.9453724]

>>9451426
I prefer rare. In a restaurant I will accept medium rare if I ordered rare. I will not pay for a steak if it is cooked longer. Outside of a restaurant, I'd still eat longer-cooked steaks out of respect for the cow or family member/friend who can't cook steaks to specified doneness.

[Anonymous No.9453734]

medium rare is best for most cuts. the lean ones without much collagen can go rarer.

[Anonymous No.9453737]

>>9451777
I don't like well-done at all but I feel bad for people who do, some people are so weirdly uptight about it. I worked at one restaurant where the chef straight-up wouldn't do well-done steak.

Some well-done people are annoying though, it might just be memeing but the people going on about how anything less than well-done is full of parasites or whatever are annoying.

I like to eat my steaks medium-rare. some of them medium is fine, especially the ones with more fat such as flat iron.
the ultra-rare thing, blue, I dont really like it. is chewy and not tasty at all.

[Anonymous No.9453793]

>>9451718
this chart is better

the op picture is probably using cold steaks, so that's why they're both gray and ultra-rare at the same time

I work at a high end steak house, you can order it any way you want it but you're never getting it cooked past medium. Specific instructions from management, by the time the cunts cut it open and try it they're going to realize they're wrong. If not we can always broil it more and take the rest of the flavor out of it for the stupid customer.

Interestingly we almost never have steaks come back for being too rare, without fail the retarded cunts who order well done always complain "it dry" no shit it's dry moron you ordered it well done and we burn the fuck out of it for your dumb ass.

>without fail the retarded cunts who order well done always complain "it dry" no shit it's dry moron you ordered it well done and we burn the fuck out of it for your dumb ass.
Depends on how you're cooking it though. If they order well done and you cook it just to 155F internal temp, and they still complain it's dry, then yeah it's their fault. But if you let it sit on the grill cooking after it's gotten to well done and your reasoning is "well done is overcooked anyway lol who cares" and they complain, then it's your fault for being a bad cook.

[Anonymous No.9453954]

Well done, if well done, can be amazing too. You need thinner than usual steak for it though, and good spices.

Rare does not render the fat inside.
Somewhere between MR and M fully develops the flavor. M is the upper limit, no more flavor to be found beyond that.

Question: what's so bad about a well done steak? Why is rare better? I've only ate steak once, so I really don't get this hatred.

[Anonymous No.9455413]

>>9455339
rare is juicy, to a point that I think is only unique to steak
the juiciness, the blood, it all gives off a visceral taste, a continuous flavor that never ceases throughout the whole act of eating, which gives an almost primal, and definitely masculine satisfaction

well done is a way of preparing the steak that makes it a completely mundane meal, no different in sensation to eating a bland chicken breast

[Anonymous No.9456029]

I like my food well done but I have to cook it myself because incompetent idiots like >>9453928 are the norm in the food serving business. Literally too fucking stupid to cook a piece of meat, and then the faggot who brings me the failure expects to be given extra money.

Attached pic, while not the greatest, shows biggest difference between Sous Vide (left) and non-Sous Vide (right).

Consistent colour throughout with a sear on the edge at high heat.

[Anonymous No.9456061]

that one on the right seems like it was cherry picked, also the blue rare on OP's picture looks way less cooked than yours

both of yours look cooked, the stuff on the left side of OP's picture looks raw

[Anonymous No.9456321]

>>9456061

Yeah, that's why I said it wasn't the greatest pick, but the thing it shows off is just mainly the gradient you get from non-sous vide vs cooking sous vide.

Stop tying masculinity to doneness of steak you fucking retard. Rare tastes the best, you don't have to pretend it also makes you tougher

[Anonymous No.9458485]

Personally I prefer a medium rare so the fats can render I will not eat a well done steak unless someone is giving me their steak or its like a free meal but if I'm paying I want my steak well done.

When people come to my house and want the steaks I bought cooked well done I just cook it about medium rare to medium if they don't want to eat it then I don't care i'll take the leftovers.
I actually used to hate steak because growing up my parents would always cook my steak well done for dinner once I started grilling my steak ranges from Rare to Medium because fucking charcoal man.

[Anonymous No.9458489]

If im paying I want my steak medium rare fuck.
