Story time. Went to Texas Roadhouse last week to get some steak and ribs. The food was good and all, though not a fan of BBQ sauce or any steak sauce, but I tried the A1 sauce and tbh it was gross. Ate my porterhouse rare (as it should be. Medium rare at most) and my date got well done sirloin. Like what?!?!? Well done? Were you mistreated as a kid getting food? Poor soul basically eating a rock like why?!

Anyways then I read here that someone ate their steak well done too. Might as well eat rocks why don’t you, same consistency and taste. The absurdity of such a delicate meat ruined by cooking all the way through and chewing like the cow that has been slaughtered.

Anyways. How do you like your steak? Preferably, I always ask mine rare, medium rare if I don’t trust the establishment.

It goes bleu, rare, medium rare, medium, medium rock well, and rock- I mean well done.

you know I had people ask me this in the US whenever I ordered a burger, basically my answer would be "No hospital stay please"

I like mine well-done. I think it tastes the best well done.

Jk, I think it is good when you cut it in squares before you cook it, but only go half-way through the steak.

classgame: basically rare to medium rare because I know the feeling when it’s a well done steak and it could give an awful visit to ER from indigestion and such from eating a chewy rock. No flavor too like I definitely agree. No hospital visit please, medium rare.

Dauntez : but medium rare and rare gives it a more flavorful impact. You taste the meat not the heat like Hank Hill always says.

That someone here he's referring to is me. yes i like my steak well done. Yes i like eating rocks. Im not afraid to admit it. Now im gonna keep eating well done to spite becky.

Gonna be honest, i like eating steal medium rare, and do occasionally eat it well done. I don't mind the texture.

I love my steak medium. In fact, when I cook steaks I usually cook it at medium. To me Medium is the ideal style its usually juice and has a nice warm/pink center. Its not too rare and not well done either. I'm am not a fan of well done to me well done is tough.

I thought I liked steaks well done but people keep calling it like rocks. I have always heard it being equivalent to shoe leather. I think most of my family will cook it medium well unless you ask them to cook it differently.

I usually prefer my steak to be medium. I don't eat it very often (maybe a few times a year at most), but I do enjoy it when I have one that's cooked to my liking.

I like my steak cooked medium-rare. If it's a prime rib roast, I enjoy it rare.

I'm going to take this thread even further and say that I am a huge fan of steak tartare. I've been eating raw beef for years. If safely handled, I believe that raw beef, eggs, and certain seafoods are incredibly healthy.

I have converted to medium rare the past few times I ate steaks. As much as I enjoyed them cooked medium, medium rare looks more appealing when cut open, and in my opinion, you can taste the seasoning stronger, yet still savor that classic, juicy flavor like a steak that was cooked medium.

Annette: 8 years between posts and you come back and post about steak? So random feeling!

I'm in the rare to medium rare range. Cook it anymore than that and I'm not a fan.

I don't have steak all that often, but when I do, I usually go for medium well.

Whenever I see meat in commercials or on shows like QVC, it's almost always bright red and oozing bloody meat juice when they cut it open... to each their own, but it looks horribly unappetizing to me when the steak/meat looks as though it went from living cow to plate in under 2 minutes.

I always get my steak medium rare! If a steak is too tough, it's just not worth it in my opinion.
