Poll: Steak

[paradigm]

Same, I like my meat cooked!

And with all the flavour removed?

If you like your meat not bloody, don't want it to taste like a dry sponge, and not have to chew it for the rest of the evening, go to medium-well, preferably medium.

"Well done" is false advertising IMO, its foul.

Somewhere between blue and medium rare, depending upon what steak it is and what I'm having with it.

 

[gillywibble]

Medium rare. Needs a pink tinge.

 

[Van Hellseek]

Medium.


Boring, but tasty.

 

[Phog]

Rare! I get to eat it quicker!

 

[Lonewolf]

Medium-well done.

Yep, I like to make sure mine won't walk off the plate

 

[p4radox]

Medium. Anything less is a bit too slimy for my liking.

 

[mks2005]

Rare

I introduce it to a nuclear-hot griddle pan. As in - "pan, this is steak. Steak, this is pan. Right, that's enough cooking".

If the steak is just about warm in the centre, then it's perfect. Any more, it's overdone. Still, I reckon the best way is to grind it up raw and make steak tartare

 

[PardonTheWait]

Medium rare to medium, depending on mood. I don't like blood, a little watery pink bloody water seeping out is ok if I'm feeling barbaric.

 

[Van Hellseek]

Rare! I get to eat it quicker!

I don't mind waiting. It just means more beer-time.

Slap it's arse and send it through.

...Seriously though, when I was younger I used to hate any sign of 'red'. As I have got older and realised the link to taste, I prefer medium with about half and half.

 

[Inazuma]

Medium Rare.

 

[syke]

Medium-Well Done.

 

[Morba]

depends on the cut completely, can be anything from medium to well done though.
i rarely ask for a medium at a place i have never had a steak from a few times before though, as chefs seem to undercook mediums in my experience!

 

[Ripper]

Well done every time

 

[Slinwagh]

Wet and warm.

Like my women !

 

[PlacidCasual]

I don't know any beef in the UK that I would trust for anything less than well done.

Flavourwise I have no problem cooking a 1-2" sirloin steak well done so it has no uncooked meat and the juices haven't quite just turned fully clear.

I used to eat rare or medium when I was younger and thought red meant more flavour, I don't anymore.

 

[Jingo...]

I like it as pink as you can get it but without any blood It varies place to place but if I ask for a medium it tends to be about right

 

[singist]

Some of you guys should just jump on it's back and start gnawing away.

This sort of thing always ends with the "any longer that 30 seconds is burnt" bigade versus the "I want it cooked" lot.

Personally, I like it medium (warm all the way through) but as stated earlier, it depends a bit on the cut.
