How do you like your steak?

[gandra]

Depends on the meat source. Beef med rare. Elk/Deer done not over done but no pink.

I'm making steak tomorrow

[Eradiani]

medium rare. probably closer to rare then medium though I like a warm center.

I only accept them more done than that if it was done over charcoal/smoker.

I had a college friend that liked what he called "near jerkified" he was a germiphobe.. I weep when he cooked steaks

Medium-rare if I actually ate steak

Medium Rare

Heh I liked my steaks well done as a kid too.

I think i was 15 and then I started ordering medium-well. Then at like 18-20 I was ordering medium.

So far I've settled on medium verging on medium-well.

So far I think the best steak I've ever had come from this recipe: www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/good-food-fast-with-family-circle/strip-steak-with-rosemary-red-wine-sauce-recipe/index.html

Man that was good. I got some Omaha steaks in the fridge.. should give that one another go.

Oh man, you guys, at one of our more popular bar and grills on Friday I had their "bowery" steak - 8 ounces on a piece of garlic toast, with peppers, mushrooms and melted mozzarella, with a side of mashed potatoes.

...rare.


Soooooo good!

I like small strips of steak, like the kind you can get at a stir fry place. Cook them in teriyaki sauce and they are delicious!

I don't know that I would eat a regular sized steak. But if I did, I would want it medium, probably. I don't like seeing any pink or red, but I don't want it burned to a crisp, either. When you get to that point, it loses too much flavor and is hard to chew.

It might be gross but I like my steaks to be rare. Not enough to be dripping blood but more than just a smidgen of pink.

EDIT: Damn! this thread made me hungry.

[cusideabelincoln]

Medium rare. Color doesn't scare me, and nothing beats hot, juicy meat.

[Eventide]

I definitely need some tips on grilling a good steak. Ive tried to several times and it just didnt work out.

I like mine medium btw.

Other than cooked to m-rare, I also look at the aging technique if it's a beef steak for dinner, breakfast don't mean shit, just cause it's a quick few calories before a workout...So if it's wet aged, I like it between 5-10 days, personal use from a butcher between 15-28 days dry, but if I'm out to eat I'll only order 40-75 days aged...I think no matter how you cook it, the quality of the beef matters more, unless you're hockey pucking it, and then you need to be shot and feed to cannibals for ruining great food.

[Bezgagain20]

Remember you can have SAFE BEEF, it just has to reach an internal temp of 160 degrees for 10-15 seconds, or 140 degrees if you're roasting...So enjoy some rareness in your beef, it's better for you too..

If I'm making fixing it up at home it's medium but when we eat out I always order well done because whenever I don't it always comes totally pink inside... I'm mean totally... pink... inside

Just made some mean medium Ribeyes this weekend while we were camping.

Medium rare but our steaks suck in the uk compared to most other countries and nothing like the half cow steaks you guys in the states get
