How do you like your steak cooked?

Went to Fleming's last night with a friend. We both ordered the ribeye steak. Fleming's steaks are pretty incredible for a large chain restaurant. I ordered mine rare, as usual. She orders hers well done. I know it's not my steak and I did a good job holding back, but it really mind boggles me. Why would anyone destroy a $50 steak by cooking the living crap out of it? I don't get it.

I guess it doesn't matter since I'm not eating it. Still though, feels like a waste! I'm not saying go rare, but dang! Not well done!

^^ my sentiment exactly! have a friend who is the exact same way. dont get it.

i do, however, alternate between medium rare and medium. ive found medium rare sometimes leaves these little white chewy things that cant be chewed up. i really dont like this. as a result i switched to medium and the white things are gone.

some very good cut of filet does not have the white things at med rare, but a lot of them do. i used to eat only filet, but have branched out to the ribeye, which i get medium rare.

BTW have u been to Ruth's Chris? if u havent had their cowboy ribeye (22oz) u really should go and get iot. they cook it at 1800 degrees or something like that. man it is the best restaurant steak ive ever had!

[austinite]

Yes. Ruth's Chris is good. We have a local place called Eddie V's, probably the best steak ever. Also Bartletts (formerly Houston's) is good.

i do most of my steak eating at home. u do any grilling? i enjoy either heinz 57 or my own horseradish sauce with my steak.

[austinite]

I don't really. I've tried not very good at getting the steaks right.

I think it could be more about the blood. I don't like the sight of blood, have to cover my eyes when watching movies with blood, can't watch operations....it's not that I love my steak well done, it's that I don't like it swimming in blood.

I eat raw sushi. No blood.

For me medium well is the perfect steak. No blood and the cow isn't still mooing.

[Igifuno]

Looove sushi as well. I'll eat any kind of raw sushi/sashimi.

Steak always medium/rare for me.

you lose a lot of textural quality as well as juice. IMO.

[GirlyGymRat]

I know but it's the site of blood.

Btw I never send my undercooked steak back to the kitchen. Think of movie 'waiting' habahaha. I just eat the non bloody part and carry out the rest. Mic the crap out it later. Blasphemy. LoL

[AD]

I can't tell the difference between medium well, medium, or medium rare. They all look half cooked to me

Blasphemy! Stop buying your cuts at Costco!

[Cuz]

I go for in between medium rare and medium. But I chose medium.

My bulk steak is ribeye and my lean obvious sirloin.

The best is filet mignon....but that's for rich people not country hicks like me...lol

What's wrong with bulk warehouse stores??? Inferior quality???

I had no idea there was a bulk and cutting type. LoL and I do see your point.

[austinite]

Yes. Steaks are actually made from plastic.

[Hazard]

I prefer medium rare at a restaurant but I can eat steak damn near raw.

Rump, right?

[bikeral]

Good cuts Medium rare

Crap cuts I don't mind if its well done.

[Cuz]

Don't buy your cuts at Walmart people! Whats a "Costco" ..

[Hazard]

Rump, right?

I love the rubbery part right on the o-ring

[Sfla80]

Yes. Ruth's Chris is good. We have a local place called Eddie V's, probably the best steak ever. Also Bartletts (formerly Houston's) is good.

Eddies v is now part of my company. ..and for the poll tough to say...depends on the size of the steak 14oz sirloin...med rare....14oz filet (huge) I would have to do medium

[Sfla80]

Two different restaurants we servered two people. One guy eats 14oz filet raw and ice cold.

Other actually shared a delmonico raw with his 12 yo daughter. They ate fat and all.

[Lunk1]

I have yet to eat a restaurant steak that compares to the perfectly done, medium rare steak my wife grills. She is a friggin magician with a grill!

Jealousy will get you nowhere

She may as well work the grill since she was headed out to mow the lawn after taking out the garbage )))))

I'm the grill master at my house. I'm pretty bad ass on that thing if I do say so myself

[ac guy]

Knock it's horns off, wipe it's nasty old ass and chunk it down on the plate.

Big Green Egg - The Ultimate Cooking Experience

yes bro me too, there a bit pricey but I want one bad...

My aunts new husband has one. I hate the fvckin thing because he has it lol

My grill has a smoker attached to it.

[Igifuno]

Nice, yeah they're a bit pricey. I'm due for a new grill. I think I'll get one after xmas when the prices go down.

another thing is that the egg takes a while to heat up.. like 20 mins. I like to fire it up and get that meat on there without waiting. The way it cooks though is so good.. nice and even and meat comes out perfect.

[Hazard]

This is the grill I have..... Can't even think of something to complain about. It's a fantastic grill and cooks evenly..... The smoker works like a charm. It can blow through fuel if u use all the burners but that's to be expected.

The thread title asks how I'd like my steak cooked.

Correct answer, by a seriously hot, scantily clad female. IMHO.

I win. Give me my cookie.
