It's amazing how many people you'll find who enjoy chewing on burnt shoe leather haha. Going with my current meat themed threads, here's the newest one.

I'm a fan of rare myself. It's how steak should be eaten. Quickly seared on the outside, bloody red in the middle.

Medium. Pink on the inside and juicy but not bloody.

So soft it melts in your mouth. They do it really well at those Japanese steakhouse places. :cool:

To say rare is something of a misnomer. Barely seared would be better.

Eh...it's what you order at a restaurant haha.

Just cook out the BSE and e. coli, thanks.

Well-done, of course. I rarely eat steak, though, unless you want to count steak versions of other meats, such as chicken, in which case it's the same: well-done.

Just cooked enough to be safe, basically. The bloodier the better. If I weren't worried about getting hoofed in the balls, I might just take a bite out of a live cow. Tasty mooing bastards.

Medium rare. Bloody, but cooked enough so that the flesh does not taste slimey. It needs to be silky smooth but still have texture.

i like mine still runny but not bleeding.

I don't like steak.

I order my steaks medium, nicely cooked on the outside and just a little pink on the inside.

Well done. Hard as a rock but tastyyy :)

my favorite kind of meat is free meat.

I don't like steak.

I'm beginning to like steak less and less every time someone refers to their favored style as "bloody" or "runny". Usually when I order steak at a restaurant I ask for medium, because I am a coward.

medium rare.

How Do You Take Your Steak?
Orally, of course. I wasn't aware there were other ways of taking it.

I don't like it because I cannot taste it. So I go for what has the best texture: bacon.

Medium rare, but more towards the rare side of the spectrum.

browm steak is a total waste of good meet.

surf and turf is the best meal. yum yum. i'm starting to drool.

*cackles*

I like my steak to be briefly introduced shown the pan/flame before being served up.

Basically Bolt Gun + Kinfe + Cauterise to keep the juices in.


Though I am torn between a preference for Beef Steaks and Tuna Steaks.

*drools*

Damn! 3 hours until Lunch...

Very medium.

Cooked, but not hard. Juicy, but not bloody. In some places i go for medium-well done because i know they have a tendency towards being too rare.

how do we like it

Medium-rare leaning towards medium. And if you even think about contaminating it with A-1, I'll chop your freaking hand off.

Rare or medium-rare, depending on my mood.

Mmmmm, a nicely cooked steak, pepper sauce......

*drools*

Medium. I don't like the taste of live beef tapeworm eggs tbh.

Wuss!!

Give me a nice medium. Gets it cooked, but not too cooked.

We've almost got a Gaussian distribution on this poll, it's amazing!

Intravenously.

Intravenously.

War of the Worlds, eh?

Well done.

That's Ifreann. When he says steak and intravenously, he just means brain through a straw. I've seen it happen.

MMMMMM, steark tartar. Slimey when done badly, but oh do yummy when done well.

You can probably guess from that that with a lumpy of steak i order it blue-rare in france (i.e. still going moo, its such a pity the english wont seem to sell it like that).

I also recently had a cajun-cooked steak, soaked in bleu-cheese butter. It was uniquely delicious.

medium well, thin strip of pink in the middle.

I used to be vegan, so the thought of rare meat makes me puke.

If it's well, I can pretend it's not an animal, I have (within the last year) been able to step it back (for steak only) to medium well, a little bit of pink. :cool:

At the risk of sounding a bit thick, may i ask what cajun cooked is?

cajun cooked usually is blackened,usually with cayenne pepper and other mouth burning additives.

As far as my steak I usually eat it still bleeding and mooing;)

I like it well done. IMHO it just tastes better.

when i used to eat meat i prefered it saignant (wich is a little bit bloody), i don't understand your terms. i'm a vegetarian now though.

Where's the poll option for blue rare? :(

I like mine either blue rare, char rare, or tartare, depending on how well I trust the chef .

As someone who enjoys proper cajun cooking (having been brought up at the edge of East Texas cajun country), I'd like to point out that the "blackend X" craze set off by Paul Prudhomme's created dish blackened redfish is not a traditional "cajun" dish.

Just FYI:

For the uneducated there are several gradations of cooking steaks. For the purposes of this article “raw” steaks will not be taken into account since most steaks ordered in restaurants are cooked to some degree.

Raw – for some special dishes the steak is not cooked at all. Most famous is perhaps steak tartare which consists of seasoned ground raw beef topped with an egg.

Blue rare– the outside of the steak is seared so that the inside is warmed; the steak will retain much of the redness of the uncooked meat.

Rare – the steak appears cooked on the outside and is very pink on the inside; the centre of the steak, particularly on fillets, will be red.

Medium rare - the steak appears cooked on the outside; the inside will be pink, especially in the center.

Medium - the steak appears cooked on the outside; the inside will be slightly pink in the center.

Medium well - the steak appears cooked on the outside and there will be feint traces of pink in the center. The steak may taste slightly dry.

Well done - the steak appears cooked on the outside; there will be no traces of pink at all in steak. The steak will taste hard and dry.

Rare to medium rare for me. Yummy.

thanks, i used to prefer it rare then.

I like mine either blue rare, char rare, or tartare, depending on how well I trust the chef .
I've only had steak tartare a few times, but I really liked it. Never tried blue rare though.

Ugh, that's a terrible picture.

Blue of course....is there really any other way?

Bloody as hell, gotta love that juicy taste :D

Blue rare's usually how I do it when I grill for me. It's mostly a matter of having a good butcher you trust and the right heat.

As for tartare, in addition to steak tartare, I've had several similar sorts of dishes I quite enjoyed including venison and beef liver (and that's not counting the various sorts of beef, chicken, and horseflesh sashimi I've had the pleasure of eating.). In fact, Korean style raw beef liver is one of the few ways I actually like beef liver.

Blue of course....is there really any other way?

Raw (yes, I've eaten straight up room temp raw steak as well)
Black and blue/char rare
Tartare

it's funny, I'll eat steak tartare, but I won't eat Rare or med-rare. anything else is ok with me.

I love when people tell me I'm going to get Mad Cow from eating rare meat. Nevermind it doesn't matter how well you cook the damn meat, the protein that causes mad cow (PrPsc) is tough as hell. That's when I tell them that a chemical in smoke/charred meat causes genetic mutations. :p

So soft it melts in your mouth. They do it really well at those Japanese steakhouse places. :cool:

That's the only way I like steak. Otherwise, it takes so long to chew it that it's not worth eating it. I don't have time to spend half an hour to an hour eating. That's ridiculous. I don't like there being any pink in the steak, either, because that makes it seem gross to me. So I really don't like steak...

Medium-rare leaning towards medium. And if you even think about contaminating it with A-1, I'll chop your freaking hand off.

I'll agree with that. :D

You can't cook out BSE

I go for medium or medium rare personally.

I like mine 'blue'.

medium to medium-rare. I like steak kinda bloody and pink, I hate when its burnt.

When I eat meat, which is pretty much never since I turned vegetarian, I like my steak well done.

No wonder you became a vegetarian when you ruin your meat.

I started off loving it well done, then went to shoe leather and then when I became a cook I started liking it rarer and rarer. Now I'm a vegetarian so now I like it mooing and not being eaten by me :p

I've only ever had steak well done so I have no choice but to say that is how I like it. :)

Pink bordering on red. Just barely cooked all the way through.

The rarer and bloodier, the better. If it's not mooing, it's not too rare. :p

You are so, so right. What's the point in having good bit of fillet if you're going to wreck it? Waste of good meat. In a restaurant I once ate a steak so rare that even the A&E nurse opposite me looked totally horrified by the amount of blood on show. It was a proud moment.

Is there any option for still mooin'? :p

Oh yeah, as rare as it gets please...some searing with some marinade, and serve it to me bloody!

Bloody rare.

Well done. Anything less makes meh gagz0rz.

Rare to Medium Rare...I hate the black shit, which causes cancer anyway...

I love mine just warm red in the middle. I had a wonderful NY Strip l:D last night for dinner YUM!
