Steaks. How do you like them done?

Steak Tartar?

I was talking about Kobe Beef Sashimi...

Expensive and clogs your arteries but so DAMN GOOD!!!

[nO-One]

hell I prefer just to carve the meat right off a live cow and eat it, right from the bone.

But seriously, medium rare for me. Not too pink but still.

Medium rare. Well done steak IMO is a waste, go eat a porkchop hippies!

Actually, kobe beef\'s fat are mono-unsaturated. I saw this on Alton Brown\'s Good Eats. That means it\'s actually good for ya. Now the cholesteral which make YOU fat is another thing.

if you get a steak at a nice steak place rare/med rare is the way its meant to be served
if your getting it from a regular resturant go with med rare as they will most likley over cook it and it will be medium
also dont worry to much about food poisioning, you have a way better chance of getting e coli from your pre dinner salad than from the steak

Wait for me to erect my big poll.

*badum kshh*

I prefer medium but will eat it rare too. I\'ll eat meat anyway it comes......and I mean ANYWAY

Holy crap, I\'m definitely taking fahja out to a steakhouse on Farger\'s Day now.

Medium for me

[Viper_Fujax]

+1 medium rare

Medium or Medium Well. Still a little pink, but not mooing.

And I\'d like the steak cooked so well I don\'t NEED steak sauce. When a steak needs sauce, the cook failed.

medium rare.  Loses its flavor to me if you cook it too much.

Burn it....well done for me....there\'s still some parasites lurking about for those folks that like their meat rare,...burn that thing!!

I used to get grossed out by rare steaks, but I can appreciate one now.. so damn tender and not all dried out like a well done or medium well.

I feel that as I get older I prefer my steaks rarer.  We had some friends over last weekend that liked rare and I did mine the same... I fucking nailed it... no sauce needed

I guess if you like the taste of carbon, that is the way to go.

I personally do not.  I voted Medium, but I would lean toward rare if I had to.  I cannot stand overcooked meat.  It\'s really disgusting to me to taste carbon on the outside of a steak.

I\'ve never noticed that..(the carbon part)...the only isue i\'ve had with well done steak is that sometimes the meat can be a bit tough,..but that depends on the person that is cooking it...the steaks that i season myself at the crib end up being very juicy and not tough at all....when i go out and eat,...i\'ve noticed that fridays have some of the best steaks around,...they also compliment it with something called jack daniels sauce...and trust,...that sauce is some of the best sauce i have ever tasted.

The olive garden & red lobster comes in at a close 2nd as far as steaks are concerned,...but i have had tough steaks from red lobster i\'d say about 40% of the time.......it\'s still good, but nothing beats the steaks that i\'ve gotten from fridays...:fro:
