How Do You Like Your Steak?

One of my coworkers is going elk hunting in Wyoming this weekend, and he's promised me a couple of steaks if he bags one.

JEALOUS!

Alas, no venison for me. The hunting party returned empty-handed.

Medium rare is my go to. I'll tolerate rare or medium, but if you go to medium well or worse I'm probably sending it back.

"Bleu", or as I like to jokingly put it, "The meat passed through the kitchen on the way to my plate."

Or; I like my steak so rare that a skilled vet can sew it back on the cow.

I've always had a bit of a conspiracy theory that chefs push the rare = better narrative because it's quicker/ better for them to keep the tables turning over.

Personally I prefer medium-well, but I'll ask for medium when eating out because they give you older cuts of meat if you ask for well done.

Most restaurant ovens are incredibly hot and can cook a steak to medium well in marginally longer time than medium rare. Im pretty sure rare came into fashion becasue people can eat it without their guts coming out their backside from better modern meat packing practices.

Had a really good steak sandwich last week. Sold as a cheese steak which is rare here to find.

Had a thick mustard/habenero sauce with mushrooms and jalapeños.

Steak was probably medium well hard to say. Still soft though.

No idea how authentic it was but it tasted great. With fries it was $15 I'll take the win.

Never heard of anyone cooking steak in an oven, but then I mostly eat pub meals.

I think its done on certain types of steak. Pan fried then into an oven. Maybe vice versa.

I hate cooking steak so pay someone else to cook it.

Still feel sorry for my first girlfriend. She ate my first cooked steak lol. Think I paid for takeout that night.

Very common in restaurants. Cast iron on a flame to sear, then toss it right into the oven to finish.

This ones for you!
