How do you like your steak?

[Professor Murder]

Medium Rare with a good sear. The thickness of the cut may affect this and make me have to select Medium, so as not to get a steak thats too rare in the very middle.

I can't eat steak anymore because of an issue with my esophagus (it's a choking hazard), but when I could, it was medium. I used to order it medium-rare because I thought that was just how it was done and I didn't want to be gauche, but finally decided I just prefer it fully cooked through and am to old to worry about whether I am eating it "right" or not.

Don’t eat steak anymore (vegan), but when I did it was very well done.

So, I always eat the Steak as it is, but I see someone on this thread eats it with Ketchup. I see that other people eat it with worcestershire sauce (as in, this is what my father did when he was alive) or A1 sauce.

Why?

Doesn't that dull the taste.

I mean, I do eat things with those sauces...but it's normally because I don't like whatever it is I'm putting it on and I am using those to try to make it taste differently (Prime example, I can't stand Chile/Chili/howyouspellit, so I put gobs of something on it whether ketchup, sauces, whatever). (another example, Oatmeal is supposed to be healthy, but not mine as I put just as much brown sugar on it as there is oatmeal just to make it palatable to me).

Dull? No. Change? Yes.

We season foods- ALL foods- to alter their flavors. Steak is no different. I mean, in all likelihood, even the most minimally seasoned steak will have salt & pepper on it.

I technically like Medium Rare, when its done right. But I find that many steak houses will often undercook, so I normally go for medium. Medium is good, and if they undercook to medium rare, perfect. If I start with medium rare and they go rare...no bueno.

So, my parents not only liked to make their steak Blue Rare, they didn't use salt or pepper or any other seasoning during prep...
