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...

FOUND THE MOORLOCK!

That’s unusual, to say the least. I like a blue steak on occasion, but I can’t say I’ve ever had unseasoned beef.

I just cook it and eat it, I don't put anything on it

I prefer medium rare if at home and grilling it myself, but I usual order medium if at a restaurant.

Going by that illustration, rare, or even blue. Although good luck getting a steak cooked like that in the UK, they always overcook them in most places. Thankfully go to Spain often enough to enjoy decent steak.

Medium rare or medium for me, usually with the typical salt and pepper, and either a garlic or sicilian butter on top.

Rare in the UK, Medium Rare everywhere else.

Exactly can't get a decent rare steak in the UK, except in a top end restaurant.

Pineapple can work

Clotted cream and jam also goes well, but only in the correct order

why do you think it's called rare?
