How do you like your Steak cooked?

[lifetime fan]

You probably have to bear in mind that restaurant chefs use the freshest stuff, ie, they don't need to defrost steaks before cooking etc. As a result they can afford to be a little more forgiving with their cooking and prep. The nearest you or I can get is to buy the meat from the butchers with the intention of cooking it once you get home, as opposed to storing it in the freezer. All this must make a difference with something like pork.

 

It should make a difference with all meat you buy.

Well I usually only have steak when my mum makes it well done but after reading some views on here, I am curious to try medium rare. I'll try it next time I go to a decent restaurant and post my findings.

I now take my steak Rare, so my vote should be void on this poll.

You've grown up - good man.

[Red Banjo]

Bout to say the same.

 

Since voting in this thread i have turned it down a notch, and now eat my steak medium.

[Bjornebye]

anything above medium rare is for child molesters.

Agreed.

[Stouffer]

Not sure if I've already replied but my answer is rare accompanied with merlot.

[lifetime fan]

Went just above Blue, still very nice but I prefer Rare.

It really depends on the steaks - and there really are only three worthy of the discussion. You could go near medium on a rib eye because of the fat content but a filet or a strip is shoe leather if you go anywhere near medium.

 

Here's a budget cut for ya - chuck eye - which is in front of a rib eye.

 

Bout half price and equally delicious.

I've never tried anything less than well-done. Probably never will, well-done has served me well.

This was a 35 day hung on the bone Aberdeen Angus rump that lived its entire life and was slaughtered within 30 miles of us.

 

There is just too much waste having it blue.

 

 

EDIT: The dog's pissed off I'm cooking a load of the fat off some more as he thinks it should all be for him.

Save your money and stick to burgers.

Just show it the blow torch.

To my shame I've never actually had a quality steak anyway. Think the closest I've had that could be considered "not shit" would be at a weatherspoons.

 

Still, don't think I could have one not well-done. Even if someone else was paying.

I won't neg you for your honesty. I'm not so sure about others though.

 

Weatherspoon's definately aint quality steak though ffs.

Try it. You won't look back.

Buy some and cook it at home with some fried onions or mushrooms, thin cut chips and some rocket. And a bottle of red. Food of the gods

Do you run a catering company? Advice is needed on that thread too. Lots.

Medium Rare with the margin of error being that it's rare rather than medium.

 

When preparing steaks myself I usually blacken them with herbs and spices (paprika, cayenne, rosemary, black pepper, and garlic salt to be exact). The result being initial heat (in terms of spicy food) followed by the flavor of the meat itself overtaking that.

 

Also found I prefer grass-fed beef to corn-fed having finally gotten around to trying it.

 

Does anyone here let their steaks rest for 5 minutes or so after cooking them? I've done it but find I prefer to eat it as soon as possible after it comes off the grill.

Yes, grass.

Meatier. Less buttery.

 

That delight should be performed by a disc of melting garlic butter.
