How do you like your steak cooked?

Gauss

I like mine medium rare, I find rare makes the steak a bit too jelly like, whereas medium makes it dry and tough. For me medium rare is the sweet spot of moistness and texture.

Fizman

Medium does not make it dry and tough, it makes it just right.

Hence the name, medium.

I like mine done medium.

gymman39

with another one..!!!!

medium

whitewave

medium rare. bit of garlic butter on the side, cheers. what time should i be expecting that?

Corvo

A good steak should be cooked to the level to which a good vet could have it mooing again.

Rare or blue for me

ElleEm

I like my steak to resemble a warm leather shoe!!

Battleflag

Medium + Pepper Sauce + Spuds + Veg

Princess Peach

Minced and in a burger!

I'm a barbarian :pac:

FatherLen

medium rare and in jack daniels glaze.

Gbear

Rare.

Its a chore having my grandmother over for dinner when we're eating beef.

She comes from the mucksavage generation that overcooked the ****e out of everything. She keeps saying little snide comments "oh sure that's not cooked at all".

The other problem is butchers giving you these tiny little midget steaks which require far less cooking. I still reckon a lot of people haven't a clue how to cook steaks.

Rare-Medium is a matter of taste. Anything above that and you don't deserve to be ruining a good steak.

Cee-Jay-Cee

Burnt to a crisp and half it's original size. I want to be sure any CJD that might be present is well and truly dead.

Korvanica

I only like my steaks to be cooked on the finest of hot coals sourced only from the deepest mines in Estonia.

For 14 seconds...

So .... Rare

BBDBB

medium and alongside the rest of a mixed grill

Death and Taxes

Blue.
Though its damm hard to find a restaurant in this country which undersstands how a blue steak should be properly cooked.

Orim

Hot on the outside, cold on the inside

cuilteanna

Cooked? Steak tartare is my favourite.

A2LUE42

Jimminy Mc Fukhead

Spot on. A well done steak is a ruined steak imo. Medium or medium rare is the only way to appreciate a good piece of beef.

A well done steak is like a hard poached egg. Fcuked.

Canis Lupus

Medium rare, anything more and you're a heathen.

I had a mate who posted on facebook how his steak was sizzling for the last 20 mins and he couldn't wait to have it...... *sobs*..

BTW, Heston Blumenthals (sp?) way of cooking a steak is awesome. (ie pan scorching, turn every 15 seconds for around 3 mins).

EDIT: for the blue eaters... do you not find it's a touch too chewy?

Gauss

How do you add a poll?

I had a friend come home one night and decide the best thing he could do was stick a steak in the microwave for 20 minutes and then eat it.

He got a smack for crimes against steak.

Esoteric_

I eat it rare or medium rare depending on my mood. Usally medium rare.

And now I want steak for dinner.

Dravokivich

Thoroughly

demakinz

On the rare occasion i'm out in a restaurant i will order my steak medium rare but when i'm at home and cook steak i cook it rare. It tastes so much better when its juicy and pink. I eat steak for my Christmas dinner instead of turkey.

Jack Daniels glaze sounds yummy. How do you make that?

Medium for me. An 1 1/2" steak, hot pan, 6 minutes each side. No turning inbetween.

Medium, I find anything less and its cold in the middle which I don't like. I know plenty who wont eat it unless its well done or even very well done.

BBDBB

I like mine with a kiss

.jacksparrow.

Is somebody wants to have their steak well done,leave them to it,different pies for different guys....

GLaDOS

I take medium.

My mam and sister always take theirs well done, my mam has even sent steaks back in restaurants for not being well done enough.

It makes me weep.

TPD

Medium is what I ask for in a restaurant. Seared on the outside, brown for the outside fifths, pink for the closer-to-the-middle fifths, and red for the centre fifth. With garlic spuds - always.

Gran Hermano

Bloody enough to have any vegetarians present phoning the ISPCA.

I too am interested in this recipe.

Canis Lupus nope, it's not chewy, it's lovely and soft.

podgemonster

My mother cooks steaks in a George Foreman Grill until well done, then covers it in gravy and serves with dry new spuds and boiled vegtables. Possibly the worst way to eat steak, dry and chewy. I actually detest it.

I like mine medium-rare, dash of pepper sauce, some handcut oven chips and a fresh salad.

Talib Fiasco

Medium rare or rare...medium rare most often though...can't stand well done or even blue though but each to their own.

Medium rare.

Served with green peppercorn sauce, onions and mushrooms, with a nice big bowl of chunky homecut fries.

OM!

westendgirlie

Ok

I will attempt it like this - Take steaks off pan to rest. Keep pan on the heat. Take a swig of JD for luck. Add a good slug to pan and de-glaze it of all the yummy steak bits. Should I light the booze? Add a bit of cream.

God I hate food snobs.


I have mine well done. Fuck off if that's 'ruining' it, it's how I like it.

Lemonperv

Medium-rare with béarnaise sauce

If there's no sauce, I'm not interested!

Philistine :rolleyes:

Plazaman

I like mine cremated. Not just well done, I'm talking about it coming out stuck to the dead hand of the Fukishima worker who brought it inside the nuclear reactor to cook it.

Jack Daniels glaze HERE per TGIF's recipie book

I would amend it by adding that when you take a tablespoon of Jack out of the bottle, pour a double over ice into a glass and set beside you for the meal (and leave the bottle)

God your very passionate on this subject...

Well done is ratten!

Emeraldy Pebbles

Medium rare. And this is actually the optimum way to cook some cuts, such as ribeye. Foodies would have you believe rare is best for every cut:

Rare or blue for me

:P

If it was served medium, I'd happily eat it. Medium is nice too. Aaahhh, I love being a pleb. :pac:

Scortho

Flatten the steak out a little bit, some rub herbs in and drizzle a small amount of proper extra virgin olive oil over the steak. Allow to stand for 2-3 minutes and then place on a hot griddle pan. Sear each side for 2 mins and brown the fat! Remove for the pan and rap in tinfoil for 5-10 mins!
I make cooking steak very complicated!:)

So yeah medium rare for me!:D
