AreJay, this isn't about knowing how to cook versus not knowing how to cook. It's about what happens to a steak when you leave it on the fire too long. The mid rare and medium steaks are just right, and now leave that other steak on the fire long enough to cook it through and through like a roast and you're going to burn the shite out of it. Don't believe me, try it at home.

It doesnt really take that much longer to go from medium well to well done anyway.


bullshite it doesn't AreJay. I'm not pulling this out my arse. It's just the way it's done. It's already an abomination to order it well done, so I guess might as well go full all out fail.

sure places will throw it in the deep fryer or use a microwave. this will depend on a lot of things, all restaurants are not created equally.


And no restaurant has jedi magic powers that they use to cook a 1 1/2 to 2" cut of meat to well done without either a lot more time or a quick fix answer.

'fire' is a relative term. you can gently cook an egg on a 'fire' as much as you can cook a pizza crust to nice and crispy. you can regulate temperature.

there is no debate that it takes significantly longer to cook a well done steak vs a medium-rare steak. and that the thickness of it can magnify that time difference. i question your confidence in the wide-spread practice of deep-frying steaks to well-done.
