Anyone ever tried it? I always get my steak rare and was thinking about being adventurous but scared of not liking it.

I've had a "blue steak" and didn't care for how chewy it was. Also, the juices aren't there like on a classic medium rare. Not bad, but I prefer it cooked more.

No. Blue is a raw steak with a little Kitchen Bouquet brushed on.

Season the steak, dip it in clarified butter and then throw it on the hot spot of the grill, let it catch on fire and then go out.

Outside will have a slight char, inside will be cold.

It's really good.

I've had Wagyu carpaccio that was blue but not an entire steak. Not yearning for it either, but everyone has their thing.

Why do you care how someone else enjoys their steak?

Well, you can always send it back for a little more grill time.

Not crazy about it and not a big filet fan.

But one I suggest to try is from the old Christians in mid city. Cut a pocket on the side of the filet and stuff a couple of raw oysters into it. Then cook as you desire. Unreal.

Well done is for people who don't actually like steak and should drop the pretense and order chicken.

As for getting a steak blue, the fats are still solid and I find it generally unpleasant. I'm a big fan of carpaccio, but thinly slicing it circumvents the texture issue. Medium rare is how god would order his steak.

You know...I've cooked steaks at times that looked like that. If they were still cold in the middle, I threw it back on the hot cast iron for another 30 seconds on each side.

I used to think I liked my steaks med-rare, but I'm told the actual restaurant term for how I like them is "rare-plus".

You get strange looks sometimes ordering it blue since some waiters aren't real sure what that means. 'As rare as they'll send it out' often clarifies things. Hopefully it inspires the cook to grab you a good piece of meat. Hanger, skirt, flank and filet are the only cuts this usually works with. Hamburgers if you like to live dangerously. This is a perfect steak for me.
