Would You Eat It? (Food left out)

yes

Yes

It's steak. You don't waste steak. Man up.

I leave all my steaks out to get to room temperature. Aged meat is key to good steak.

Rub it down with olive oil and give it a good sear. It will be fine.

I am currently recovering from food poisoning (2:30 am to now) from blackebed chicken at a restaurant in houston and its not worth it bro. I generally have the same mentality as the others in here, but my stance might have just changed

I think he already cooked it. Either way I would eat it. I grew up and my mother always left food out to get to room temp and would reheat it. I have a iron stomach now.

I'm the same way. Used to not care until I got food poisoning. Now every little thing damn near scares me.

You good to go

I left it a bit more rare than normal in anticipation of reheating it. It's from a local Super1 grocery store. I was planning on sticking it in the oven to reheat, I guess I will stick with that strategy.

Don't eat it. Seriously, man.

Here's the rule I live by- if you have to ask the question, you already know the answer is no.

When I was young and broke and 18 years old, maybe. But it's just not worth the risk of spending the next 3 days vomiting and dry heaving and doubling over with stomach cramps. It's two ribeyes. Buy two more.

ETA- I used to feel differently until a bout of food poisoning damn neared killed me.
