Nasty!!!

When I managed a steak house in Atlanta back in 1996, we did not allow customers to order it

Charred and rare? Iwei. Although as I get older I'm more of a medium rare guy

It’s my preference at high end places. Don’t trust the average place to serve a steak that rare and eat it. But I do love a boneless prime strip Pittsburg (or black and blue).

Your filet in the WFDT is medium almost medium well imo. If that's how you like your steak you would not like Pittsburgh style. As mentioned above the center of the steak may not even reach room temperature

I’ve tried it once. It’s the reason I eat steak medium rare now. It’s just so damn chewy. I do like a slight crust though.

I can see how people like it, but it's not my choice. Medium rare to medium for me, depending on the cut off steak.

Meats can taste good at a wide range of temperatures. From tartare to braised roast.

I generally order my steaks 'blue rare' and a couple of times I've received them Pittsburg Blue. Sort of shocking to see a burnt-arse steak when you ordered it raw, but if they keep the center blue I'm fine with it.

At one place that did this to me the chef was sitting at the bar after...I said that was an interesting preparation of my steak...he said, I don't think people like it that way, I think they just order it to be cool. WTF buddy, you burnt my steak on your own accord.

Pittsburgh Rare is the only way to eat a steak.

A Pittsburgh rare steak is one that has been heated to a very high temperature very quickly, so it is charred on the outside but still rare or raw on the inside.

like this?

I love it but it gives me the shits. I can't do rare but medium rare is okay.

I call the way I order my steak a modified version of Pittsburgh style. I like filets with a crust and rare but any other steak I like them with a crust and medium rare to melt some of the fat.

Love them this way but have had even very nice restaurants mess it up so while I cook them like that at home I’ll order something else out.
