I'd try it Gaston. I was more saying i would be nervous going to Publix, buying a lb of ground chuck and eating it rare.

Didn't read the thread, but Hank Hill perfectly explained how I feel about a well done steak:

Rare to medium rare only. I see not many have read Anthony Bourdain's book. It is common for restaurants to use an old or bad cut of meat when someone orders their steak well cooked. They can cover poor beef when it is over cooked. I like paying for a good cut, not for someone to burn it.

This is something that irritates me really bad. Maybe I'm just an a-hole, but I just hate seeing a good steak ruined. I refuse to keep A1 or any other garbage in my house.


Same here. My wife would put ketchup on her steaks when we first married. I would flip out. I finally got her to understand that what she was doing was an insult to a good steak. She has since cone around and now jumps the daughter's shite for doing it.

Believe it or not one of the best steaks I have had was when we lived in Angola, Africa. Angola is a former Portuguese colony and has many Portuguese cooking traditions. We had a steak restaurant that would bring your steak out raw in a bowl. Fantastic cut of steak. They would then bring you a hot rock in a wooden holder. You would cut small pieces of raw steak, cook it on your rock, then eat it right off the rock. Not one speck of seasoning on it. Best steak I ever had.

No . That looks raw. I refuse to eat raw hamburger. Plus, can't you get E-Coli from ground meat if it's not cooked properly?

As a kid, I thought I hated steak because when my mom would make it, she'd buy crappy steaks from the grocery store and cook them all the way. I remember crying as a little kid because I'd chew on a bite for 10 minutes and it still wasn't ready to be swallowed

As I got older, I learned what a good steak that was cooked properly was. And while it's not something I crave or even order much, I don't think it's gross anymore.

It's beef tartare. Very sophisticated.

What's with the pretentiousness of people who eat steaks medium/rare?

Cool, so does the majority of the world. You aren't special, get off your high horse.

Who care how other people eat their steaks?
