How Do You Like Your Meat?

[Number4]

I was having a discussion at a restaurant with a friend and were discussing the best way to cook steak. I like mine rare or medium-rare. He likes his well-done.

What do you like?

<font color="white"> The over/under for "inappropriate" references to "meat" is 5. I'm taking the over.</font>

[stabn]

Medium-rare or Medium. I'm not a big fan of overly bloody, but i'd like to taste steak instead of burnt.

[dr. klopek]

Rare as hell. The blood makes it delicious.

[kerssens]

Medium-well

[Six_of_One]

Has to be rare. If you ask for medium or anything more, why even bother? The longer you cook it, the less you can taste what comes out.

[AncientPC]

Medium rare is the only way to go for me, a crusty outside with a juicy, slightly bloody inside. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[astroglide]

good restaurant: medium rare
average restaurant: medium

[Cubswin]

You cant beat my meat... i like it rare....
<font color="white">There's one inappropriate reference for ya </font>

[MHarris]

Depends on the cut. Anything ground, medium rare to medium. Filets, strips, and T-bones I like bloody as hell. The rarer (is that a word?), the better.

<font color="white">long and hard? here's another one </font>
medium rare

[Number4]

I'm surprised that their are no well-done proponents here. Seems like I was right after all.
<font color="white"> May have to take matters into my own hands to get the over.</font>

[NLSoldier]

Another vote for medium-rare.

In the butt, Bob?

Actually, astroglide is correct.

[ThaSaltCracka]

hmmm this should have been a pole, right daryn?

[Six_of_One]

All you medium-rare people...I used to be one of you. Take the plunge...order it rare at a nice restaurant, and you'll never go back.

[deacsoft]

Medium-rare to rare. I don't mind seeing marks where the jockey was hitting it if it's cooked a little.

[Tim&Joe]

Tim: How do you like your meat Joe?

Joe: /images/graemlins/shocked.gif I don't have to tell you Tim.

Tim: I feel like cooking tonight Joe.

Joe: I feel like eating tonight Tim. /images/graemlins/heart.gif

[edtost]

medium rare or rare, depending mostly on how much i trust where the meat is from.

[B Dids]

Waved near the flame a couple times.

I'm with astro actually.

Good= med rare to rare

Avg= med to med rare.

[BeerMoney]

DARK.

You should read the section in Kitchen Confidential about what ends up as the well done steaks in restaurants.

Also, your friend is clearly wrong.

[jasonHoldEm]

Pittsburgh rare for porterhouses and up, mid rare for anything smaller. (Pittsburgh rare is burnt on the outside and rare in the middle, you need a thick steak to do it correctly...)

[deacsoft]

In Pulp Fiction there are only to ways:
burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell

[jakethebake]

Your friend is an idiot. Why even bother paying for a steak if your gonna do that to it?

[daryn]

nobody is an idiot who likes steak well done. i dig mine medium to medium rare, so i'm not just a clown who is trying to defend my own view. i'm just saying, you pay for the steak, you get it any way you want. i have had steaks well done, and while i would never order it like that in a restaurant, it still has some flavor. if some people like it, who am i to tell them they're wrong?

[felson]

Then again, you also think that raping kids is not wrong.

EDIT: not trying to hijack this thread. Just saying that if you don't think that crime is wrong, then why would you think that well-done is wrong.

p.s. well-done is wrong.

that statement is untrue.

as is this one.


by the way there is a big difference between something being inherently wrong and me thinking it's wrong. i think my original point at the time was that nothing can really be inherently wrong.

also let me just say this now, if anyone feels like arguing about this just PM me so we don't hijack this thread.

[felson]

Okay, then you think raping kids is not inherently wrong.

Anyway, I didn't mean to hijack the thread.

[WEASEL45]

Rare at a good restaraunt medium rare at a mediocre place

[AncientPC]

It's about as lame as cooked sushi, but as long as they're paying how are you supposed to tell them how to eat it?

[eggzz]

When my dad barbequed steaks on the grill, we would have to eat them the way he liked it, Medium Rare.

If we didn't like it that way, we would have to take it out to the grill ourselves and continue cooking it.

Thanks for that Dad.

I have carried the same tradition down to my family. And I also agree that the better the cut of meat, the less you can cook it. I personally love a fat three finger filet with one finger of red in the middle.
