DakotaHale Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I would (probably falsely) assume more right-leaning people would prefer rarer steaks but let's see how this ends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaHale Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 I usually eat it rare, but occasionally blue or medium-rare depending on the steak. If I'm going to a fancy steakhouse I'm ordering medium-rare. Medium-rare is probably the "objectively" correct way to eat a steak if there was one. If I'm going to a Texas Roadhouse or some cheaper steakhouse I order rare because they usually overcook it to medium-rare anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many ways to enjoy beef that are highly flavourable - and without being overpriced or having bones involved in the meal itself (I'm aware all meat comes from bones at some point, but I really can't stand dealing with them on my plate - it makes me feel like a caveman). Since there's no option for, "doesn't eat steak," I have to manually point this out (poll choices on this forum as a whole REALLY need improvement, especially if certain posters like to indignantly pester about, "don't forget to take the poll," just for posting something on that that thread). Fillet steaks aren't on bones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPotatoTed Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I used to eat steak well done. I didn't even know this was weird, until I was in the military and befriended a Texan who lost his goddamned mind. Haha. But steaks that are medium or less just are too chewy for me -- too fatty or something. I don't know, it's a texture thing. I gag on it. So I settle for medium-well, which tastes perfect when done correctly. And my favorite is filet mignon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I order Rare ONLY if it's a good place, I don't trust eating low quality steak rare like at Texas Roadhouse, that is asking for food poisoning. If you go to a super nice steakhouse that's when it should be ordered rare. Med-Rare normally though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the measures of a steak being good is it not needing A1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hestia Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I've always been a super picky eater so being well done is no surprise from me. Taste + texture have always been dual problems for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezi Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Steak should not usually take sauce, but if any sauce is added it should be barbecue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pringles Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I chose medium because that's typically what I get in an unfamiliar place, just in case. But places around here I know... especially some of my favorite super good restaurants in the city, I get medium rare, and I hold the A1 for a steak that truly doesn't need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing beats a GREAT steak (beef wise). But I agree many many things beat a normal to good steak. Can we all talk about another red meat, how good LAMB is? Nothing beats lamb curry with some naan, and also a lamb and rice plate from a halal cart in the middle of the city.

Saw some cheap lamb marked down half off at Walmart and couldn’t pass it up. Never really done it before so I cooked it like I would a steak (I assume they’re the same). Cooked mine blue rare and cooked my friend’s medium-ish (he has never gone below medium-rare in his life). I know pictures aren’t much to go on but if anyone has any advice (besides that I seared them too hot lmao) or general pointers I’ll take it. First two pics are my blue one and the third is the one I gave my buddy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcczar Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I used to do medium-rare. Now I'm medium or medium well. I like steak, but I seem to be a lot less interested in it than most people I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried lamb a long time ago at a "Greek" festival down here and it was really good. Although I don't eat it regularly at home, I enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
