I love well done. I know very few people are like me. I can't stand any pink. Call me crazy, my parents love it basically sliced right off the cow.

1 and a quarter inch thickness i go for 4 minutes one side and 3 minutes the other. then i let it sit for 10 minutes, because cutting into a steak after you just cooked it is blasphemy. ends up as medium rare.

medium rare to rare. Ideally still some char on the outside but i want red in the fucking middle.

medium and above to well is horrible. Why would you ruin a steak like that??

anything above medium is blasphemous, and only kids and faint-hearted women can order medium. The only reason to cook beef through is if it's shit beef (see: taco bell).

Also, to whoever above said Kobe is a cut of beef, it isn't. It's both a type of beef and a label for beef in the US, but they are not remotely similar. the Type of beef is from Wagyu cows raised in Kobe, Japan, and it's the most sublime beef money can buy. The "Kobe" you often see advertised is actually just angus, and not even remotely close in quality to Wagyu beef.

speaking of steak, on saturday I am having a dry aged bone-in frenched ribeye, super stoked, though it set me back a sizable portion of my weekly income.

You mean make it better mmmmmmmmmmm.....

It's all preference man, I prefer mine well done, I don't want to be chewing on it like a piece of gum. It cooks all the flavor of whatever you season it with right into the core.

I went to this ridiculous steak place, right in the town of whistler. I forget whats its called someone here might know, Like a real upscale place. I was young and really didnt know anything at the time. When the waiter asked me how I wanted my steak, I replied um idk medium to well. He laughed at me and said "nah ill give it to you rare"...It was the best steak I have ever had.

if you go to a nice place and order anything above medium, you are insulting the chef. seriously, it is like saying "i dont trust the food to not make me sick, and i dont trust you to make it taste good".

You get the shitty steaks with crap marbling when you order over cooked steaks. its really poor form.


that said, always, always medium rare.

tip #1, buy quality meat. if your steak is cooked rare to medium and its chewy you either cooked it wrong or bought shitty meat. there is nothing more tender and flavorful than a steak cooked properly to medium rare. the flavor you like from cooking it until its dead is still accomplished by cooking the meat for a much shorter time at much much higher temps. that way the outside gets charred and flavorful while the center remains juicy and retains its natural flavor.

No, he simply knows his food. And I'm TOTALLY with him on this one. When you taste Kobe, you don't wanna go back. It truly is, AWESOME.

Rare FTW!! Sometimes I'll have my steak medium rare, but mostly I eat it rare. Actually, I just had some rare steak for dinner tonight. Some lemon juice and montreal steak spice and thats whats up, so damn good!

Agreed, medium rare is the only way I eat steak.

OP Why don't you like it a bit pink in the middle? Worse thing in the world is that charcoal taste/feeling that comes with a well done steak.

No, its just because I don't like rare meat. People say that over cooked beef is tough and chewy, to me its not. I do not find medium> tender at all, I hate it. I will continue to "overcook" my steak to what I prefer.

This is what I came in here to post, please excuse my rantish thang. I have had that raw beef sliced extremely thing (not sure what it is called) and it was delicious.
