How Do You Like Your Steak?

[Supernova190188]

So , what's the best way to have your steak cooked ? personally I'm a medium rare man, how about you lot?

Depends on the steak to be honest. For a good fillet I'd go rare, for a sirloin or ribeye I'd go for medium rare.

Your thread reminded me of this article in my home town.

Med-rare for me. I like a bit of blood.

What cut, rare sirloin will not be very nice.

My default choice would be medium rare - I may vary it slightly depending on the cut of the meat, or the place I'm eating in.

I'd agree.

[magpies]

varies with cut

as long as moist, easy on the mouth and with taste.......I do like a good medium rare fillet (and washed down with a full bodied red...Primitivo / Tempranillo / Shiraz or similar)



mind you when carving the Sunday roast I have been caught carving the 'almost' burnt parts and putting them to one side for later to savour!!!!!

cut its horns off and wipe its a r s e !

Rare to medium/rare anything over is a bit plebish and anything under is just a bit too try hard.

Rare if it's a good cut.

[davepoth]

Bleu when I trust the restaurant. Rare otherwise.

[Shaoxter]

Medium rare ribeye is my favourite.

Fillet is totally overrated btw

... And walk it past a radiator :-)

Can't beat a good sirloin or ribeye, rare but well rested fried with salt/oil only. If you've got a good butcher rump (often overlooked) can be cheap and tasty.

Had a nice bit of skirt last night, bit bloody.

[pad58]

All I can say is cooked.

[TheJimi]

Rare.

I have to say, I really hate asking for a rare steak and getting medium rare (or worse!) instead.

There is no one single answer, it depends on the cut.

My favourites are bavette and onglet. Restaurants which know how to cook steak properly serve these.
