Tried one pretty rare for the first time last night. Like mooing rare. Damn it was good. I've always had it medium well before. Seeing all that pink was kinda gross but i don't think i'll eat one any other way from now on.

Medium
Medium Rare...pink throughout with a red center. It's blasphemous to turn your steak into beef jerky.
I like my steak like I like my women.
Hot, juicy and pink in the middle!
I prefer medium rare but I order medium in restaurants because the chefs tend to undercook it when you say medium rare.

I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
tri tip about 3 inches thick, crusty on the outside and medium rare in the middle. it has to be a VERY hot grill to get it that way.
Medium. No sauce, just a couple spices, flip it once and leave it the hell alone.
Well-done, almost charred!

We have an excellent filet at the restaurant (that I used to work at). I would want to slap people who ordered past medium and would want to stab them in the eye with their fork when they ordered it well done. It's like just get a god damn hamburger if you are gonna order a well done steak - they taste the same at that point. I also hate when restaurants use weights on their steaks - we do that for the MW to Well but we had a grill guy who put one on every steak. He would also slice it open to see if it was cooked right. I wanted to push his head onto the grill and put a weight on that. I begged n begged the owner to get a meat thermometer - but the stubborn ******* never takes advice. I went back a few weeks ago to help out and noticed the grill guy now has a meat thermometer and guess what they rarely get a steak sent back now. So friggin irritating.
I like mine MRM. Medium rare to medium but no restaurant really knows how to do that so I order medium cause like OH said they tend to undercook a MR. I would like to order it Pittsburg style but I have yet to find a place that does it right.
I'm also with Davii - if a steak needs sauce it's not a good steak. When I eat a steak I want to taste steak not A1. If I want to taste A1 ill eat A1 on a hamburg or something.
I always tell this story when talking steak temps. We have a regular customer who comes in and orders the filet - she wants it cooked 30 seconds on each side (no weights). The first time she ordered it it freaked the owner out so the cook grilled it about 1-1.5 minutes each side. She sent it back - lol. So she now gets it 30 seconds each side. Now to me that is gross. I couldn't eat it - it's freezing cold still - yuck.
