Title: HOW do U like it cooked?
Post by: warhawk on August 21, 2009, 04:44:12 PM
hello fellow chrome domes:  we were @ the restaurant last night & my beautiful wifey ordered a steak.  she likes hers medium-well.  i like mine medium-well, also.  occasionally... i like my steak medium-rare.

 how 'bout U?  how do U like your steak?  rare?  medium-rare?  medium?  medium-well?  or well-done?  also... include the choice or your spouse, gf, bf, or significant other.  now... i'm getting hungry.  so... what's your story?

For me, anything more cooked than medium-rare is ruined.

It's not my own line, but it's how I view it, a steak should be carried through a hot kitchen by a slow butler. Period.

Just knock off the horns and wipe the a$$ for me.

I only eat well done meat.  I only eat meat that's sufficiently dead and I don't want any blood on my plate. 

I don't really eat much beef anymore and I have to say that steak bores me anymore.  Yes, it bores me.  I'll eat a steak and eat a few bites and love it and then I just wish I was done with it.  No, I don't think it has anything to do with my cooking preference.  I get bored eating cheesesteaks anymore also.  Beef is the only thing I like to eat that bores me.

I prefer chicken, the meat that tastes like nothing from what I've been led to believe.  I just never grow bored with it and it seems like you can do more with it.

Well, duh. If it's cooked to the consistency of shoe leather, I'd leave it on the plate too.

As someone who is quite handy in the kitchen I'll agree that chicken is great to work with and there's a lot you can do with it.

On the other hand,  good beef doesn't need it. Slap it on the grill and it's great all by itself!

We eat a lot more chicken and turkey than anything else -- but I do love splurging now and again on some great prime beef to grill! Yum!

My wife and I both like our beef cooked medium-rare.  My grilling skills are just ok.   I shoot for medium-rare but anything is possible.

It really depends on the cut, but usually I like mine Medium.

My partner, however prefers it where a good veterinarian could bring it back to life. He usually tells the waiter to have the chef, "walk it through a burning barn!"

Medium rare for me, medium for the wife.

For myslef, I prefer steaks cooked rare, although I suppose that's an oxymoron!  For the wife, she likes her's a little more towards the medium rare side.

On a side note, my favorite cut is a bone-in ribeye...mmmmmm  ;D

sounds like someone needs to go choke their  Chicken if you ask me..


anyways.. I like mine medium to med well.  Wife likes her's well done.  She will occassionally eat it med well if it comes out that way.  only red meat that I have to have well done is ground beef.  I dunno just that mushy ground up meat to me just is nasty...

Medium rare here too.  I don't mind a little pink in the middle of the burger but yeah...unlike steak, rare hamburger just isn't as appealing

Steak medium-well (when  I order it); hamburgers medium rare.

Before my trip to CA I liked my steak well done but down in Cali it seems like everyone likes their steak medium rare. I had never tried it so I did and loved it, very good.

 As far as burger goes it has to be well done. I know way too much about the farming industry and even meat cutting so I want it to be well done since burger is ground up meaning more surfaces exposed to germs and all. With steak as long as the outside is cooked its ok. My ag knowledge also prevents me from eating store bought eggs. The "cornish game hens" are also kinda a 'bleh' to me because they are not Cornish, games, or hens but really a hybrid young (couple weeks old) cockerel (young male).

 Anyway back to the main topic. My a teachers husband likes his steaks blue as he calls them. He likes it when they are pulled from the freezer then tossed on the grill for just long enough to thaw it around the sides and still be frozen in the center.

 And like others have said it all depends on the kind of steak...

Medium is good with me as long as it doesn't bleed.  Juicy is OK, bloody - no good.  I am in heathcare after all, seeing blood is usually not a good thing.  lol
Hamburgers have got to be done.

Free range eggs taste better anyway O0 and are generally a hell of a lot cheaper if you know a local source.

You know, it would be much cheaper to scrape some bark off a tree and dump a lot of A-1 on top!  :*)) :*)) :*))
