Another shot

thats medium at best

It's like medium.

>>7398732
I see a lot of red though

>>7398719
That is medium rare headed into medium. Different restaurants will have a different vernacular for this level of doneness, but that's not really relevant.

Point is your dad probably likes blue rare and so he's going to complain unless you Pittsburgh his steak.

yeah its medium

>>7398738
Yeah. That's what differentiates medium rare from medium well.

The gradations are very specific and it doesn't take much to slide from one to another.

>>7398719
I'd eat it and Id enjoy it pham

Don't let your pops break your balls

perfect medium steak

rare has bright red, yours has none

>tfw I always get my steaks medium
>because I secretly hate rare steak

You're a pathetic excuse for a son, OP.

Your average person will call this medium rare.

A professional cook/chef will call this literally at the tipping point of being medium.

shoulda used a probe thermometer

I can't cook, this is only the third time I cooked a steak. Last time I did that it ended up being well done when I was aiming for medium rare. I kind of did this low and slow on the stove and took a guess when to take it off.

How long did you cook it for?

>tfw when you'll never have a son to abuse for cooking a steak incorrectly

>>7398719
Your dad is a fag. Real men eat their steaks burnt to hell.

You need to handle steaks more harshly. High heat for a quick sear, with short duration. If you've got a pan hot enough, cooking an inch-thick steak properly won't take more than 5-6 minutes in total for rare. After it's done let it sit. Don't cut it to test it's done-ness, just have confidence that you did it right.

Get a pan screaming hot, and go ~2 minutes for rare per side, then let it sit there for 5 minutes, off the pan, before you touch it.
