Medium is best

>>8675979
I respect your choice in how you want your steak cooked. I prefer medium rare though.

>>8675979
Well done is done well. Its literally in the name. Enjoy your bloody steaks.

>>8675995

Anyone ever order a blue rare steak?

I dont see that tasting super good, medium rare is a sweet spot.

i generally like somewhere between rare and med rare. but it really depends on the cut and quality

>>8675979
There's a small spot between medium and medium rare that is ideal, but I have inconsistent results in trying to get it. If I'm eating out I just ask for medium rare.

>>8675995
>blood

You're retarded.

>>8675979
Depends on the cut usually though for everyday cheap steak I did medium. Higher quality cuts I go with medium rare.

There is one correct way to eat a steak. As a raw piece of meat with a thin layer of crispy sear, served with mashed taters, asparagus and a bottle of shiraz

Enjoy your flavorless slab of leather

no, just don't, try eating your shoes, it tastes the same and has the same chew

>>8677109
Top right is only correct choice

Always medium rare, except if the meat is of high quality, then rare/blue rare all the way

>>8676052
I prefer it but I can understand why others would not. I'm happy with anything under medium, and sometimes searing it as rare as possible becomes almost an exercise in ego stroking (look at how rare I like MINE!), but I do really enjoy a good, rare steak.

>>8677130
it's a bit under. see how the flesh is a bit stringy and ratty after being cut? just a bit more resting to raise it that 5 degrees to 2nd column right side is all it needs.

>>8675995
It's possible to make a good well done steak, but not by grilling. Got to slow cook it at a lower temperature. For grilled steak or anything at a restaurant that is done on a searing hot pan, well done is just going to mean overcooked.

>>8677356
And on the other hand, a good rare steak is possible, but you've got to let the meat come to room temperature before cooking it, and let it rest a bit after cooking it.

Most people who think rare steak is bad have never had a good rare steak, and most people who think well done steak is bad have never had a good well done steak.

>>8676219
hearty chuckle, thanks

>>8675979
For me the most important detail about a steak is the quality of the meat. If it's shit-tier meat making it into some sort of a chili is the only recourse (and by shit-tier I mean alright but cheap).
I love steak. Every couple months or so (less in summer when the grill is active) I'll go buy some nice NY Strips or some other good cut, dry aged a bit if possible but only from places that offer really fresh stuff. It's always a bit pricey but so so worth it. Salt & pepper rubbed into the steak while it gets up to room temperature before cooking.
My method is usually a high heat sear or char whether in the cast iron pan or on the grill and cook for 4 or 5 minutes on one side before flipping and adding another minute or 2 tops (this is assuming it's a nice, thick cut of course).
Then resting under a loosely wrapped piece of aluminum foil for close to the amount of cooking time before slicing. Delicious rare to med rare steak every time.

>>8676891

USDA was a mistake

I like to order medium because if they overshoot it or undershoot it, I'll still eat it.

Medium rare is 135, not 145. Not sure what that chart is about, but the temp numbers are all fucked.

>bunch of links that disagree with each other and most say medium rare is 140+
Yeah, fuck you. Medium rare is 126-134. Deal with it. You don't need to autistically prove yourself right when you're wrong. And citing shit like the usda is retarded. Do you cook your chicken breasts to 165?

You shouldn't. 150 at 5 minutes is more than enough.

>>8678620
The point I was making is that your "widely accepted" claim isn't what I'm seeing. I usually see medium rare as being 130-140F. So I just compromised and made it 135. I haven't heard anyone tell me that med. rare starts at 126. What I do is pull at 130 and let it rest up to 135. I've provided sources and you have provided me nothing except your word.

>>8678639
>confirmation bias
You could have easily found sources that said 126-134 but you didn't want to because you want to be right. So you cited the USDA and "safe" recommendations.

Here's some for you so other people won't think I'm bullshitting:

http://www.sousvidethailand.com/how.php?lang=English

You'll notice these have a common factor: Don't source the USDA or "safe" meme temperatures.

>>8678600
Oh look a faggot.

>>8678600
FAG ALERT

>>8678673
Dude, I care just as much about the USDA "safe temperatures as you do, which is to say, not much. I just grabbed the first handful of results from googling "beef doneness" and didn't see any numbers that mentioned medium rare @ 126-135.

By the way, most of those sources are saying that medium rare starts at 130 as well, which is what I was saying in the first place. I don't think we really disagree here, we both can agree that medium rare steak is the best, and this faggot >>8678600 is wrong, right?

>>8675979

USDA has lowered it's temperatures a bit over the years, not just with beef, but also poultry. You both may be right, just not up to date, depending on the information you're using.

>>8676007

>>8675979
I personally enjoy medium-well and well-done. Just kind of a preference for me for most foods, I tend to cook most things a bit longer than others. It's never been about health concerns (I'm aware that burning some foods can actually be unhealthy as well), or because of the look or """blood"""

>>8681984
The image may have been old or altered then. Currently, USDA still calls for 145 minimum.
