What is /ck/'s number? For me it depends on the cut, but

If I'm using my favorite sauce on it (like i would on a grocery store sirloin) then #4

If the steak is good enough to eat on its own, #3.

>>9026413
For me it's a 6. I actually like my food cooked instead of raw

>>9026413
Those look like ass. The "rare" #2 is seared on the outside but still raw ("blue rare") on the inside.

I go for a true rare, not a "we don't know how to cook" rare.

>meat

>>9026413
2, 3 at most.

>>9026420
>Those look like ass. The "rare" #2 is seared on the outside but still raw ("blue rare") on the inside.
No it's not, if there is pink, it isn't blue rare.

Rare means warm red center with pink edges, blue rare is red lukewarm throughout, no pink.

Enjoy your tapeworms

>>9026432
You're retarded.

>The CDC estimates that fewer than 1,000 people in the United States are infected with a tapeworm each year.

And the majority are far more likely from pork, not beef.

Not to mention, freezing the beef for more than a week will usually kill the eggs of a tapeworm before cooking anyway.
If you seriously think you're at ALL likely to get a tapeworm in your LIFE in the united states, you're a paranoid cuck.

>>9026440

>>9026443
You don't have a zero percent chance you fuck wit, if you honestly think that then you have NO idea how tapeworms are spread.


Jesus, just kill yourself you paranoid fuck.

>>9026443
Lol? I know you're probably trolling, but why the fuck would I eat a steak cooked so it tastes like leathery ass, when I can have a rare steak that tastes amazing and doesn't have tapeworms because i'm not a poor sack of shit living in Ecuador.

The fact you're even bringing up tapeworms means you're either a troll, or more likely a paranoid germaphobe or similar. Out of 300,000,000 people in the country, less than 1000 per year have tapeworms, of them, less than 50 have serious complications cause from the tapeworm, of them.

From 1990-2002, 221 cases of tapeworms causing human death in the US were recorded, of those 86% of those patients were from Latin america. California had 60% of all cases, by far the most of any state. Only 33 of the 221 deaths were US born citizens.

>>9026452
Thats because most americans microwave their steak to well done and eat it with ketchup

>>9026413
Depending on the cut and my thoughts regarding the quality, generally 2, but 1 if I think the particular piece of meat is of particularly high quality and I think it'll be prepared well by the staff. I always go for 2, regardless of quality when doing it at home, because frankly I've never successfully produced a decent crust for 1.

Like 8 people just got botulism from gas station nacho cheese sauce, not saying they didn't deserve it since they did for getting nacho cheese from a sketchy gas station but how in the fuck

>>9026413
Eating raw beef doesn't really scare or bother me but these steaks look like shit.
It looks like some retard pulled them out of the fridge and cooked them straight away.

Dumbufk

Doesn't matter if it's Jerome, DaNiqua, or Jose making your food.

low quality people are going to fuck up your food no matter what.

Thank fucking good we are moving to automation soon...

The $15 minimum wagers did a great job of making themselves obsolete.

>>9026737
Yes no shit but in California we only have Juans, DaNiqua works for the gov't. I cannot wait for automation since then I can punch in what I want and not have some spic fuck up an incredibly simple order. Just fucking let me send my order from my phone like chick fil a.

I like 6, with a lot of ketchup.

>>9026413
I'm legit afraid I'd lose a tooth on everything more done than rare. Anything beyond medium rare is not fit for chewing.

>>9026413

What's the point?

>>9026536

Gotta cover up that burnt taste with something I guess.

Regular medium for me.

>>9026737
>low quality people are going to fuck up your food no matter what.

Honestly, this is why I avoid fast food... and those are the niggers who actually care.

Imagine what the niggers who DON'T care will do to your fucking food.

A lot of people swear by 2, and that anything else is over done. Personally like a 4. Its safe to order anywhere, kind of hard to fuck up in terms of under or over doneness. If I can be guaranteed it, I like a 3, but sometimes someone who doesn't know how to cook plates the steak cold.

2 or 3

Between 2 and 3 for me.

>>9026413
4 or 5
not because I'm afraid of food poisoning or anything, I just think a plain raw slab of meat is kind of boring
a steak tartare is much nicer as far as raw meat is concerned

Three and a half, the end

1-3 are differing levels of blue rare

Medium rare cooked properly looks like this

>>9028987
lol? no.

Medium rare is warm red center with a clear pink outer ring before the sear.

>>9029002
Definitely not; you're supposed to let the steak rest for exactly this reason.

>>9029005
No, Medium is defined as pink and firm, as you see there.

Medium rare is warm red center and firm.

Rare is red center and soft

blue rare is very red throughout.

your chart is objectively wrong. pic related is the real chart.

>>9026413
4-6

>cut
Those arent cuts

1 and 2 looks like it wasn't cooked at all. Too rare of steak doesn't really have any flavor.

1-2 at most

>>9028987
That looks delicious.

>>9026413
Between a 3 and 4 is best for standard steaks, between 4-5 for tips.

Anything less tastes like shit.

Sure is summer in here.

How cheap is your steak that rare or medium rare somehow has LESS flavor than medium well to well done?

>>9026536
Where do vegan body builders get the 100g of protein they need per day without whey?

>>9026413
I would be in between 3 and 4

>>9026413
3 or 4 depending on the meat....

Which is winning? 3?

>>9026682
only sane person in thread

2, sometimes 3

a nice 4-5 is ok too

fuck 6 tho

1 and only 1 has the purity of the natural flavor of the beef

>>9026413
3 most of the time but I'll do 2 on occasion.

>>9026413
3.

I try to cook mine right there and if I order in a restaurant, I always ask for medium rare. That way if they over or undershoot, it's still edible.

>>9026413
5-6 is the only way.

>>9026413
medium well is the only correct answer

>>9026413
1 with lots of ketchup.

>>9026413
4

2-4. I dont order below medium rare if Im not somewhere quality, but my preference is rare.

5 to 6, I've never had anything preceding a 4. Not bait, but what's the appeal of having your steak rare? The only raw beef I've eaten is carpaccio, which I loved.

medium

anyone who orders less than medium is the same type of person who raves about MUH IPA's and $100 whiskeys that taste no better than a $20 bottle

6 because I don't like getting sick

'Rare steak' is probably one of the biggest memes to ever exist.
Yes, people exist who prefer it. But I can guarantee you a whole swathe of people who say they do, actually don't and only jump on this bandwagon to appear to be 'manly' and/or keep up some absurd standard of appearance.

Eating fresh raw beef won't ~usually~ make you ill though, and unless you have some gastro/immune bullshit plaguing you already you won't have any ill effects aside from a hearty shit tomorrow.
There's always the risk of infection with raws, no matter how small it might be.
>E. Coli
>Salmonella
>Campylobacter
>Listeria
>Shigella
>S. Aureus
>Hepatitis

It's still fucking repellant tho.

5 or 6 here.
Preferably butter fried and peppered.
1-4 will cause me serious problems (aside from being revolting).

>>9026432

I don't understand the circle jerk around steak. I'd rather eat chicken nuggets or something

>>9030814

4 is the tastiest but I get scared so I cook it to a 5 most of the time

>>9030814
Do you seriously think protein doesn't exist outside of animal products? I was vegetarian for a year. It really wasn't hard to get my protein in for lifting

I go for weeks at a time without meat protein, it's more convenient and I feel better

I pretty much only eat meat for the taste

I didn't realize how dairy-heavy the american diet was until I lived in asia for a year.

Does that mean my body had to acclimate to it, or that cheese is bad?

>>9026413
usually 3-4,if it's good quality steak, i could go as rare as 2 though. 5 is somewhat acceptable but 6 is a no no for me
>>9026432
wow, a genuine retard, never thought i would see one!

Lets take a look at the "Top vegan protein sources"
>Spinach: 7 kcal/cup, 0.9g protein (
>Black Beans: 624 kcal/cup, 39g protein
>Quinoa: 222 kcal/cup, 9g protein
>Tofu: 176 kcal/cup, 9g protein
>Lentils: 230 kcal/cup, 18g protein
>Tempeh: 320 kcal/cup, 31g protein
>Nut butter: 1518 kcal/cup, 65g protein
>Soy Milk: 131 kcal/cup, 8g protein
>Sprouted grain bread 68 kcal/slice, 2.3g protein

At best. If you sat down and ate 19 cups of spinach in a single sitting, you'd get:
121 kcal, 16.3g protein.

There you have it. As I said, no vegan food source can compare with whey in terms of calorie/protein ratio.
>Fage 0% 130 kcal/cup, 23g protein

>>9026605
>ketchup a must
you're retarded

what is the least common way of ordering meat to be cooked? i would think medium-well, if we aren't counting blue because some places will not serve it that rare.

You just be really new to lifting if you think whey is a necessity. I haven't used whey in probably a year and a half and make better gains now that I simply eat more than I did using whey as a crutch.
Keep talking out of your ass though. It's pretty entertaining.

>>9026413
3.5

They are all shit. Steak should be a solid colour throughout.

>>9026413
The medium-rare in that image is actually a bit under, and the medium is a bit over.

If you flip your steaks every 30 secs or so you can get that nice pink shown in the center of the medium all on the insides, with as much gray on the outside as the medium-rare.

The medium-rare is still cold in the middle.

Obviously the idiot who cooked these had the heat on too high, didn't flip his steaks enough, and did not rest them either.
