Medium rare steaks are disgusting

[brianmanahan]

Pretty awesome considering that cavemen enjoyed better overall health and life expectancy than agricultural societies.

Also, considering that 80 dollar steak places default to medium rare for their steaks, I'm pretty secure in my love of a good rare steak.

Lol, better health for cavemen? No way.

And anyone who pays 80$ for food is a nincompoop.

The fact of the matter is that most good steak restaurants will either have the waiter tell you or have it written on the menu not to cook steaks past medium. You can't argue with that.

 

[brianmanahan]

Well considering you're in the minority. How does it feel to be wrong?

Minority opinion does not imply incorrectness

My income is in a minority bracket too, does that mean it's bad? Nope.

Are you in the minority that makes more than McOwned? Because if so, yes, it is bad!

 

[surfsatwerk]

You can't argue with that.

Watching my dad ask for ketchup never gets any easier.

There is not a national standard on medium rare.


Some places cook it so you barely see pink in the center.


Some other places make the outside look almost black/burnt but the center is still drippy with blood.


Truth is many do not know how to cook but the top reply:
"Some places cook it so you barely see pink in the center." is the proper way to cook it.

And, here folks, we have an example of a good parent.

Sounds like you'r getting your steaks from Applebees.

Beef cooked anything beyond medium loses all of the properties of beef. I've also yet to find a single person that didn't have some kind of psychological aversion to medium to medium rare beef, but when they tasted it it changed their way of thinking. There's always a pattern: "I don't like steak, and it's gross if there's any blood." The reason these people hate steak is it's shoe leather by the time they cook the snot out of it.

People I've converted from "I don't care for beef in general" to "I'll take it medium or mid-rare every time!":

-wife
-daughter
-son
-mother-in-law
-1/2 friends at work

People that still hate steak because they can't bring themselves to try medium:

- father-in-law
- boss
- other 1/2 of friends in office

Well, if it's on the low end of the minority, it kind of does mean it's bad

I find this to be true. People who dislike medium rare steaks are generally people who haven't had medium rare steaks and avoid them due to "they are icky" and little else. I was able to convert my GF and her father, but her mother is still hung up on it being even slightly pink inside and that means "raw". I've explained nearly a dozen times, but she just refuses.

"I don't like steak, and it's gross if there's any blood."

I always loved that excuse, for those who don't know it ain't blood, it's Myoglobin and water, and it's good for you.

It's disgusting.

It's disgusting.

Your average hotdog is about 100x more disgusting.

Best when soaked up with a nice slice of italian bread.:thumbsup:

 

[mnewsham]

It's disgusting.

it's disgusting in that your mind associates it with blood and blood is icky, in terms of flavour it's very good.

True, but hotdogs don't improve much with proper cooking whereas steaks do.

Don't go to Europe. They commonly serve blood pudding for breakfast:

My daughter is the same. she will complain if its over Medium rare. in fact she would eat it if rare.

she says "the bloodier the better". yes she is a odd child LOL

WRONG!

i love hot dogs (we get them from the butcher all the time) but they are far far better grilled.

then topped with fresh cut onions../drool

 

[smackababy]

I don't know what these people are talking about. Hot dogs are fucking awesome...

Maybe, if you ketchup eating Communisists acted a little more American you'd enjoy hot dogs.

 

[Grooveriding]

Rare or medium rare depending on the cut. Just have a hamburger if you plan to incinerate your steak rather than ruin the meat
