I like my steak rare and with a decent amount of pepper.
If it doesn't bleed when I poke it, it isn't done right.

STEAK.
Blue rare for me whenever possible. I'll cook to medium if I'm eating some trout I got cheap at the grocery store that's been sitting in the fridge a few days just because I don't trust it, but if I buy something pricier I'm going to cook right away or go to a steak house, it's got to be blue rare. Anything more is unacceptable.
STEAK.
I've always had mine medium, but I've never tried medium-rare, and I'd love to try it. I just don't want to order it in a restaurant and end up disliking it, therefore wasting my money! *Sigh*.
Obligatory chart.

To be honest, I wouldn't even go near Blue Rare, it looks goddamn raw. I don't want my meat to be "gel-like". Be like eating some bloody meat flavoured gelatin.
I'd probably be willing to 'sample' rare, to see if I'd like it, but definitely I'd love to try medium rare. I feel like I'm not part of the club yet because the lowest I've gone done to is medium.![]()
Rare and medium rare are great. Anything cooked more than medium rare is a waste of a good steak.
I was going to post that chart.
Rare is God tier and medium-rare is acceptable.
Rare. It has to be Rare.
Medium rare-medium.
Anything beyond medium rare is not worth the designation of "steak." At that point it starts changing from mouth watering deliciousness to "eh, it's ok."
Depends on the cut of meat really, though I am usually a medium-rare kind of guy. I also love beef tartare. SO smurfING GOOD. But expensive since eating raw beef safety requires expensive (read: tenderloin) cuts.
lol Pittsburg Rare. or "Blue Rare" as y'all have dubbed it. But it has to be completely black & burnt on the outside or I'm not happy. I had to bribe one of our cooks at LongHorn to do it for me 'cuz they all hate doing it. I tried ordering a steak that way at Logan's and the server blatantly told me they couldn't do it. I called her on her BS 'cuz I know that's not true. and told her they -can- do it that way, they're just being lazy assholes..
The Rancher's Sirloin at LH though is to die for... Bacon wrapped with an egg over-easy on top. I'm not a huge sirloin fan, but this one is great. So is their Porterhouse for 2 - a 40 oz Porterhouse with their table-side steak sauce.. Yummmmm and each person gets 2 sides. I try to avoid using steak sauce, but LongHorn's house steak sauce is really good. Especially when you mix in the Sriracha they give you...
