Had a lovely chunk of steak the other night, nice and juicy.

In my younger days I wouldn't touch a steak, but now I prefer it cooked medium, with a nice pink middle but not too much of the red stuff.

What's the general consensus on the best way to take your steak?

Not so red that it is bloody, but red in the middle, and then a good tender meat :-)
If it is "cooked through" you might as well throw it out in my oppinion.

Years ago I was taken out on business with a colleague to a Steak Restaurant in Dallas. We ordered a couple of large steaks and unbeknown to us our host changed my colleague's order. When the food arrived he was served a 50oz steak. He managed about a quarter of it!

Yea, I like mine like that - don't like it oozing bloody, but red/pink in the middle. At one time it was always "well done", but then I realised it's much more tender if medium - mmmmmmm - seems a while since I last had a nice steak :roll:

Medium-rare for me. Don't mind if there's blood providing it's been cooked very hot and the outside's seared. I personally think anything more than medium is ruining a good steak - many steak houses in Joburg won't serve steaks more than medium because they say it makes them tough and runs the risk of ruining their reputations!

In my younger days I wouldn't touch steak unless it was burnt to a cinder (I blame my family)

These days though, rare to medium, closer to the rare than the medium. The bloodier the better - delicious!!!

I think that's how it was then, though - in my family we always asked for a steak well done or cremated! I didn't know anybody who had any less than that! I don't know when it changed, but it is certainly a change for the better, although a friend of mine liked his "blue" - yuk, no thanks, that was not pleasant to watch!

In my younger days, a perfect rare steak would mean lifting it's tail and wiping its a**e!!

Very rare for me please. I've eaten and enjoyed blue steak, but prefer the outside a little more cooked than that. With a cream and brandy sauce and mashed potatoes. Damn, I'll have to go shopping now.

I am another that used to like my steak well done but now like it medium, I also like a little fat left on the outside.

Yes, I'm a big pepper sauce fan myself - definitely my favourite of the steak-accompanying sauce family!
