>as I cut into it, it's tough as fuck, and not medium rare, it's somewhere between medium well and well done, there's barely any pink
>you could say it's juicy if "juice" meant plain water, watery as fuck

I'm romanian
Is my country really doomed to have shitty overpriced steak? I only know of one other steakhouse besides this and its like 70% more expensive so no ty. As for raw beef products? Hard as fuck to find in stores unless in some processed form, could only find dry aged beef with barely any marbling and pre shaped burger patties, nothing else.

No not at all, beef is just hard as fuck to find for some reason, I genuinely do not understand why is the case, perhaps its just painfully unpopular among Romanians? No idea

I think I could live with no beef. I do love it but there's a lot else.
Cooking to the best ingredients you have on hand locally is just cooking. Don't feel like you're missing out because people fixate on steak. It's mostly tied into a cringey version of masculinity anyway rather than being an actual food thing.

what good meat do you cunts have?

Why would you eat medium rare? Also just cook it yourself, and also where did you buy it from? I can only think that steakhouse you mentioned is some "bistro" type cafe still surviving from communist times who simply do not know how to cook steak.

I've only ever had one good steak at a restaurant and it was very expensive. I don't order them anymore.

They generally taste like propane or some weird burnt flavor that I can't explain but it's always like that with steak/lamb at restaurants. Maybe they don't clean their grills or pans?

lol wut? What does liking burgers, chili, etc have to do with masculinity? And why is masculinity a bad thing to begin with?

you've never encountered this nonsense before?

you could just browse a bit and see it

>why is masculinity bad
it's not, unless you see it as steak/gun/truck related, in which case, it's kinda cringey

4chan isn't real life. No one acts like that in the real world.

>in which case, it's kinda cringey
There is nothing wrong with guns and trucks and it has nothing to do with masculinity. I know plenty of women that like those, too. How old are you, anon? No offense, but you sound like a 15 year old.

Yes they do retard. And that's besides the point. This is a guy in ROMANIA. Saying it's limited to online memes and it's not in real life means absolutely nothing because all he's influenced by is online memes.

>There is nothing wrong with guns and trucks
Why are you saying that? Does anything I said imply I think there is? I started this by saying i love steak.
>I know plenty of women that like those, too.
And? Why are you explaining that?

Your country doesn't even grade meat, it was an old piece of beef roast from one of the cows which walked off Noah's Ark.

I spent some time in Costanta back in 2019. You guys can't do beef, every steak I had fit OP's description but what Romanians DO excel at is lamb. Huge flavor and super juicy. Also petty crime.

In a restaurant if you aren't served what you ordered you send it back. If it doesn't come back again the right way then you leave. There's absolutely no point to eating or paying for food that isn't what you ordered. If the restaurant is well-managed they will want you to send it back if it's not done properly because this lets management know that the kitchen is fucking the dog

it depends on what cut of steak it is
rare only makes sense for fillet

if it's something a bit fattier like a scotch then the fat rendering more should take priority.

I order rare because when they fuck up, it tends to be medium rare to medium, which is still edible.
And if they get it right, it's a rare steak.

Steak, specifically is tied into an American subgroup that fetishizes a sort of flashy manliness. It’s growing a big beard, camping in your backyard to get pics of your leather and aluminum camping equipment, and eating steak and eggs to show that you’re a manly man. Of course being sure to post everything on social media. Good steak is good, but that’s about it.
