[Anonymous No.10440170]

Medium is literally the only way to have your steak and I'm not memeing.

This whole "rare" shit was started by Japanese because we all know how autistic and pointless Japanese cuisine is so they thought they'd start undercooking steak so that it would give them culture. (Note how this "rare" trend only came into fashion when Wagyu and Kobe beef was becoming known)

Beef is meant to be eaten warm hence why French restaurants for years served beef as medium (Gordon Ramsey and Marco Pierre all order their steaks medium).

Medium is the legitimate best way to eat the steak. The juices and flavour is locked in with a warm meal. Nobody wants to eat cold fucking steak and that's why it's always pissed me off to see this faggot hipsters fall for it and pretend it tastes nicer.

[Anonymous No.10440183]

>>10440170
This.

Always medium is how restaurants served beef for centuries. There was no well done or rare. Medium was already proved to be objectively the best way to eat steak hence why it was the norm for centuries. Rare steak was only made popular due to desperate attempts at culture revisionism in the late 20th century.

Not waiting for it to reach room temp works pretty well. That goes against everything I've ever learned for pan searing steaks, but when they're so thin its the only thing I've found that works if you want that good good crust.

The cheaper the cut the longer it's going to be cooked, any really good cut filet mignon is going to be rare or medium rare for me.

[Anonymous No.10440604]

>>10440595
This is true. I had some skirt steak that I didn't let reach room temp and cooked way to soon. It looked perfect, but the fat didn't reach a high enough temperature inside it to tenderize. More expensive cuts can get away with it since they're naturally more tender.

[Anonymous No.10440611]

The only reason we eat steak rare is because it is safe to do so. If we could safely eat rare chicken not many would because the texture would be disgusting. Same with steak, texture isnt as bad as chicken, but honestly tastes much better at least medium done.

Get used to your equipment and listen to the sounds the steak make and the way it feels and looks when it gets close to your preferred doneness. Timing is also very important to note, which be slightly different from the averages depending on your stove-top or oven, whatever you're using to cook with. Essentially it's all experience.

I do eat primarily for macros and not so much for pleasure, but the medium-rare to medium section is preferable. On a related note, a friend once made me a steak that was really fucking rare, while it was good, I wouldn't make a habit out of eating what is essentially raw meat.

It depends on the cut of steak. If it's a really tender steak like a filet mignon, I'll get it rare, because there's so little fat that it dries out quickly. But with a steak with a higher fat content, I'd go medium. Either way, I cook them sous vide, so there is no chance of any food poisoning, and I get the best tasting steak.

Anyone who eats their steak well done should just go to McDonalds instead, because it's a waste of money.

[Anonymous No.10444452]

Medium rare. Enough to render the fat, but not so much that you lose the great steak taste and texture.
