No. It tastes better and has a better texture.

It's not blood. The cow was drained of blood when it was killed. Blood doesn't just ooze out from between muscle fibers; it's contained within your veins and arteries.

Maybe the day you stop being a retard is the day you stop being a tastelet.

1- No. We enjoy it for the texture.
2- That's not blood. It's myoglobin.

[Anonymous No.12553146]

It's the texture, a lot easier to eat. My mother was and still whines about meat being red inside and I realized it was nothing to worry about when I cooked steak and it was a little red inside. Easier to eat and chew. People who shit on well-done steaks have a point though I do love a little charred meat every now and again.

Because it hasn't been butchered properly? If it were blood it would be coagulating. Beef is drained.

[Anonymous No.12553228]

Why is this such a controversial thing for flyovers? It‘s fucking bizarre. Even in Eastern Europe where people are generaly wary of this because of less than ideal quality control of meat, you‘d still be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks it‘s a great idea to burn a good clean fresh piece of meat to shit in abscence of sanitary reasons. I always thought the US being a nation of meat eaters and having a shitton of fantastic beef it would be taken for granted. Is it just because of the Trump thing or le ebic 4chin contrarianism?

>Ok, why when you cut muscle does it bleed, genius?
Because there are blood vessels in all of you.
But there isn't blood in a steak, because all the blood came out when they killed the cow, removed its organs and bones, and butchered it into several hundred pieces.

[Anonymous No.12553253]

Back when I ate meat, I used to always cook my steaks like 30 seconds on either side. Practically melts in your mouth.

Although if you're eating out, you should order Medium Well at least because restaurants are horrible disease factories. Yes, even that one you work at or the expensive one your going to try and yell at me about.

[Anonymous No.12553261]

When I was a kid, I'd only eat my beef well done.
Then, my parents introduced me to mid-well, medium, then mid-rare. I introduced myself to rare and blue-rare.
I don't eat my steaks blue, rare or mid-rare to appear manly, I eat it because I enjoy the texture and the taste.

Rare is not the same as raw. Also, with better cuts the purpose is to taste the quality which is best served rare.

Americans have always been obsessed by hygiene, since at least the 19th century. It’s not a bad thing per se, but Americans take it to another level. It’s what it was historically called “hygiene puritanism”. Ever seen the wacky Jesus freaks? It’s the same thing but with hygiene in general, which includes food. It baffles many Americans not to store eggs in fridge or even consume/use raw eggs. It’s due to industrial practices, hygiene puritanism from the 19th century (which also englobes morality), culinary traditions (most Americans are from rural Northern European descent), post-Depression era and post-WW2 conditions (harsh times lead to bad food), and yeah, marketing (which comes from industrial practices). It’s easier to sell a perfectly washed egg in America and it comforts soccer moms that their eggs are nicely washed, while in Europe eggs can be consumed raw despite being covered in chicken shit.

[Anonymous No.12554934]

>>12554931
Also the fact that many current day Americans are from other countries, especially shitholes, don’t help either since they have to consume their meat overcooked for sanitary reasons. The same reason why Chinks would drink warm/hot water even in summer after a century of shitting out liquid shit due to contaminated water.

Why are Americans so terrified of being killed by their food? 'I can't eat a rare steak it'll kill me' 'I can't eat a hollandaise sauce it'll kill me' 'I can't eat sashimi it'll kill me'. Are food-poisoning rates genuinely high there or is it just a bizarre cultural thing? I've never seen ANYONE be as paranoid about food as them.

you do see a lot of faggots who say they like it still mooing or the bloodier the better and I'm pretty sure they're mostly trying to show off and would prefer a medium rare if they were on their own

[Anonymous No.12556046]

I always order my steak medium-rare. Unless, of course, I'm sitting at a table in a steakhouse with a large group of people. In that case it's not so simple. I'm a gentlemen, so I never just go ahead and order first. I'll hold off for somebody else to start, and then I'll wait until it's my turn to order. Chances are, somebody else is going to order their steak medium-rare. I'm telling you, it's the best way to have a steak. But then the waiter will come around to me, “And for you sir? How would you like your steak prepared?” I can't say medium-rare now. I'll look like I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll look like I've never ordered a steak before, and now I'm just copying everybody else.

This is why it's great to order first at a steak place. Everyone else is definitely going to get their steak medium-rare. So when you order first, you look like you're in charge, like everyone else is following your lead. Then the second person also says medium-rare. “Very good, sir.” And maybe he really did want his steak medium-rare. It all depends on how fast he said it. If there was even a second's hesitation, it would be perfectly obvious that he was probably going to go for medium, but he didn't feel like being outdone by the first person. “I'll take mine medium … rare. Medium-rare.” A classic rookie I've-never-eaten-in-a-steakhouse-with-a-large-group-of-people mistake.

And then it goes down the line, medium-rare, medium-rare, medium-rare. But now everybody ordering, the fifth, sixth, seventh, even if they wanted medium, medium-well, it's just not happening. Nobody's going to stick their neck out like that. By the third or fourth person, the waiter is only even asking because he has to, because it's part of his job description. Bosses always gets really pissed when waiters try to save some time, try to cast out a blanket, “medium-rares all around?” question to the table.

[Anonymous No.12556052]

>>12556046
Every once in a while the waiter will start off with a person who clearly doesn't know how to eat steak and they'll say medium or medium-well. And the next person will order theirs, extra loud, medium-rare, as if to say, please don't confuse me with my idiot friend to my left, I'd like mine medium-rare. Please. And it'll go down the line, medium-rare, medium-rare, and after two or three people, that first guy will realize his mistake, and he'll get really embarrassed, and he'll just shout out to the waiter, who's already passed him, and he'll say, “Excuse me, you know what? I'm going to go for that medium-rare also, thanks.” And the waiter will say, “Very good, sir,” and he'll pretend to cross out something on his pad and write in something else, but it will all be an act, because he's not writing anything at all. It's always medium-rare. The first person always changes to medium-rare after everyone else orders medium-rare. It's a science.

But then it gets to me, maybe I'm like the eighth or ninth person ordering. And I'm no follower, I'm no nameless face in a crowd. So I'll say “rare, please.” And everyone drops their fork and stares. I learned this trick at my friend's wedding in Iowa last summer. The rehearsal dinner was at this steak place, and the specialty was rib-eye. Delish. Of course I was going to order medium-rare, but the first person ordered rare. I was like, what? Rare? Crazy. But then the second person ordered. Rare. Third, fourth, fifth. Rare, rare, rare. There was definitely a pattern here and it became clear to me how I'd have to order my steak.

I really hope that someday I'm out to dinner with a bunch of guys and for some reason it's my turn to order first. And I'm definitely going to order rare. And I know that that second person is just going to have to order rare also. And it'll be like dominoes, everyone falling in line, everyone getting a rare steak. I'm pretty sure that's what happened in Iowa. I think.

It doesn't though. The taste and texture are objectively worse in a blue/rare steak than medium rare. That's why if you ask any chef in the world to cook a steak they will do it medium rare

Wrong, you should order it rare because the chef will overcook it into medium rare or medium, and even though you wanted rare it increases your chances of getting it close

Anyone who doesn't enjoy a dish the way it is traditionally intended to be served is a child. Millions of people before you and currently agree on the best preparation, including those whose profession is literally food (and they're for all intents and purposes unanimous). It's okay to have preferences but it is laughable when you try to pretend you're right and all those people are wrong. You should be culled.
