This isn't even right, though. A rare steak is not 'raw', it's heated through. Blue-rare steaks have to be brought to room temperature (or heated slowly) before being cooked to accommodate this. The fact that the restaurant can't get this right means that if I was forced to order there I'd get medium-rare even though rare's my preference.

And chefs don't hate well-done steaks. Where I work, the pieces with lots of gristle in them go in the Well Done pile because such a long cooking-period is able to render it in a way that the other levels of doneness can't. There's no taste difference between a quality well-done steak and a dirt cheap well-done steak, and a smart chef takes advantage of that rather than bitches about boomers having preferences.

I think some of the former might be resentment against older people for forcing well-done shit on them because they think anything less is unsafe. One time my dad did a fillet roast for Christmas dinner, medium-rare, left it to rest, and when he came back from setting the table he discovered my grandma had microwaved it for six minutes because she didn't think it was done. It ruined the meal and the day.

The well-done people who are aggressive to rare steak and its fans (Rather than just not liking the taste, which is a legitimate opinion) fell for the claims that it wasn't safe, and have no ability to take a joke.

Depends on the cut, but if I could pick semi-medium rare I would.

They do that because when they were kids, the meat they got back then was bumblefuck farm meat with no safety standards, so eating it undercooked legitimately could make you sick and give you parasites. Early-mid 1900's meat was trandition between farm meat and industrual meat so the methods stuck

I’d like a restaurant that differentiates between char and the doneness of the interior. I’d like a well charred steak medium rare.

My ex girlfriend's whole family ate well done steaks, with one member eating no sides, insisting he "doesn't eat rabbit food." He's in his late 20s.

The first time I had a steak with her she was shocked at how raw my medium rare steak was. She later told her family about how when I cut into it all this blood poured out. You'd think I'd eaten a water balloon full of blood from her description. It was a normal sirloin steak, it had some juices like normal.

In case any one is wondering, juices from steak are not blood, it's mostly water and myoglobin.

Depends. If you're grinding your own beef at home, as long as you have sterile grinder and counters, you shouldn't have any issues with cooking a burger medium rare or even rare.

The problem with ground beef comes from shitty sterilization practices and letting that ground beef sit around for awhile.

Fresh ground beef with proper cleanliness is perfectly fine to eat like standard beef.
