More rare than that and it's still on the hoof.

[Anonymous No.19863906]

rare steaks are often sent back because people think they're eating rare at home when it's actually medium and then they get rare from a steakhouse and think it's raw

Ok, but the steak in OP photo is actually raw.
Rare is still cooked. That meat isn't red it's purple, and the texture of raw meat is obvious.

I kind of disregarded the op image since it's just a stock photo. the point still stands. steakhouses will always cook a little more done than rare because rare meat is a minefield of idiots returning their food because they didn't even know what they were asking for.

I think you might be colorblind, anon. You do understand that "Rare" means exactly what you just said, right? Seared, cool in the middle.

Restaurants are usually too pussy to cook to order when it's a request for rare.

>>19863897
If you go to a steakhouse and they don't cook your steak correctly you can absolutely ask for a refire. Being able to cook a steak to temp is one of the main things that they do. If they come back and tell you it is cooked the way you ordered it, 99.99999% of the time YOU are the one who is wrong.

It's called well done because it's fucked, so it's like a sarcastic well done.
"Oh well done, we-ell done" accompanied by slow-clapping, and then a fine for Gross Abuse of a Corpse.

Medium Well is meaningless horseshit, and it's fitting because you can serve a Well Done steak to these cunts and they'll eat it, or a Medium steak to these cunts and they'll eat it because anyone who orders medium well, all fifteen of them in the global population, is only ordering it because they don't want to look like a retard who orders Well Done, but they are a retard so they think Medium is erring on the side of bloody.
Speaking of which, why the fuck do these people think cows are just massive bloodbags where the blood doesn't travel through veins but seeps through the meat?

Medium, Medium Rare, and Rare are all perfectly acceptable.

You are but it's not your fault it's just the collective reactionary syndrome of being a long term 4chan user. Often it's a useful defensive tactic to avoid the rampant conformity of normalfags to shitty things but sometimes it backfires causing you to reject simple and useful things just because some faggy youtuber made a video about it so you have to hate it because you hate the person doing the thing.

I mean, I've actively avoided ordering steaks at most family restaurants because I knew it would be mediocre compared to what I could easily make at home, so it makes sense in hindsight.

I will never order the lamb shank at a restaurant because my way of eating a lamb shank is to grab it by the bone and rip that fucker apart with my teeth. I eat every scrap of tendon, I suck out the marrow, I cleanse it of every bit of meat and wind up with a bunch of completely separated bones.
I also chew the crunchy ends off a chicken drumstick.

I go fucking caveman. Sometimes I'll even gnaw on the bone till it starts to fragment.
Luv me gristle, luv me fat, something about meat on the bone turns me into proto-man.
The most comfortable way to eat it is hunched over the plate. Especially plate on the floor, hunched over in squat.
God damn, that's the most primordial pleasure of eating right there.
