Charred on the outside, pink on inside with lots of grill smoke. I have perfected cooking steaks exactly how I like them.

I usually do med rare but recently have been taking them off rare and by the time I cut into them it’s perfect.

Rare plus I assume

Ribeye medium-rare to medium, definitely need to get some of that connective tissue rendered.

Strip or Filet, rare to medium-rare.

I pull mine at 120 so after resting they end up around 125

I order Rare because most of the time they come out a little over cooked

If they hit it perfect even better. And even if its a little under I'm good with it.

Going for the downvote record here. Medium well



I've heard people say medium well is too dry/tough, but I've never found that the case. Whether I do it myself or order at a restaurant, I've never had a problem. I do realize I'm in the minority here.

I'm not a fan of the meat being cold on the inside, but when I sous vide, that takes care of that issue. A nicely seared and hot rare steak is amazing.

Have you ever had a medium or medium rare steak? What about that makes it worse to you than a medium well steak. Genuinely curious.

I’m in the same boat, medium well. I tend to like most other things well done. I just have a different palate.

Cooked no more than medium rare and have no issue with a rare steak as long as it was left out to get to room temperature before cooking so the middle isn't cold when done.

Personally, just take the “moo” out, decent grill marks on the outside, and a nice Cabernet…

Obviously not, Jack.

But that wasn't the question, now was it?

Yes, I've had medium and medium rare several times. I don't hate either but there's something about the center not being piping hot that bothers me. It's mostly a temperature thing for me, plus the visual of red/pink is not as appealing.

That's why I let my steaks sit on the countertop until they get to room temperature. Then I hit them with just a small bit of olive oil then season them pretty heavily before tossing them on the grill to finish off.

I get my grill as hot as I can and cook them so I get good crosshatch grill marks on the outside with a nice sear and still no more than medium rare on the inside.

Lean cuts like Filet I like seared very hot and fast with a crust and almost raw inside.

More marbled cuts medium rare, maybe turned often on a hotter grill to get the right combinatoin.

Ideal is a well marbled ribeye at 131° edge to edge with a nice crust on the outside.

No sauce, but I do enjoy sauteed mushrooms and/or onions or even a nice blue cheese crumble.

Sides of creamed spinach and steak fries.

Goes perfectly with a nice cab or Malbec, but I also enjoy a good robust porter or smoked porter with steak.
