So I am sitting here sitting eating my Steak and I was just wondering how everybody likes to have their Steak cooked. I usually like Medium-Rare, but this Steak came out more Rare, which I don't mind.
Wow, I can't believe 6/6 picked the same answer so far.
I gotta admit, I might have to bump it up to Medium when I eat at Applebees. I swear the last one I got mooed at me. They always have those thick cords in them, like you're eating somebody's carotid artery.

I find it the opposite, alot of places I go to always over cook the meat.

My wife used to be the same way, until she tasted the goodness that is medium-rare. She used to be grossed out by the redness, but the taste, juiciness, and tenderness that comes with a medium rare converted her over from eating the hockey pucks she used to cook.
Medium-rare if it's at home/a cookout setting. Medium to medium well if I'm at a restaurant, I'd rather be safe than sorry if I can't see it being cooked.
I just cooked up two pieces of steak on the grill (Rib Eye) for some relatives and they liked their's well done. I cut me off a piece early when it was rare and enjoyed it with some potato salad and whiskey.

Depends on the cut but for the most part mid rare. Anyone that goes with Mid Well and above is a in idiot and shouldn't even have the privilege of eating steak.
[quote name='ITDEFX']how can anyone eat steak rare? I thought this was not safe.
I gave up on "well done" long ago after restaurants could never figure out how to get it "well done"...so medium is fine with me.[/quote]
I don't have that problem that much anymore. The places seemed to have learned how to actually cook. I usually have to tell them to butterfly it though.
I like to buy grass-fed NY strip steaks and cook them for only about 3 or so minutes per side, so the outside is brown, but the inside is raw but still hot. in' awesome, and the lack of heat means that the nutritional integrity of the meat is still intact. I don't do it all the time, though, because grass-fed beef is about $16 a pound, and if you try that with grain-fed beef you could get sick.
