What level of doneness would you say this steak is?
My brother claims this is medium rare, I say it's medium.
I'd say medium rare.
Doesn't look very good in any case.
>>7603120
It's right on the border of med rare and med.
>>7603120
It's medium rare.
its fucking raw you plonker
>>7603142
jee whizz man do i really have to explain steak cooking basics to you? XD
Medium rare bordering on rare.
Are those apple slices?
>>7603295
Maybe. Or, you know, roasted red potato and herb, a traditional side to a steak.
>>7603298
They look like apple slices.
>>7603299
But they are not apple slices even if they appear to be apple slices.
>>7603120
are those apple slices?
I like good apple slices only.
are those apple slices?
>>7603120
Why are you eating apple slices with steak?
>>7603120
aw man steak n apples, a classic
I used to go to a local roadside diner that made the absolute best apple slices.
>>7603320
>apples slices
>definitely not red potatoes
>definitely not the best thing god created to pair with roasted/grilled meat
Leave, now. Unless you're trying to learn - then you should probably stay here for a long, long time.
>>7603334
Can't tell if you're too drunk to notice the trolling, or you're contributing to the trolling....
>>7603120
A steak a day keeps the doctor away?
Did I fuck that up? I don't know I'm not very healthy from eating too much fried apples
>>7603120
That one little vessel of fat and blood on the right pieces totally puts me off the whole plate t.b.h.
What temperature is it internally? Color is not a perfect indicator of doneness, temperature is.
Also why the fuck are you eating steak with pear slices
>>7603470
Those are probably potatoes mate.
>>7603470
>posts on /ck/
>has never seen a red skin potato
>thinks pears are cherry red
Why am I not shocked to see this shit?
>>7603482
>>7603472
Those are pears, my homies.
how are you idiots thinking that's medium rare? medium rare is red in the middle. that's past medium on it's way to well done. if I got my steak like that at a restaurant I'd send it back.
that's because you're mentally i'll anon
Why do you have apple slices beside your clumps of raw meat?
>>7603120
100% medium
>>7603631
You're 12 different kinds of retarded if you think that's approaching well done
>>7603631
>he can't see it's quite clearly red in the middle
medium rare
>>7603120
Brb
Gonna slice slice some apples
Its undercooked.
Is apple any good with steak? I may try this.
looks rare-med rare, even thought the top is well done
Medium rare. Shit sear though, get the pan hotter next time before putting the steak on.
Interesting choice to pair it with apples, OP. Recipe?
>>7603120
mmm OP
i want to make sweet love to that steak
Apples? Hmm, interesting. OP may be onto something.
Did you seriously cut some boiled apples for a side to your steak?
I'm LMAOing at your life
>>7603120
Looks more like med rare to me, though on the cusp of rare. Interesting pairing with apples though, it's typically a pork thing.
>>7603120
Looks closer to medium than medium rare to me.
Thumb test should settle it.
>>7603120
I would say that you have the full spectrum of well done to medium rare, the sign of a truly shit cook. Piss poor sear as well.
How did you get those two apple slices browned but keep the others raw?
>>7605121
Sorry tiny pic
>>7603120
I'd call that well done. Anything above that is burnt.
>>7605416
people like you are the worst
is red delicious a good choice for apple slices?
does it sear well?
>>7605131
this is just as retarded as that image of 6 steaks that are all raw and well done but labeled as everything in between
>>7603120
Med rare
>>7605509
>is red delicious a good choice
no
>>7603120
Closer to medium than medium rare. The apple slices are under done.
What kind of apples are best with steak?
>>7603120
Pretty good for four bucks
>>7605122
>Piss poor sear
i came to say this
its warm.
>>7605131
I tried this, what if I don't have red as fuck hands?
[spoiler]I'm white too[/spoiler]
>>7605509
Of the generic apples I'd say granny smith is the best. But once you get more interesting and unique like the kind you find in upstate NY you'll never want to go back
They're both rare.
While the left is more rare than the right, the right is still considered rare but with a heavy sear instead of a light one.
YOU'RE ALL FUCKING RETARDED
APPLES HAVE WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR TO RETAIN THEIR TEXTURE AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT SINCE IT BREAKS DOWN AND TURNS MUSHY
IF YOU ACTUALLY COOKED APPLE SLICES SIMILAR TO HOW THOSE POTATOES WERE COOKED YOU'D HAVE WEDGES THAT WERE MORE FLACCID THAN MY DICK AFTER WATCHING AN HOUR OF GAY PORN
THE STARCH IN POTATOES ALLOWS THEM TO MAINTAIN A FIRM SHAPE AND TEXTURE DESPITE BEING SAUTEED.
FUCK ALL OF YOU
>>7606468
You don't cook them through. You just brown the exterior.
>>7606481
learn the difference between caramelization and the maillard reaction
rare
>>7606468
>he doesn't starch his apples before cooking them
>>7603120
We cant actually tell unless we feel it OP... you dont just "look" at a steak to tell how cooked it is, you have to feel it.
>>7606087
What you are evaluating is the firmness of the muscle tissue, not the coloration of the skin.
>>7603120
Undercooked.
>>7607920
Does this work with apple slices too? I don't wanna end up with rare apples like OP
Is there red meat juice left on the plate from cutting it?
No.
Therefore it is overdone, in other words, medium or above.
>>7603120
It's actually rare.
>>7607969
Uhh.. ever heard of resting?
>>7607969
>this nigger savage doesn't rest his steaks
>>7603142
This
Cook your fucking meal you barbarian. No rawer than medium well is acceptable.
>>7607969
If a meat's juices aren't clear, it's undercooked.
>>7608023
If meat juices are clear then what good are they for dipping bread/fries in?
ITT: Fucking vegetarian wannabes arguing about what level of burnt offering they eat their meat at so they can pretend it wasn't an animal once.
>>7608042
ITT: Fucking animals arguing for what level of rawness they can get away with so they can pretend they tore it off the animal with their bare teeth.
>>7603134
I concur.
>>7603120
Who eats steak with apple slices you mongol?
>>7606468
Found the autistic
>>7603120
Holy shit those potatoes look god awful.
>>7609266
that's because they're seared apples you dumbo
>>7609275
Definitely horridly undercooked taters.
>>7609266
>red
>potatoes
??? It's caramelized apples or something. White flesh, red skin
>>7609297
I hope you're shitposting, but there is obviously people on this fucking COOKING BOARD that genuinely believe this shit. Kill yourselves, all of you. Ignorant fucks.
You lost the plot not getting your pan nice and hot kid.
Apple slices look good though.
Can't tell, not there to give it the knuckle test.
Do you even cook?
>all those faggots that call "slices" what are obviously "wedges"
GET OUT
>>7603120
it just looks right
>>7603120
I consider that "true medium," but what would typically be called medium rare.
At a reputable steakhouse, this would probably be called medium, but the run of the mill restaurant will give you this steak as a medium rare.
It's also possible it's somewhere in between, I reckon
>>7609314
>He thinks they're potatoes
>>7610841
/thread
Apples go great with a hot sausage, but I havent tried with a steak, thanks OP!
>>7609266
It's apples you dingus
>>7608008
enjoy your flavourless leather you pansy ass motherfucker
what oil do you use to sear apple wedges, /ck/?
That looks medium rare to me, what did you season those apples with?
>>7603120
Did you cook that in the microwave?
>>7603120
>apples with steak
Hmmmmmm......
>>7606493
What type of response was that, fagatron? I know the difference. That has nothing to do with it.
>>7613517
>apples
They're potato wedges you fucking idiot
>>7613517
Red waxy potatoes.
Are you simple?
>>7603120
Damn, seared red apple wedges and medium rare steak. Looks real tasty OP
Simple answer: Yes, that is a medium rare steak. I'd be happily surprised to get that at a chain restaurant.
The "doneness" of a steak is judged at its thickest part. Looking at your picture they did it right. The steak in not uniformly thick so one side will be medium and the edge will be medium well.
toasting in epic bread xd
>>7613755
FUJI OR GALA?!?!?!?!?!
BE QUICK MOTHERFUCKER
>>7603120
It's up to you you fucking cuck
Stop asking us how you like your steak
if you did that in a restaurant I would fucking hit you in the face
