How does /r9k/ get their steaks done? I like mine well done because I don't like having blood in my food.
>>27492711
Between Medium rare and rare.
Medium, used to be well done, but medium actually tastes better.
There are more important things to get autistic about than steak.
Well done, anything else is disgusting.
>>27492711
There is no blood in a steak you fucking retard. Do you think muscles have blood vessels inside of them? No, muscles of a cow just happen to be red just as muscles of a chicken are pale tan and various fish are different colors. A rare steak is not bloody, it's just not ruined by heat.
People who order well done steak not only have bad taste, but they're also idiots for ordering something expensive and ruining it into what is essentially hamburger meat.
>>27492711
At a steakhouse I usually order rare, because most places tend to slightly overcook their steaks. Medium well is as done as I'm willing to go.
Additionally, there is no chef in the public eye that prefers anything more cooked than medium. 98% prefer medium rare or rare. This is not a coincidence, this is because to those with a honed palate, overcooking a steak is ridiculous. This is a fact agreed upon by the majority of informed society. This is equivalent to arguing with an Italian tailor about the quality of a Walmart shirt. You can prefer shit, but don't fucking believe for a second you're in good company for it.
Medium tastes best. Especially when you addketchup.

I like it rare for two reasons.
Number one I enjoy the taste, number two I am White.
>>27492711
You're a fucking idiot. Might as well eat ground beef so you don't waste a perfectly good cut of meat. That red juice that you see isn't blood. It's hemoglobin, which when exposed to air oxidizes and turns red. They drain out all the blood of the steak. Secondly, you're ruining the flavor and tenderness of the steak. You might as well eat a fucking hockey puck at that point. WAY TO FUCKING RUIN THE GREATEST FOOD KNOWN TO HUMANKIND.
Never go above medium rare
If you order your steak anything past medium rare I'd say you deserve a gassing but I guess we need people to scrub toilets and sweep the roads so I'll let you off.
>>27492711
>steak
I eat chicken because I'm not a faggot who tries to impress others. It's way better for you if you just eat chicken.
I like medium rare the best, but rare is good too. Anything less than medium rare is wrecking it, and blue rare just seems to raw for me, the texture is different.

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU KETCHUP-FAGS ARE THE WORST
Why the fuck do steak threads get so many replies?
I don't like steak, but it's hilarious because of how many faggots say, "Well you just haven't had MY steak" or some other such shit. Or they say, "Well, you should eat rare, or well done instead!"
Steak sucks dick, period. There is nothing appealing about it. It's one of the shittiest, most over-priced dishes ever.
Who /horseradishsauce/ here?
Tastes so fucking good with a steak.
>>27493205
because my opinion > your opinion faggot
>>27493150
Steak only has germs on the outside of the cut. As log as you sear the outside it is fine, they usually use very high heat sear for like 20-30s. This is also why ground beef should never be pink, because the whole thing is the outside of the steak
Medium rare with green pepper sauce is the fucking best.
>>27493208
you must never have had a good piece of steak then:)
>>27493226
does it taste like horses?
>>27493208
Something something opinions.Something something shit taste.
If you do not utter the word 'rare' at any point when the waitress asks you how you want your steak cooked you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Of course. Specifically, horse penis.

Not too bloody, but has plenty of flavor.
>>27493238

and only sometimes parasites inside
>>27492826
this is the only comment worth reading.
all chefs hate well done. if some cock orders that the kitchen and wait staff all laugh at them for being stupid. it also means the other people on your table have to wait unnecessarily long for their food while yours gets cremated.
oh you order well done and people dont laugh? yes they fucking do. no one likes you.
if you dont eat steak raw, you're a degenerate and not a robot
medium rare
only my grandmother orders well-done steak
why the fuck do so many people like their steak dry and flavorless?
chef here, i say enjoy your steak how you like it! i dont care if you drench it in ketchup or want it well done.
Who in their right mind would ever buy a steak? Ground beef and chicken breast have similair nutritional values and cost less.
I cook all my chicken and ground beef well done because otherwise we get sick.
Femanon here. I only fuck guys that eat their steak well done.

Medium rare if done right. I've only had a few really good steaks in my life.
Pork is the best meat. Steak is for cucks trying to falsely appear manly.
>>27492711

Blue Rare. its an acquired taste but man it is soo good.
tenderloin pleaseeee
>>27493659
Taste? Shit, why don't we all just eat nutrient paste?
Rare or Medium Rare are objectively the best ways to get your steak. You are a fucking child if you think it's "gross and bloody ://"
>hehehe im a grown manly man lumberjack full beard!! i only eat rare steak like a REAL man because thats what my grandpa did and thats what society wants me to do because im a REAL man
Kill yourself. Just do it. Buy a shotgun and shoot yourself in the head.

I eat medium rare steaks because anything more is tough, burnt, and tastes worse. You're the one trying to act manly by eating a flavorless, burnt piece of shit.

You're honestly very unintelligent if you don't think OP was being ironic when he said that.
Arguing about the proper way to cook a steak is one of the more autistic things /r9k/ does. Its like watching you all trying to act like how you think real people act and quite frankly it sickens me.
I always stay just at medium.

blood is literally made out of hemoglobin you stupid fucking idiot
>>27492933
>ketchup
literally, metaphorically and metaphysically kill yourself
>>27494817
But well done simply has less flavor and juicyness and is tougher.....
>>27492777
You might as well eat chicken and not waste your money.
Why the fuck would anyone enjoy anything before medium?
Go take a bite straight from a cow if you wanna feel like such a superior manly man. Absolutely disgusting.
Why even bother cooking it at all when 50%+ of the steak is gonna be raw.
>>27492711
I like blue rare if it's a tenderloin / filet mignon.
Regular rare if it's a sirloin.
Rare to mid-rare if it's a ribeye.
Mid-rare if it's a flank steak.

What other normie "memes" do you guys know of, that normies use to pretend like they're experts in that certain topic?
>>27495762
I do eat it raw sometimes -- tartare.
But just a little bit of cooking helps the seasoning come together and it develops a nice crust texture. If you eat your steak more than medium you might as well not eat steak.
>>27492711
My brother is an award-winning sommelier and the manager of a top-rated steak house. He told me that if a customer tried to order a steak well-done or a bottle of ketchup, that person would be asked to leave since it would be a terrible insult to their chef, and it's easier to get more customers than a good chef.
For the record, I eat my steaks blue. If you haven't tried raw meat (try kibbe; it's made with raw hamburger), I recommend you at least try it. Meat is sweet until you cook it, which carmelizes the sugars. I think you'll find raw meat is much tastier than cooked meat, and perfectly safe if you're eating quality meat from a butcher you trust, especially if it's served with spices which kill bacteria and parasites.
>>27492711

People will lose their mind over this on 4chan. Even if the guy is a reckless criminal theyre still going to sperg out about the trigger discipline.
>>27495868
Wow, that restaurant sounds fucking terrible. How are you going to have someone leave just because they wanted their steak well done? An insult to the chef? Bitch please, his money's good, let the man get his steak the way he wants.
medium is the best
>>27495903
Chefs are notoriously temperamental, and allowing a customer to insult the chef is likely to result in the chef walking out on the spot. A good chef is exceedingly rare. No quality restaurant would permit a customer to insult their chef. I'm guessing you eat at Olive Garden and Chuck E. Cheese. You'll just have to take my word on this.

Medium is the correct answer.
I like rare, if it's a quality steak.
>>27496021
What? Are you kidding me? Why would they give a shit? The trigger has a function you know. Guns arent just for posting pics on /k/. Some people use them.
>>27496088
You dont know shit about quality difference in steak, fucking snob.
Rare or medium rare, i like it when it's tender and juicy
>>27496112
Trigger discipline also has a function and that is to not fucking shoot yourself or someone else accidentally. If you are actually using the thing that's all the more reason for knowing what you're doing. There's a reason cops are the most effective gang on the streets and in part it's the fact that they actually have some basic knowledge of firearms and how they're used.
>>27495948
Worse, I eat bologna sandwiches. But I can see what you mean. Still, fuck these high and mighty chefs, it's like bitch you wear a poofy white hat, don't get big headed now.
>>27492711
I used to prefer it rare before studying microbiology.
Now I stay away from raw meat as much as possible but sometimes I give myself I treat 'cause yolo and shit.
>>27496023
You know, I used to be a cultureless barbarian like you until one day my brother, saying that it was an absolute travesty that his brother should be an utter clod, sat me down with a bunch of bottles of wine. One by one he gave me a glass of each and told me what to taste for, and suddenly the wine began coming alive for me. I could taste all the different notes in it which had simply not existed for me before.
If you'd ever had someone with genuine skill show you what to taste and how to taste, you'd hold a very different view.
And just incidentally, he's not a snob, either. He drinks $12 bottles of wine, and explained that there's virtually no difference in quality between a $12 bottle of wine and a $50 bottle of wine, but that the difference between an $8 and $12 bottle of wine is massive. And I've found it to be true. Until you start getting into wines in the hundreds of dollars, you can find budget wines just as good as the trendy ones for under $20.
(Pro tip: Iniskillin Late Autumn Riesling is the bomb.)

Thoughts on Gascony wine?
>>27496348
The reason wines in France are traditionally so good is two-fold: the type of soil and the depth of the taproots. Both of those advantages are beginning to disappear for two different reasons. First, places which have had wines which were traditionally mocked, like California, Ontario, and Australia, have now been growing long enough for their grapes to set down long tap-roots, greatly improving the quality of the grapes they use. Second, modern science is beginning to discover which substances from the soil provide which chemicals in the grape, allowing wine scientists (there is indeed such a thing) to artificially tweak what would otherwise be cheap wines into amazing wines.
I think you'll find that a lot of the French wines are overpriced; people buy them for their labels and reputations rather than flavour. In blind taste tests, they're starting to lose ground in competitions to the upstart growing regions. Something else my brother the sommelier explained to me.
>>27494669
>tfw you actually google "nutrient paste" because you're tired of regular foods consuming which gives you pleasure no more
>tfw it's not a real thing
>>27496474
Hence why I'm curious about Gascony. Supposedly they're $12 wines with Bordeaux quality.

I work for a fancy steakhouse. Like 50 dollars for the cheapest one we have. We will literally ban you for life if you attempt to order above medium. We recommend Medium Rare.
>>27496492
I have no idea. Try it yourself and find out. What you really want to avoid are the cheap wines with oily, resinous, and off flavours caused by tanins and poorly-controlled fermentation. A lot of it is going to come down to individual taste, too. Wines which I considered drinkable before my brother taught me how to taste (like Mateuse) are practically undrinkable for me now.
>>27496522
OK that's actually the right one, sorry. but I mean my point still stands. Steak is good shit, can't let these fuckers let a poor cow die for their shitty taste.

Maybe with a lite version for dieting and a sports version for more active people.
Basically the classic TV dinner with a little tweaking.

Who likes their chicken medium rare? It's pretty good desu
There is no blood in steak, that is just plasma that has retained some pigmentation. If there was blood in steak it would go bad before it even got to the kitchen.
Medium rare, in case the chef is an idiot. If it is a world class chef that knew their stuff then i'd order rare.
Anything above medium rare and you are just destroying the meat and all flavor.
>>27492711
I like my done medium cuz I like a little juice
>eating raw steak
enjoy your diseases
medium, but I'm not really a steak guy. I prefer pot roast or smoked beef, it's more tender and flavorful
>>27499372
Meat sources from a local farm, processed by a reputable and trustworthy butcher is no big risk, especially if spices are used. Many common spices are close to 100% effective against bacteria and parasites.
The real danger in raw meat comes from huge corporate farms and unethical meat processors who use "meat glue" (enzymes which cause meat pieces to fuse together) to take meat from many different animals -- sometimes *hundreds* of animals -- to create something that is indistinguishable from a steak sourced from a single animal. You eat a steak made from 150 cows and your chance of being exposed to dangerous bacteria or parasites or prions goes up exponentially.
>>27496734
smoking can be a form of cooking. also, they're drenched in salt, which kills a lot of bacteria and changes flavor, texture, moisture content, etc
>>27492711
I like rare steaks with lots of pepper. As for sauce, I'll take a naked steak but I like everything from A1 to ranch to honey.
But I don't really like steak as much as other things. It's just too much of one single flavor and texture that takes too long to eat. I'll usually go for a burger over steak when given the choice.
>>27499517
Smoking is not cooking. There's no Maillard reaction, no heat, none of the chemical changes associated with cooking. Smoking meat is an altogether different process than cooking. If we're defining "raw" as "not cooked," then smoked or dried or corned meats are raw.
