February 13, 201610 yr Haven't they done blind taste tests to show that medium rare is the best? Rare does not render the fat, and medium starts to cook the whatever out of the steak. I am thinking of trying to "dry age" some steaks, watched a few videos on how to do. Anyone done this?
February 13, 201610 yr A true medium is perfect for me. Medium well for a non grass fed beef burger and medium if it's a grass fed beef burger.
February 13, 201610 yr Medium rare for me. I don't even bother ordering a steak when I'm out unless it's at a legit steakhouse. Also, what's with you people and grilling it? To get a correct steak at home a cast iron pan better be involved.
February 13, 201610 yr I don't want it fetting second wind and walking off my plate or grill. It's dead, it won't. Don't cook the flavor and deliciousness out of it. Force yourself down the ladder until you get used to medium rare, you'll thank me later.
February 13, 201610 yr A true medium is perfect for me. Medium well for a non grass fed beef burger and medium if it's a grass fed beef burger. Just bought a grass fed beef. If you haven't eaten beef rasied this way, go to your bank get a loan and go buy one. Medium rare for me.
February 13, 201610 yr Key to great steak is a mere one flip on the grill, skillet....a splash of beer with a hint of garlic salt and cracked peppercorn. Medium rare is the only way to go in my book. Mrs C1 unfortunately commits the atrocity of medium/well like a few of you do! :no: Anything over medium should be placed on a bun and slathered with Heinz Ketchup. :lol2: And we love cooking mushrooms and onions in olive oil with garlic powder on the side... :thumb: A see steak on the menu for Valentines Day dinner!!!
February 13, 201610 yr It's dead, it won't. Don't cook the flavor and deliciousness out of it. Force yourself down the ladder until you get used to medium rare, you'll thank me later. I used to eat them pink all the time. I like them better well done.
February 14, 201610 yr My wife and I have a really hard time watching each other eat steak. She is disgusted by how mine looks (Med. Rare) and I am disgusted by watching her ruin a piece of meat (Well done). I have tried and tried to get her to try it medium or below and she cannot get past the look of the meat.
February 16, 201610 yr Just bought a grass fed beef. If you haven't eaten beef rasied this way, go to your bank get a loan and go buy one. Medium rare for me. My dad raise cattle and every year for Christmas his gift to us ( his 3 children) was 1/2 beef processing and all paid for. Best Christmas gift he could have given us. Meat bought in the grocery just isn't the same. Dad would grass feed them, but for a few months before he would take them off he would corn fed them, keep them up and carry them water to fatten them up.
February 16, 201610 yr Cooked medium, spiced with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. PERFECT.
