How do you order your steak?

Good god, perfection.

I once accidently said "I only eat expensive steak" in front of my BF and sounded like a huge bitch, but it's not that far from the truth. Unless it's a high quality steak, I'd much rather order something else on the menu. I'm very picky about meat in general and regularly order things sans meat just because I generally think no meat > bad quality meat (grisly chicken, crappy shrimp, tough steak, etc)

FFK, do you think chain steaks are bad (e.g., Outback, Texas Roadhouse, etc.)? I agree that Sizzler and Steak & Ale are terrible, but I think Outback and particularly Texas Roadhouse burn a very nice steak. Of course they are better at a really nice steakhouse, but I think the chain steaks are really good too.

Maybe I have immature taste buds or something.

This is about what my steaks look like. Maybe a little rarer than this, but it's close.

I'm gonna cook a steak when I get home. Time to get my cast iron pan out.

My experience with both Outback and Longhorn (the two nicest restaurants within 30 miles of my home growing up) has been really good, and I wouldn't describe them as "expensive" steaks for sure. I just wouldn't ever order anything besides the filet.
