[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] BTW I hate how some restaurants try to show how cool they are by undercooking everything, so like Rare is almost raw, [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] He's right, I like my steak medium, but to most places that means dripping blood, so I order medium well and get what should be medium.

Anyway...I order medium in a restaurant. However, when I cook at home I usually like it closer to the rare side, so I guess I'm going to switch to medium-rare for restaurants.

I have never had steak that was not well done. It just does not seem appealing to me, but maybe one day I'll try medium well. [/ QUOTE ] That day will be the most exciting day of your life.

Crappy places overcook. Go to a good steakhouse..start with Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail or Lump Crabmeat if available. Med rare Porter, baked, creamed spinach, nice bottle of cab sav (03 Silverado or 04 Mondavi, if special go Mondavi or Beringer's 97 Reserve)...finish with coffee and slice of cheesecake and take the best crap of your life in the morning. [/ QUOTE ] Give me a glass of whiskey, an 18oz tbone, and a pack of cigs instead.

Re: How do you order your steak?
I generally prefer medium rare to rare, but it depends on where I'm eating this steak.
If I'm ordering at a restaurant, I almost always will order it rare, because a restaurant is more often than naught going to overcook your steak, due to the whole busy kitchen atmosphere and negligent cooking, so I try to account for that in my order. I've been caught though... sometimes I've gotten steaks that are rare as hell... to the point where I can't eat it without sending it back.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, obviously most crappy places overcook, so then you get the places that like overcompensate to show they're not crappy by totally undercooking. WTF just cook it *right* it's a freaking steak it's not that hard. It makes it tricky to order cuz you either have to guess which way they error or you have to act like a douchebag to the waiter and be like "I want my steak medium rare, but if I order it like that is it gonna be overdone?" which only leads to problems.

Re: How do you order your steak?
I just order medium because I'm willing to eat steak in the medium-rare to medium-well range and ordering medium ensures I'll get something edible, whereas if I order medium-well it often comes burnt to a crisp and if I order medium-rare it often comes rare.

Re: How do you order your steak?
If its a nice restaurant, I go with rare. Otherwise medium rare.

[/ QUOTE ] The last time I ate at an Outback, I had to send my steak back twice for being well done when I wanted medium rare. It came back the third time at room temp on the outside, so I told the manager we wouldn't be paying for our meal.
