How do you order your steak?

Outback steaks are quite good for the price. People who say otherwise are dumb.

I've never understood all the Outback hate on this forum.

It came back the third time at room temp on the outside

The cook may as well have come out of the kitchen and slapped me in the face. Good enough reason not to want to go back, no?

mia,

If you go to a really nice steak place, try a rare steak. The texture is incredible.

I order well done because personally I don't like the disgusting metallic taste of blood ruining my steak. It's perfectly possible to brown steak all the way through without losing flavour/juiciness. The best steak I have had was served almost raw on a superheated stone slab so you can cook it how you want it at the table.

I see this nonsense a lot. Understand that at slaughter all blood is drained, what you see are protein colored juices, not blood.

Metallic taste? WTF?

Yeah, I've never tasted any sort of bloody/metallic taste.

I find it hard to believe that rare steak eaters do not find the taste metallic, esepcially when rare steaks leave a pool of 'bloody' liquid on the plate. Maybe my taste buds are fooked, but even before this thread started I would happily acknowledge most people have strong preferences for how they like to cook nature's greatest provided food.

Said "bloody liquid" is the best part--it's a natural flavorful liquid for your steak and an excellent topping for your baked potato.

"bloody" steak + horseradish = [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

No, your taste buds are being affected by your brain which sees what it incorrectly perceives as blood and reacts accordingly.

I cannot speak for all rare (often blue in my case) eaters but I suspect that most recognize the "bloody liquid" as simply the tasty juices of a piece of meat, which yes are ungodly good with baked potato (and butter).
