It's fair to assume that a cook at Outback isn't as likely to have the same pride in his work and dedication to customer service as is a guy who's owned his own steakhouse for 20 years. It's a step above fast food, and a step below actual good restaurants.

Re: How do you order your steak?
wow, I was definitely expecting "medium" to be winning... I've always done medium because I thought it was standard and I have always enjoyed medium. Next time I'm going to try medium-rare and see if I'm missing out.

Re: How do you order your steak?
Reputable place (read: knows what medium rare is and what it looks like) : medium rare
Others: uhhh, no. I'm admittedly a steak snob. I either cook my steak or go to good reputable places. Notes: Well done means no pink whatsoever. This renders a steak too dry. What some described above is not broiling a steak. You're slowcooking or baking it. You don't get the awesome goodness of the slightly charred exterior of the steak that only comes from high heat. There is no blood in steaks. As said, it's protein-laden juices, that is easily absorbed with a piece of bread, or on potatoes.

[/ QUOTE ] This isnt really true, you can do a good well done steak on the broiler, and finish it off in the oven, or if you are really good, you can do it right on teh broiler. You usually dont want to cook a thick steak like this, but Ive had some really godo well-done and juicy steaks that were about a half inch. i also dont know what you guys are talking about, there is blood in steaks, although depending on certain factors (processing), that may be a lot or a little.

Re: How do you order your steak?
Yeah, I don't even order steak anymore if it's not a special place for steak cuz it's so easy to make great steak at home.
Hamburger is actually a trickier issue. I like my hamburgers rarer than my steak, somewhere in the rare - medium rare region, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, but I'm pretty scared of ordering them like that out. Even at better restaurants it's a little scary; you'd like to think that the fancy places have better food safety, but supposedly a lot of them are just awful.
