I like mine medium rare. I can't stand having a steak that's over cooked and all dried out. It would always make me cringe when someone would order a filet butterflied well done and smother it in steak sauce. But to each their own I suppose. So how do you like your steak cooked?

I LOVE STEAK, ecspecially on the grill. One of my summer favorites! I also like my steak medium rare. My sister in law likes hers with blood pouring right off from it, YUCK! My husband likes his black, YUCK! They both use steak sauce! I like mine medium rare, where you can actually taste the meat and its flavors and not have to use the sauce right?

I'm the same way. Gotta have a good balance. I don't want blood dripping off, but I don't like them black either.

I love my steak RARE, very rare. I love it bloody:P I cannot stand it over cooked, and I will always request a new steak if it is too overcooked for me. It is just juicier the rarer it is, and I enjoy the taste very much. I don't really enjoy steak sause either, it takes away from the good flavor of the steak itself.

I like to order it well done in a restaurant. That will ensure that it comes back to me medium well done, because they never can get it right. When I am home, I will cook it medium well done. I love it with a little steak sauce and onions. I especially love steak and lobster with a small baked potato or a small serving of rice and a salad on the side -- a very large salad mind you.

What is it with restaurants that they just can't seem to understand simple things like "medium"?I often joke that when I am rich I am going to order two steaks. They can take the first one & burn it to a crisp, but time it. Then cook the second one half as long as the first so I get my medium.

It depends slightly on the cut & how it's being prepared, but most of the time I like it bloody & rare. There's a line in a movie that I love that goes something like " I just want you to show it the oven, let it scream in terror & then bring it to me." That's pretty much how I like my steak.

I don't eat steak - I don't eat meat anymore. Steak was one of the last things I gave up though. I always got mine well done though - no pink.

I like mine well done, specially with the recent meat scare. Several of my friends recently were very sick with food poisoning, so I'm not taking any chances. I'll do everything possible not to be sick.

I like my steak cooked medium to well done. My husband has it medium rare and I could not eat it like that as it is not cooked enough for me.
