How do you like your steak cooked? Well done or medium rare? I prefer it medium rare with a side dish of potato salad.

I also like my steak medium rare. Its not to chewy that way. I also like it with potatoes and a salad..


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

You're right, medium rare steaks are easy to chew. Potatoes and salads are some of the most popular side dishes to go with a steak. Thanks for your response.

Me, too! I love my steak or beef to be cooked rare. I will add veggies and baked potatoes with my meal. Before supper I drink water. And during my meal, I drink more water and some juice.

I would definitely have my steak or beef cooked rare. That is a lot better for me. I will add veggies and baked potatoes as well. Before supper I would drink some water. With my meal, I will drink more water or juice.


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

I know a few people that prefer their steaks rare too. I read an interesting article written by Chris MasterJohn about the health benefits of eating a rare steak. Here's the link if you'd like tho read it - http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/masterjohn2.html

I've never had water before having my meal but I'm definitely going to do so now. Thanks for sharing it with me and thank you for your response.

I like my steaks medium to medium well. I want the blood cooked out of the steak it can still be a little bit pink as long as I don't see any blood juice on my plate then it will be fine. I like hashbrowns as a side dish with my steaks.


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

This is exactly why I prefer my steak medium rare too, I don't care too much for the "blood juice" whenever I slice into my steak but I never complain if it does happen. I love hash browns and it's been so long since I've had any. You don't get them here in Sri lanka. Thank you for your reply.

I could never understand people's need for "medium rare" steak. It is meat that is just not done. Aren't you afraid of bacteria and such? Some people say that to have your meat well done means that the meat is tough. I say not if you cook it right.


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

I guess it has to do with the taste buds. I've never worried about bacteria and stuff like that. Thanks for your response.

I like my meat burnt:) But I also want it juicy so I'd say medium rare,no blood,with nice crust on the sides. Mashed potatoes or steak fries will go perfect with it


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

Good choice and I agree, the side dish of mashed potatoes/steak fries will go great with it too. Thanks for your response.

Hi serendib,
I too like my steak on the rare side. It is so moist and tender. Potato salad or a green salad goes with very nicely. I know somw people think about bacterias and such if the steak is rare. I don't like shoe leather, so I'll take mine rare. Thank you!


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

Hi,

You're right, a steak should be moist and tender and not tough like shoe leather. I guess that's the reason why most of us prefer to have our steak done rare or medium rare.I read an interesting article by Chris MasterJohn about the benefits of eating steak rare. Here's the link if you'd like to read it - http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/masterjohn2.html

Thank you for your reply.

Rare, as long as it is warm it is cooked enough. Along with mashed potatoes, corn and a pepsi.

I like my medium rare steak made that way too. I've never ordered corn with my steak but I'll definitely try it next time. Thank you for your response. Suranee

Any kind of meat that I eat has to be well done. Almost to the burnt stage. I don't want any type of blood running into my potatoes! I was at a restaurant years ago and ordered chicken strips from a well known establishment. When I took a bite of it there was this french dressing looking stuff. My mom thought maybe it was some kind of filling so I took another bite....oh my gosh...it was totally raw! How can you really "cook" chicken and serve it completely raw. Maybe that's where I stemmed my obsession with well done meats.


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

That's terrible. Chicken should be always well cooked through. Chicken is exposed to bacteria when half cooked unlike steak. I guess it has to do with the salmonella that's found in chicken. I hope you didn't get food poisoning. Thank you for your response.

Some where between medium rare and well done. I dont like it too pink, but I dont like it over done either. A little juicy and not too tough. I like mine with a salad, but could really eat anything with it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

I like the way you prefer your steak. I usually don't order a salad with my steak because if I do my stomach gets so full that I don't get to enjoy any other side dishes I've ordered. Thank you for your reply.

I like mine well done. Maybe and I mean maybe a little bit of pink. I just don't like the taste of it when there is red inside. I like a salad on the side with mine. and garlic toast.


myLot reputation of 95/100. serendib (725)   ranked 12 out of 281 in steak  3 months ago

There are some people who prefer there steak well done because they don't like the red/pink color or the red juices found on the steak when they slice into it. Garlic toast sounds good with steak. I'm going to order it the next time. Thanks for the tip and for your response.
