I'm not a huge fan of steak right now. However if I did eat steak I would want it blue rare. I like it very juicy and tender.
I also really like sashimi. Beef Sashimi is good too.

Well You are right! Everything in moderate amounts is good for you! Well almost everything. I've always really enjoyed Beef. Im really not a fan of white meat as its very dry. I don't like pork at all. I do enjoy bacon.. but other than that I strongly dislike pork products. I eat a lot of seafood though. I love Salmon. I also love Nigiri sushi. My favourite is Saba; which is spanish Mackeral. I also like toro; which is tuna belly.

Sashimi? hmmm...don't forget the wasabi.
According to the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA), contrary to common belief that red meat is feared as a risky food, beef is found to be very beneficial specially because it has high amounts of Carnosine which is very effient in tissue repair and cell-building. When Calcium is ingested, it remains dormant and un-absorbed unless high amounts of Carnosine are present in the body because Calcium "rides" on Carnosine to go to the bones where Calcium is needed.
The yellow, soft fat in beef is good cholesterol, proven to be beneficial as an emulsifier of the bad tri-glycerides that cause blood clots, and is known to be a powerful anti-aging food. The bad hard fat is usually found in pork.
Whether well-done or rare, beef is good.
Bon appetit.

Medium RAre is the only way to have a steak. Too me a well done steak is one I can't chew.

Amen, sister! When I was a kid and didn't know any better, I always ordered it well done. But now that I can appreciate the flavors and tenderness of beef, I will order it medium rare or medium at the most.
If you're eating well done steak, you are going to need a ton of steak sauce and/or gravy. Because all the natural flavor and juice has been cooked away. And then what is the point of eating steak?

Yes, a steak oozing with blood is disgusting. Not to mention unsanitary. I fully agree with you.

I prefer my steak just alittle past medium. My husband eats his rare. I cant stand all that blood running out though. If you cook a steak to long it seems to get tough.

I like mine medium well... it's cooked but it's not as dry. It's still tender and juicy.

I have to have my steak well done or i won't eat it. I can't eat it if it is still pink. The thought of this makes me sick. Yes it does taste heaps better. These days when you go out and order a steak, they are ususally still pink. You have to make sure you ask for it to be really well done or it come to you still bleeding or pink.

I love my steak to be medium done. I won't eat those steak that are well done as it is just too dry and hard. Further, over cook meat is no good for health.
Medium to medium well done is just right with enough Moise and juice.
However it is not encourage to eat too much of uncook meat due to high lever of bacteria.
For those who fancy Japanese food, do try their lightly grill beef. Is like 10% cook and it really taste Good.
