Rare, medium rare, well done or burnt?

I'm vegetarian so I don't really have a preference. When I used to eat meat, I'd only eat it well done.

Well I used to order just rare for it. I liked it pink and I didn't mind a little blood. The problem came in for some restaurants, at least around my area, rare meant raw in the center. No I don't like it raw and cold in the center. I now have to order it medium rare, it comes out a little bit more towards the pale pink but at least it's not raw. It still has the flavor I like and it's juicy which is important to me.

I am not a big fan of steak, but if i do eat it - it has to be very well done with garlic butter or gravy.

i used to like my steak being well done. but i found when i would make it this way or have someone else make it this way. that each time i would take a bite out of my steak that it would be so tough to eat. i find when you cook your steak well done it makes it tough to eat. recently, i like mine medium rare. i find it tastes better this way because i find it is easier to chew. but it also has a lot of flavor to it as well. i still do like a mix though.. i sometimes will like having my steaks medium rare. other times i will like them well done. but medium rare makes it so much tastier these days i find.. i don't have to worry about my meat being all to tough to eat. i don't no how anyone could eat a steak rare. but i guess we all have our preferences. i think i'd puke if i ate it this way though.

i like my steak medium well

oh boyy. I just had a center cut sirloin today.. ordered it medium rare.. everytime i order it, it comes out different *sigh* but i like mine very pink.. warm throughout.. and juicey! MmmmMMMm... Does anyone get weird looks when ordering 'rarer' stuff? I have an interesting story... My mom ordered steak once.. she wanted it rare.. each time they cooked it way too much. Finally they cooked one.. that was cooked briefly on one side. and not at all on the other side.. The waitress sat there and watched her eat it.. it was pretty funny. (My mom would eat meat completely raw)

at a restaurant i will ask for it medium well, just so i know its cooked enough. at home i cook it medium rare. im ok with a LITTLE blood.

Well i guess you would call it medium. Though, if i order it in a restaurant, I say to the waiter, "cook it just enough so its not pink" that way they no exactly what i want and can label it correctly.

Defiantly medium well for me especially in resturants because they always seem to either under cook it or burn it.

im not really a big time meat eater, but if i do eat a steak or whatever i like it well done. looking at allthat pink and blood and crap is actually really sick. i dont like to think of what i am eating as once alive, even thoughi kmnow it did, idont wanna think about it when i m eating it.

My favorite would be medium as when its medium rare it tastes a bit dry to me. Medium still has the chewyness, fat, and its moist so you dont take forever eating one bite. Burnt is bad as all you taste is burntness and its extremely dry. The healthiest would be well done cuz all the worms bacteria and other bad causes are gone but again it is dry.
