To not want DP to give the kids beef that is sitting in a puddle of blood??

[zephyrcat]

I know people cook beef to be pink in the middle, but I've just gone to look at the joint after dinner and it's sitting in a puddle of blood. Surely that's not good for them is it? He says it's fine because they had bits from the outside that are more cooked.

[gagarin]

yummy - that's how we eat ours.

If there is no blood whne you leave it to stand it means it is cooked right through and so dry your dcs would gag.

[BreeVanderCampLGJ]

Pass it over. Yummy.

[unknownrebelbang]

Just how I like it, tbh.

[zephyrcat]

Really? Do you give it to the children like that as well? Makes feel sick just thinking about them eating it!

[TrinityRhino]

gagarin, hardly

[tortoiseSHELL]

I would probably give them a bit more from the outside, but wouldn't worry too much. Rare is lovely!

[Bluestocking]

According to my parents, my favourite meal when I was two was steak tartare, and it doesn't seem to have done me any harm!

[twoGsinBuggerOff]

oh its way overcooked if theres no blood imo.

[Blandmum]

There is nothing harmful in it at all!

Right way to have it IMHO

[twinsetandpearls]

That it how we have it. I give dd an end bit that is not as rare.

[Jux]

Yum yum yum. DD loves it very rare, I love it blue, dh will only have it well done.

[BreeVanderCampLGJ]

I eat mine so blue, that my friend reckons that it is nothing a good vet couldn't get back up on its feet.

[theSuburbanDryad]

Om nom nom Bree!! When we go out for a meal, if I order steak I ask for it "Still mooing."



Mmm...delicious flesh...

[gagarin]

Rhino - I meant that when my lot were young they couldn't chew dry meat and couldn't swallow it either! So it used to sit in their mouths until they heaved it out...pleasant memeories.

[Bluestocking]

Me too ... just wipe the muck off and slap it onto the plate please.

[objectivity]

It is fine. Steak hache anyone?

[shinyshoes]

me and mine love it like this, pass it over here we'll it eat. My children have eaten it like that since they were little.

Yummers

[MrsGuyOfGisbourne]

i love it like this too, and feed it to the kids.
However I did have a steak tartare in France on hols this year (with a raw egg on top) and was ill for a day...

[expatinscotland]

boak.

i hate raw food like that and refuse to eat it or give it to my kids like that.

tastes like blood.

foul.

[TrinityRhino]

I'm with you expat

[bythepowerofgreyskull]

sounds delicious, the blood makes the most delicious gravy.

[Sawyer64]

If you take it out and its red when you cut it,try leaving it to stand for 10 minutes,as it still "cooks",and the muscle relaxes making it easier to carve.If its too red I sometimes "Zap" it in the microwave for 2 mins,doesn't affect the rareness too much,but turns the blood brown.

[bellavita]

That is how we eat ours.

[bubblagirl]

i eat mine like that beef is best i think eaten like that not to everyones tasdte at all but will do you know harm as can be eaten so rare

it is yummy hope you all manage to enjoy it

It's blood. It's partially raw. That might be right up some people's streets, but I find it absolutely revolting.

I hate the snobbery that's attached to eating raw meant. Anybody who can munch their way through raw meat feels as though they've passed some upper class gourmand's iniation.

REEE volting.
