Having steak for tea. DH is having his steak well done, but I hate mine where it's so done that it becomes tough and chewy! Envy

How do you like yours?

Medium/Well as in pink but no blood.

SunshineOutdoors · 14/02/2020 19:14

Rare

@tillytoodles1 Me too! I can't eat it red/bloody.

How long do you cook yours for?

Medium rare

TheMemoryLingers · 14/02/2020 19:15

As rare as possible. I sear it on both sides and then switch the heat off, let it warm a little and that's it. In summer I often have steak tartare.

Blue...all the way. It’s the only thing I ever send back as it’s always overcooked when I’m in the UK especially...

loutypips · 14/02/2020 19:17

Rare! And I like dipping my chips in the liquid that comes out

SpottyShoeBow · 14/02/2020 19:19

Very rare. The only way.

SunshineOutdoors · 14/02/2020 19:20

1 minute on each side (thick fillet steak) then lots of peppercorn sauce.

HavelockVetinari · 14/02/2020 19:21

Rare, unless it's very high quality, in which case blue.

JWrecks · 14/02/2020 19:22

Nearly raw! Shine a torch on it and think about it really hard for a second, and it's done for me!

AmazingGreats · 14/02/2020 19:22

Medium

AmazingGreats · 14/02/2020 19:23

But not well done!

morrisseysquif · 14/02/2020 19:23

Pink inside, melt in the mouth, lots of bearnaise and rocket with skinny fries. That is my dinner tonight.

Rare or blue for preference, but some cuts I am grudgingly beginning to admit are fine medium rare.

Oil s and p both sides,heat pan up to smoking and sear, then let rest.

Aragog · 14/02/2020 19:26

I don't eat meat but DH and DD both like their steak rare. DD is particular likes hers only just cooked.

AgeLikeWine · 14/02/2020 19:30

Cut off its horns, wipe its arse and put it on my plate Grin.

Paddy1234 · 14/02/2020 19:30

If it's good quality - the rarer then better

helpfulperson · 14/02/2020 19:32

The rare side of medium rare generally but occasionally i do enjoy a slow cooked well done. It only gets tough if they try and do a well done too fast. Needs totally different cooking from a rare

formerbabe · 14/02/2020 19:32

Rare...I'd rather eat it blue than well done.

People who order steak well done don't understand food.

ginandgingers92 · 14/02/2020 19:32

Rare or blue if it's a decent cut 🤤

EmmiJay · 14/02/2020 19:33

Well done. I mean no blood or pink just NO.

shinynewapple2020 · 14/02/2020 19:33

Still on the cow / bull !!

Happiedays · 14/02/2020 19:33

Blue :) my husband is literally the best at cooking my steak exactly how I like it

Elouera · 14/02/2020 19:34

Growing up, I'd only ever had it black and as overcooked as the sole of a leather shoe!

I now like it medium, if not medium-rare.
