How do you like your sirloin streak cooked?

[DonkeyyDoo]

and WHY?

Why is this in aibu rather than chat?

Medium rare, on the rarer side. But cooked in a pan so hot that the outside is blackened.

I'd usually go for fillet though and have that rare to blue, but the outside still needs to be burnt (so far as possible).

H has to cook his steak separately to me as the weirdo likes the same level of rareness as me on the inside but with the outside barely cooked either?! That to me is what adds the flavour! His steak looks like old grey leather (he has his bacon the same 🤢).

Aldi does great steaks, better than Lidl and roughly the same price 🙂. Lidl aren't bad though.

Blue or rare (depends where I am eating it!). Topped with some garlicky crevettes.

If I had a choice I'd prefer filet or rib-eye though.

It's not blood.

Seared, raw in the middle, just like all steak - bleu they call it

And some fish. I love Tuna in a restaurant, usually in France or Spain, that take a chunk of tuna and wave it over the hot plate. I don't have the courage to cook it myself like this with the fish bought in a fishmongers, but in a good restaurant
. Same with salmon.
My favourite meal.

I grew up on well done dry chewy meat, rarely steak other than minute steak, unless my dad's mate who worked at Smithfield's had something 'on offer'.
I started working in restaurants firstly as a waitress at 15 then in the kitchens at 18 and learned to cook steak properly. I took my mum to the restaurant I worked in and we both had sirloin steak. She had hers well done I had mine rare, I persuaded her to try mine and she's never ordered a well done steak since! She tends to go med/rare but she kept saying she couldn't believe how soft and tasty it was, but she learned to cook from my gran who could create leather from anything

yes

Medium but high heat to have a char on the outside. But if it's a fillet, blue-rare with the same process but hotter & quicker. Imo sirloin doesn't work as well blue/rare, the flavour isn't as good down there.

Rare as can be because I don’t want to be eating it for hours.

with garlic mushrooms most importantly.

Absolutely love rare steak . I didn't think I would until my stepson introduced me to it in Spanish restaurant a few years back.Haven't looked back lol

Medium rare

Blue. Because I like it that way.

Just walk it through a warm kitchen.

That takes me back.

My dad used to say "wipe its arse and walk it through a warm kitchen."

Rare

That sounds amazing

Rare/blue, because that's how I personally like it.

I find it weird that some people get so worked up about how other people like their steak, though. I wouldn't ever want my steak well-done, but it's no skin off my nose if that's how someone else likes it.

Blue

Medium, I like it pink in the middle but not too red. If it’s well done it’s like an old shoe. MIL always eats it like that and last time we’re out for a meal her plate was sliding all over the table as she tried to cut through something a tough as a fire engine tyre. I changed DH from well done to medium. I have a friend who eats it blue but that’s a bit too raw for me.

The vegetarians are on a go-slow this week.

Where are my fellow meat-swervers?
It’s a Monday, shouldn’t we be lecturing the OP that we prefer our steak still attached to a happy cow living its best life? Mentioning carbon footprint and animal welfare?

Mumsnet is usually po-faced on a Monday morning.

Grilled with a knob of butter on it. Medium rare.

Rare, I hate tough overcooked Beef.
