rare steaks are often sent back because people think they're eating rare at home when it's actually medium and then they get rare from a steakhouse and think it's raw
I kind of disregarded the op image since it's just a stock photo. the point still stands. steakhouses will always cook a little more done than rare because rare meat is a minefield of idiots returning their food because they didn't even know what they were asking for.
That is not what "rare" means though, which is probably the source of your confusion. What you are apparently wanting to order is a level commonly called "blue".
this anon gets it, there is a lot of difference between cold raw meat and this fine balance of heat tenderizing red mead does before actually changing color
I like my stakes blue like that. Went to a steakhouse once and ordered one, waiter looked pleasantly surprised. Still one of the best steaks I had that wasn't one of my own.
Restaurants are usually too pussy to cook to order when it's a request for rare.
I love over medium eggs and LITERALLY NO RESTAURANT can cook them properly.
If you go to a steakhouse and they don't cook your steak correctly you can absolutely ask for a refire. Being able to cook a steak to temp is one of the main things that they do. If they come back and tell you it is cooked the way you ordered it, 99.99999% of the time YOU are the one who is wrong.
I feel like noting that you posted the appropriate picture for the thing you want rather than, as is within conventions for Culinaly, the thing you mean to denigrate/ridicule/do see as lesser.
This. Med-rare done right is objectively the best but it's also still fine if they slightly over or undercook it a bit. The chef has to be a real fuckup for it to not at least be edible.
>all steaks start out raw (common) >least amount of steaks is ordered well done >therefore well done should be called rare >but a well done steak is rare because most cooks are hacks
It's called well done because it's fucked, so it's like a sarcastic well done.
"Oh well done, we-ell done" accompanied by slow-clapping, and then a fine for Gross Abuse of a Corpse.
Medium Well is meaningless horseshit, and it's fitting because you can serve a Well Done steak to these cunts and they'll eat it, or a Medium steak to these cunts and they'll eat it because anyone who orders medium well, all fifteen of them in the global population, is only ordering it because they don't want to look like a retard who orders Well Done, but they are a retard so they think Medium is erring on the side of bloody.
Speaking of which, why the fuck do these people think cows are just massive bloodbags where the blood doesn't travel through veins but seeps through the meat?
Medium, Medium Rare, and Rare are all perfectly acceptable.
Blue is "My Entire Personality Is That I Eat Blue Steak"
>Blue is "My Entire Personality Is That I Eat Blue Steak"
Sometimes you just feel like eating a bit of raw meat, Anon. It's like getting an appetizer of steak tartare. As long as that's not their default modus operandi, there's nothing off about it.
What's the point of ordering a thick piece of meat if you don't want it cooked through? Might as well have a tartare.
(Remove the egg, fuck their fancy photography bullshit.)
It's something you typically share between two to four people. If you can find that many people who will eat raw steak.
I will never order the lamb shank at a restaurant because my way of eating a lamb shank is to grab it by the bone and rip that fucker apart with my teeth. I eat every scrap of tendon, I suck out the marrow, I cleanse it of every bit of meat and wind up with a bunch of completely separated bones.
I also chew the crunchy ends off a chicken drumstick.
I go fucking caveman. Sometimes I'll even gnaw on the bone till it starts to fragment.
Luv me gristle, luv me fat, something about meat on the bone turns me into proto-man.
The most comfortable way to eat it is hunched over the plate. Especially plate on the floor, hunched over in squat.
God damn, that's the most primordial pleasure of eating right there.
You and I both. I did it at work once with some smoked turkey wings and got a few concerned looks.
Wait til you learn about the joy of pressure cooked ribs.
how the fuck do you make palatable non-raw/non-rare steak that actually melts in your mouth
only once did i make it proper and i beat the shit out of it with a hammer to a 1inch thin disk
literally unchewable from medium and awful tasting at rare
i use a whole stick of butter with herbs to get a fuckin smelly old boot to eat with my carbonara
pork is gazillion times easier fuck beef

You are but it's not your fault it's just the collective reactionary syndrome of being a long term Culinaly user. Often it's a useful defensive tactic to avoid the rampant conformity of normalfags to shitty things but sometimes it backfires causing you to reject simple and useful things just because some faggy youtuber made a video about it so you have to hate it because you hate the person doing the thing.

If the shoe fits my friend. Let me know if you want any more basic cooking tips, I've cooked a lot of steaks in my time so I can probably help even the most basic cooklet to make something passable.
>he wastes his time washing dishes or pressing a button on a dishwasher
couldn't be me I just throw them on the floor when I'm done and let my cleaner pick it up
>order well done steak >they serve you the toughest burned piece of shit
Stupid homosexual chefs taught me to never order the way I prefer it because they are to incompetent to prepare it that way. Im always going with medium or medium well. Not like its the way you ask for it anyways.
>Go to upscale steakhouse for the first time >Order steak rare >It was great, but not what I expected >Learn that I actually prefer medium rare for thick tender cuts. >Every place I've been to before was always over cooking my steaks.
I mean, I've actively avoided ordering steaks at most family restaurants because I knew it would be mediocre compared to what I could easily make at home, so it makes sense in hindsight.
I went to Wolfgang's and this is medium rare; is it or is it rare?
>spend more than $100 on a steak >still no way to know if they're fuckin cooking it correctly or not >still have no idea if I like are or medium rare more

Another one; rare looks medium rare, medium-rare looks medium, and medium already looks medium-well.
Autism. Just shut the fuck up and eat your slop goy

rare steak >>It arrives medium rare
Still a Win! Being too picky is stupid. If it's any range of pink or slightly pink even, but tender, still juicy, whatever. Only at a known trusted steakhouse do you get exactly what you most prefer.
More rare than that and it's still on the hoof.
This commercial sold so much mustard.
BUT OF COURSE
rare steaks are often sent back because people think they're eating rare at home when it's actually medium and then they get rare from a steakhouse and think it's raw
Ok, but the steak in OP photo is actually raw.
Rare is still cooked. That meat isn't red it's purple, and the texture of raw meat is obvious.
I kind of disregarded the op image since it's just a stock photo. the point still stands. steakhouses will always cook a little more done than rare because rare meat is a minefield of idiots returning their food because they didn't even know what they were asking for.
I think you might be colorblind, anon. You do understand that "Rare" means exactly what you just said, right? Seared, cool in the middle.
That is not what "rare" means though, which is probably the source of your confusion. What you are apparently wanting to order is a level commonly called "blue".
i like eating raw beef
>actually raw.
>it's totally cooked bro
if you serve me that thing we're gonna have a problem
>strawman
Just say you were wrong
only straw here is your dick you cocklet
No you're getting the fuck out in that case

Still retard
Cope
no OP's pic is cooked blue seared on the outside cool on the inside, but still cooked.

how do you fuck up spelling steak and then spell it correctly the second time
he upped the steaks
It doesn't help that my phone screen is utterly destroyed. I'm basically fighting it constantly. Autocorrect makes for a nice one-two punsch.

I had steak today, though it was only eye round. It was solid, I did it medium, i’d only wished i made it somehiw softer
>order medium rare steak
>it arrives anywhere between rare and medium
>Enjoy steak.
This. Med-rare done right is objectively the best but it's also still fine if they slightly over or undercook it a bit. The chef has to be a real fuckup for it to not at least be edible.
>order margarita and 6 oz steak
>gay waiter hits on me
leaf me alone u faget
you were asking for it by ordering a margarita
captcha: K0VAX0
what?? no!
This is why I aways order blue rare and scowl at the waitress so she doesn't ask me if I'm sure
That is dangerously undercooked OP. I am not going to risk my life trying to be a pretentious foodie.
this. if you eat that steak you might literally fucking die. its no joke.

Does this look like an entree to you?

>Big hunk of meat

>Several breadsticks and slices of bread
Just a light nibble before the main course, really...
it's a traditional european entree...
Right, as I was getting at: it's an entree, not an appetizer.
>not the default
to be fair I'd rip and tear into raw leg meat if it wasn't for the risk of foodborne illness

Steak is a trash prisoner food. Real men with refined tastes eat smoked brisket.
I fucking hate annoying homosexuals that get uppity about their steak being rare.

"nah bro I like it bloody!!"
uh oh! i cringed! cringe cringe! Cringeee cringa cringa cringe! cronge crange cringe! yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw

Even visual guides to doneness seem inconsistent; medium rare here looks more like almost medium.
For me it's medium well with a side of a1 or some hickory brown sugar sweet baby rays.
Another one; rare looks medium rare, medium-rare looks medium, and medium already looks medium-well.
Autism. Just shut the fuck up and eat your slop goy
The doneness was perfect and this is what I want In future steaks, so I want to know how I should be ordering
>tfw colorblind
>the middle three in bot images look the same

I just ate a whole sirloin and i bought on sale, how am i eating better than you?
Your picture / lightning quality is so fucked that I have to question if the steak doneness truly looks like what the picture shows.
Just come to my house Anon where every steak is rare, it'll make you appreciate steak houses more
I gave up making steaks a while ago, can't get it right, and I'm never gonna bother trying again
blue is hard to chew.

yes, that's the whole point

there are "people" who would not eat this beautiful steak, because it's "raw"
