Title: How do you like your meat?
Post by: Aramatheis on May 21, 2011, 10:35:21 PM
Pretty simple. How do you like your meat to be cooked?

Personally, I like Medium Well. I'm definitely not a fan of pink in the middle of my steak (but I won't make a fuss if there is a little bit).

Medium rare for steak, medium/medium-well for burgers, and medium well for tuna steaks. Say what you will about the tuna, if I want sushi I'll order sushi.

WTF is blue rare?

Seared, Blue rare or very rare — Cooked very quickly; the outside is seared, but the inside is usually cool and barely cooked. The steak will be red on the inside and barely warmed. Sometimes asked for as "blood rare" or "bloody as hell". In the United States, this is also sometimes referred to as 'Black and Blue' or 'Pittsburgh Rare'. It is common for chefs to place the steak in an oven to warm the inside of the steak. This method generally means 'blue' steaks take longer to prepare than any other steak degree, as these require additional warming time prior to cooking.

Actually, "black and blue" and "Pittsburgh" refer to a steak that is charred on the outside but blue in the middle.


For me, wipe its ass, shave off its horns, and walk it through the kitchen.

Well, it doesn't take a 10+ year chef to correct a vegetarian about meat.

I just copied the wiki stuff, I had never heard of half of this stuff and I've never had steak.

This was posted in the last thread. I think it's a good guide.

I get medium rare.
Title: Re: How do you like your meat?
Post by: lonestar on May 21, 2011, 11:39:46 PM
Just asked my boss. and he agreed, also adding that the "blue" should be spelt "bleu", the french word for rare.

The above diagram is pretty good, though my mediums are a touch rarer than that.

Medium Well is the only way I'll ever eat a cow. I appreciate the brutality of it being bloody, but I need my food to be thoroughly cooked. It's more of a mental block.

Awesome, I did not know that.  I thought that it was called "blue" because it's still cool, and the color blue is often associated with coolness (just as red is associated with heat).

That's probably why the French use that term for rare; bleu is French for the color blue.

And btw they also use the term "saignant" for rare, as it is their term for bloody.

Rare for me. I've tried "Beef Sashimi" once.. but I don't know if it actually calls for being "Blue Rare" though it was pretty tasty and completely raw. I don't trust cooking the meat Rare at home myself.. so I have it medium rare.. but if I have steak at a restaurant then I order rare.

That's right. I think in France they say ''bleu'', but here in Quebec we say ''saignant''.

For me, it's mostly about the texture.  I like meat toward the rare side because it tends to lose flavor and get dried out as it's cooked, but it has to be cooked enough to have that "cooked" texture to it.  If it's still raw in the middle, it's still kinda chewy and stringy, which I don't like.  Obviously there are some cuts of meat that are really tender regardless, but I'm talking about a sirloin, ribeye or other everyday steak, not freakin' filet mignon.

If I cut into it and find I have to saw through it while holding it down with my fork, it's not cooked enough.
