If you ask my brother how he likes his steak he tells you to put a fence around it to keep it on the plate

[Crimso]

Medium rare to rare. Definitely don't enjoy a "well done" steak.
Rare, tender, full of flavour & juices.

Yep, a good vet should be able to get it on it's feet  .

I like mine rare to medium rare, the better the steak the rarer it should be.

A minimum of a inch and a quarter thick  , 250-280grm no more than 2 min per side turned only once and "rested"for another min , pink in the middle , to me its not the size of a steak but the quality, now if we're talking Roo fillet its another story  , 30 to 40 seconds a side turned only once ,rested for 1min and then sliced nice and thin ,almost bleeding in the middle , yum yum.

Why would people want it bleeding?? If I wanted that I'd throw the steak away and eat the blood pad from under it in the tray.

Steak needs to be cooked right thru.

At least this is better than the coffee thread.. There probably all vegos anyway..

[DAZnBEC]

Definately medium rare to medium. With a beer on the side.

I chose Blue, but it has to be good meat to have it blue.  I never order a blue steak in a restaurant if I have not eaten there before and know their quality.  Same with buying meat from a butcher, if I know them and their standard then a nice thick steak, basically seared each side with the middle at room (body?) temperature is simply the best way of eating it.  I must admit, I used to think any blood at all was bad but for best flavour blue is certainly the way to go.

I had that in Germany. A german BBQ would be strange . With no BBQ what do you have to stand around and talk sh*t

Sitella, a local winery in the Swan Valley do the best steak tartare I've ever had.  It's cute though when you place the order the waitress looks and informs you that it's raw.  I can only imagine how many have been sent back.

"gehaktuss'... = sounds like cactus... = what I reckon I'd feel like.

I love a rare steak or even better black and blue! Burnt on the outside and still kickin' on the inside ... got me salivating just thinking about it.

Cheers

Got to be deader than a dead thing on a dead day.......

Any trace of the red stuff, and it may as well be still alive.

[Kit_e_kat9]

Medium Well.  Not bleedy but still juicy.  Well coloured through out, with no redness to be seen.  Definitely not cremated, and definitely not Moo-ing!

Meat should be eaten cooked, not half cooked, quarter cooked and definitely not still mooing you wouldn't eat half cooked chicken so why would you eat half cooked meat. And yes you can still have a tender juicy well done steak if it is cooked properly.

[mr_cougar79]

I like my steaks medium well,Dont like crunchy steaks and certainly wouldnt be able to stomach blue steak :-(

[darren]

Perhaps this thread should include your favorite type of meat, just like the coffee thread

Here is a link to mine

Medium with either mushroom or pepper gravy. With chips on the side

Two totally different beasts mate!

There are no harmful bacteria in beef to upset your stomach.

Chicken and pork however must be well cooked or you will spend the night on the can!
