Get a crust on the outside and as legally rare as the restaurant can serve on the inside.

I Sou Vide steaks....can really control the temp. Then put a char on them with a torch.

We eat out fairly regularly and places like Outback, Chili’s, Ruby Tuesdays all have seemingly different ideas about what a medium steak is.

Some places it’s near rare and some it’s near burnt..............

Try béarnaise sauce on that Filet Mignon sometime. It will
knock your socks off.

I have a couple of issues with Trump: Gasohol, eminent domain, Johnson.

On a thread that has NOTHING to do with Trump or politics, the derpy TDS sufferers screech...

“But...but...TWUUUUMMMMMPPPP!!!”

Adios!

This is a better guide to restauranting because temperature matters little when you’re brought out a steak that was sitting under a heat lamp and slapped either on a cold plate (sacrilege) or sizzling iron.

My dad would cook a steak until it was very well done. One time when I was a kid, as we sat down for dinner, I went outside and grabbed his saw and gave it to him to cut his meat.

I like a rare steak with a nice char on the outside from the BBQ. My challenge is getting that nice char without over cooking and losing the rare quality inside. Does anyone have any suggestions on getting the perfect balance?

descriptions of doneness are pointless: show your server an image of what your steak should look like when it’s been sliced in half ... if the restaurant can’t manage to cook a steak to match the image, then find a different restaurant ...

Some are meant to follow the masses.

Unfortunately, the “m” is silent.

yep ... and show that image to your server and tell him/her THAT’S what your steak should look like inside when it’s served!

Cutting a steak or roast too early without letting it rest can have a lot to do with someone thinking a meat is underdone. Nothing like a red pool, which many think is blood, to turn people.

Some chefs use the portion of your hand below your thumb to test steak for doneness.
