“Tony” steakhouses in NYC won’t cook one above a median, lol. If you insist they”ll butterfly it. Pretty well ruined.

I always order my steaks medium well because if they undercook it slightly, I can eat it medium. Ditto for overcooking a bit as I can handle well done. But my wife always orders steaks well done, and a few times the steaks have arrived shoe leather texture. Which made my wife extremely upset.

(incidentally, my wife is like most people who grew up in Britain...most of them order their steaks/meat well done.)
