Run it through a warm room screaming.

Seriously though, I love it very bloody, but charred on the outside (Chicago style, as someone mentioned).

It's funny - my father used to see how far he could push my love of rare steak - he would cook them less and less and less until I ate one that was, essentially raw ( I didn't like it that way, but it was a macho thing between me and the old man). After that, he has always grilled them for me to perfection (blood rare).

Rare to med. rare. I don't like it with steak sauce or ketchup - but a little good quality horseradish cream is mouthwatering.

Served with baby new potatoes; unpeeled, boiled, whole and dribbled with parsley butter; and fresh salad greens. A nice cabernet sauvignon or pinot noir to sip between mouthfuls adds extra pleasure to my palate

Waiter, plese take this lump of flesh and
BURN IT IN THE FIRES OF HELL!
And I'll have that with a green salad and a baked spud please.

I like mine blue Chicago after being marinated in red wine, a clove of garlic, and liberally covered with Montreal steak spice.
Add a baked potato with sour cream, some garlic bread, and whatever roasted vegetables strike my fancy that day and I'll be set.
And beer.
Lots and lots of beer.

They call it that all the way 'round the world?

Myself, it depends on the cut. Flavourless cuts like filet might as well be bleu. Nicer cuts like rib steaks need a little more cooking and the flavour peaks somewhere around medium rare.

Steak cravings are usually a hangover symptom for me - need some cholesterol to repair nervous system membranes - so I go the whole hog and make a Bearnaise.

Medium-rare for moi...with either Bearnaise or Mushroom sauce if available. Failing that, I've never been known to refuse a thick, tender Filet Mignon with garlic mushrooms, steamed broccoli, carrots, beans and creamy mached potatoes.

Medium rare.

I'm a canuck through and through, mate.
Nothing here compares to it, so I get it shipped to me along with some Clamato. Come to think of it, I'm overdue: I haven't had a Caesar since January.

If you're going whole HOG, you've got the wrong animal.

As for me, I'm a vegetarian and I've been one for almost twenty years. But it wasn't because I didn't like meat, so I voted medium rare.

My wife's normal response to the question "How would you like your steak cooked?" is to furrow her brow and repeat "...cooked?" in tones of confusion.

My preference: medium rare in a port and Stilton sauce with soft, buttered new potatoes. Mmmm...
