This may be so but for some reason rare-raw beef is poison to me.

Of course, the ultimate in steak is Steak Tartare, no need to go out to an expensive restaurant to eat it. Simply have the butcher cut you a fine porterhouse steak, rinse it off quickly and dry, cut the meat from the bone, run through a meat grinder TWICE. Mound the ground meat in the center of a plate, surround with finely minced onion, finely chopped hard boiled egg, and capers.
To eat, use some party rye or pumpernickel bread, spread some of the gound steak on it add your choice of the onion, egg, and capers and enjoy.

Damn, now I'm hungry!!

My Ex and my kids all like it the same way - rare! (Alhough the kids will eat steak cooked *any* way, period.)


I like'em rare as they can get! Kill it, and drag it over a warm sidewalk! Aw hell, I'll just jump on the back a bite offf a hunk!

Course, my ex and I eat rare *hamburger* too - but we never feed that to any of the kids - ecoli is bad enough, but in a child...dear fuck it can be hell...deadly and painfull...

Now, I voted for Taretare(sp?) but I have never really tried it....I would like to, if I knew where to get it....and could afford it! Maybe I could make my own....made my own pemican once or twice....Gawd awfull stuff....but the ex keeps getting on me to make some more - she likes it - but that hard kidney fat smells like burning plastic when you are rendering it - for *days*! Tastes like eating beef flavored candle wax - with berries in it. But it'll keep you alive forerver....

Cremated through and through, with enough Lea and Perrin's to sink a battleship. <smacks lips>

And if you use a red wine marinade and cover the whole thing in peppercorns, I'll marry you.

My system at home:

1. Find a good porterhouse (not easy around here without paying an arm and a leg at a specialty store).
2. Powdered kosher salt and fresh ground pepper each side, add crushed garlic if I�m feeling ambitious.
3. Sear the outside on a cast iron skillet, but leave it RARE.
4. The wife gets the filet cut �cause that�s what she likes, and I eat the t-bone side.
5. Serve with some garlic bread and red wine.

Grilling is cool, too, but my grill just doesn�t get hot enough to char the outside while leaving the inside rare.

When I�m out to eat it varies, but whatever cut I choose I usually get it rare.

My wife never really liked steak since her mother always cooked them well. I took her to a top notch steak place once and suggested she get the filet cooked medium rare. It was like butter, and she's been hooked ever since.

Weather permitting, grilled medium rare. Always rib-eyes. Always sprinkled with onion salt, garlic and lemon pepper, and covered with your choice of BBQ sauce toward the end of the cooking. Also charcoal grill only, and apply the screen at the last instant before putting the steaks on for grilling, and spray the screen with cooking oil first.

Had an elk steak once at a friends house, (which I was seriously looking forward to) but the damn thing was so overcooked I couldn't even taste it. Pisser.

Tender and pink, no sauces please, but plenty of salt.

I personally think that steak (or any meat) is disgusting. But, when I have to eat it, I like it Well Done.

I feel like a big wuss, wanting my steak actually cooked all the way through
