I like mine bleu myself.

And one of these days I'm gonna try steak tartare. I've just gotta find a decent French restaurant - and the money!

Also, personally I don't like to 'pollute' my steak with any sauces, the blood is all I need!

And what other food do you like to go with your steak? Baked potato with sour cream and butter for me!

Damn, now I'm hungry!

OK.. here's the deal... If I go to buy a nice steak dinner.. and I don't hear the cow screaming in the back ground.. it aint fresh enough...I want it bloody, and tender.. if I poke at it and it doesnt moo... it's over cooked... cut off the horns, skin it, drag it through the flames... done.. and so help me gawd.. if the waiter asks me if I want steak sauce.. that's when I get up and go home.. that is an insult.. if the resturant cant make a steak with out having to offer sauce.. I think i'll take my hard earned money elsewhere!!
As for sides... I like baked potatoes, and beer..lol.. a steak isnt a steak with out beer.
I hope that's not too harsh..hahaha (I'm EXTREMELY picky about my meat!)

Oh.. PS.. I voted Bleu.

I like my steak cooked. IOW, well done. If it's got any redness, it's still raw.

So am I. But before I was, I liked steak obscenely well done, so I voted for that.

I like it rare or Chicago (charred outside but blue inside).

Med. Rare. No sauces.

I like my steak as rare as they can't cook it.

Way back when, I made a living as a cook in several restaurants. I don't even want to guess how many steaks I've cooked.

IMHO, the best way to do a proper steak is medium rare. Charred on the outside and reddish-pink and juicy on the inside. Anything beyond that is a waste of perfectly good meat.

The best description of "rare" I've ever heard came back with an order one day...when asked how he wanted his steak cooked, the customer said "grab it by the horns, wipe it's ass, and drag it across the grill!"

Priceless.
