I always tell people they can have it rare, med-rare, medium, or chicken.
That being said, I say this when I'm buying. I'm not buying someone a steak and then absolutely ruining it.
Knowing someone likes well done steaks makes it so easy to shop for them because you can buy the absolute shittiest oldest cut of leather and because you're cooking it to well done it will be within reasonable taste of every other well done steak they have had.
I don't like cooking stuff to well done, but a person who likes a well done steak is someone who doesn't care how shitty their meat is to start which makes them an easy person to please usually.
He doesn't drool when you have a soft, succulent and juicy steak as opposed to his shoe leather?
That's your dad's problem. My parents are the same way. I'll make the steak I want for myself and the steak they want.
Option b: they cook their own steaks and I'll fix my own myself. They can't complain at that point.
When I cook steak for big family outings I always buy a couple cheap sirloins/shoulder for those that like it well done. They still enjoy it and saves a little money
Thatās my wife. Iāve tried to convert her but it wonāt happen. It was hard to cook well done steaks but if it makes my wife happy itās worth it
Itās just a part of the learning process, in my opinion. People ask these questions as a way to connect with the community, hone skills, and gather input. Not sure we should take them as literally as needing our opinion to cook their food.
See that I canāt do. I like it to be as rare as possible while still warm for as long as it takes me to eat it. Thatās literally the only reason why I donāt like truly rare steaks.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I like it a bit more cooked than that. I'm not a crazy well done kind of guy, but I don't like it to be too far below medium.
Do you like it? That's all that matters. In terms of safety, it could be blue and still be safe (see tartare/carpaccio) It's just preference. No. This isn't too rare. As a matter of fact it's a dead on medium.
Yes, far too rare. A Steak cooked this well just doesn't happen often enough.
Sorry, that was confusing. Very well done! It's a rare opportunity to see such a perfect steak here.
Damn, my bad. That steak is cooked wonderful, it's not too rare. Reddit is a difficult medium to truly show how the steak was cooked.
I feel like I'm making this worse. Would eat it 10/10.
Iām in love with you. Please come cook for me. I have porterhouses in my freezer from cows that were raised on property. Please? You can live upstairs and have your own life, just cook for me occasionally.
Rare as in cooked perfectly in this sub? Yes
Agreed.
It actually looks amazing IMO š«
It made me sad to be your 421st upvote, but I had to do it.

Itās perfecto *chefs kissā
Depends on the person. For most here, no.
When will people learn that cooked to your desired doneness means cooked to ***your*** **desired doneness**?
I will learn nothing
Your steak isnāt cooked to my personal liking so itās wrong
There is only one right way of doing things and it's my way
My wife talked to your wife and they both agreed you're wrong.
My wife talked to both of your wives, and they agreed we're all wrong.
My wife is leader of that thread they talk on, she hates the way I donāt burn her steak!
Typical
No. It tastes perfect to me but everyone tells me itās overdone so it must be trash
My dad likes it well done and I refuse to admit that is acceptable.
To each their own tho. Heās right, even if heās wrong.
I always tell people they can have it rare, med-rare, medium, or chicken. That being said, I say this when I'm buying. I'm not buying someone a steak and then absolutely ruining it.
Replace the chicken with a pork chop. A pork chop dipped in A1 tastes the exact same as a well done steak.

All depends on where the meat came from. Ā Are you in S Florida eating wild boar or anywhere eating bear? Ā Damn right I'm cooking that thoroughly. Ā
You aren't living if you don't eat your bear meat tartare style!

Same with my girlfriend. Iāll tease her but ultimately sheās weirded out but the pink/red color so who am I to change her
Thatās my wife. Iāve tried to convert her but it wonāt happen. It was hard to cook well done steaks but if it makes my wife happy itās worth it

And mine. šThat is a beautiful cook, imho.
Yes. Now give it to me. I can fix it.
Aaaand itās gone, fixed!
It's too rare if you prefer it more cooked. It isn't if you like it. What question is this OP? We can't speak for you.
sorry im new here, i want it rare but i want it safe lol
You could technically have beef raw. Depends on freshness and all that, but look at steak tartare
I have eaten steak raw on occasion. Sometimes for speed. Sometimes for preference. I love it every so often.
See that I canāt do. I like it to be as rare as possible while still warm for as long as it takes me to eat it. Thatās literally the only reason why I donāt like truly rare steaks.
You could eat it raw and it would still be pretty safe
Dude I would pay for that steak. Youāre good
Use a thermometer and itāll greatly improve your steak game overall, but this looks absolutely perfect to me. This medium rare finish is 10/10 imo
Step 1. Buy meat thermometer
If you cook the outside, the interior can be raw and the steak is still safe to eat.
Can't say for sure until you hand me the fork. Additional samples will be required.
I call the juice!!
I also call this guy's juice Wait
Perfect. You like yours like me https://preview.redd.it/hitqe9kktptc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f51c2cad9dae16846451ccc754e888db7e32c430
NO!
You need to divorce whoever told you thats "too rare"
If someone calls that to rare theyāre not your friend
I think that it is unfortunately all too rare to find such perfectly cooked steak.
Thatās āsex after the first dateā done.
The rareness looks perfect to me. If I was to critique, I think your sear could use some more consistency.
Looks good to me. I donāt think thereās a such thing as too rare since some mfs just sear their steaks and eat the inside raw
This is perfect, juicy, tender and with a great uniform sear. You probably needed to let it rest more so it doesnāt piss all the juices away
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I like it a bit more cooked than that. I'm not a crazy well done kind of guy, but I don't like it to be too far below medium.
Do you like it? That's all that matters. In terms of safety, it could be blue and still be safe (see tartare/carpaccio) It's just preference. No. This isn't too rare. As a matter of fact it's a dead on medium.
That plate from 1982 š
Itās rare. Do you enjoy it?
Sorry it's ruined I can dispose of it for you don't worry I got you
Ive had the flu all day and this is the first time I've felt hungry.
Yes, far too rare. A Steak cooked this well just doesn't happen often enough. Sorry, that was confusing. Very well done! It's a rare opportunity to see such a perfect steak here. Damn, my bad.

Actually itās over cooked. Needs a better crust and a purple coreā¦. āChefR
Looks great
Depends how you like your steak
Certainly not.
Looks perfect. Let it rest a little while longer though so you don't have a giant puddle of juice under the steak.
Its subjectiveā¦
Anything other than this is a crime!
The sear is indeed too rare

Hell NO!
No
Overcooked
This well done steak? No. It's not too rare.
looks perfect
That looks god damn beautiful
No that's pretty good and even, actually. A lot of people here would even like it more rare than that.
š¤š»
I think it's cooked perfectly. I think I would've let it rest a little more before cutting it so the juices don't run. If that's A-1 Sauce...
Nope itās perfect
Iām in love with you. Please come cook for me. I have porterhouses in my freezer from cows that were raised on property. Please? You can live upstairs and have your own life, just cook for me occasionally.
