How do you eat your steak?

Depends on the cut...

This. It also depends on the quality of the meat, as in how well its marbled. I like rare, but many times medium rare is a bit better because it coooks more of the fat into the meat to improve flavor.

I dont think of prime rib as a 'steak', maybe that's just me. I also think if prime rib is not rare, its cooked wrong. Prime rib that's well done can turn an extremely tender cut of meat into shoe leather.

I just use some good lemon pepper on mine; put it on before grill and let it get all charred and sexy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

However I have recently acquired quite a taste for TGI Friday's Jack Daniel's sauce... D@mn that stuff is so good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

lol.....I use to be that way.....couple years back I use to eat it well done......dont know what happened

You developed a palette.

Anything over medium is definitely a waste of a good steak. I feel rare through medium can be variable depending on the steak. I know at my work the chefs weep for every steak order over medium and one of our servers will tell the guests "if you want beef jerkey, you can get it cheaper at the gas station".

hahaha nice.....I wish I could talk to my customers that way

Its a rather... straight up restaurant. Haha, I dunno how to describe it. lots of people say "hipster" or "modern". The servers talk to the guests by name though and don't put them up on a pedestal, so we get away with a lot of joking around with the customers and running our mouths a bit. But we've got great food so it's all good

I also like to think to myself that whenever the cooks get an order over medium, they cook it like a grade down anyways and just say its whatever they ordered. Since when does the customer have any clue what they ordered anyways?

Medium rare for most cuts. If the cut is too thick and it's cooked quite rare then I find myself almost feeling like throwing up..

Medium medium-rare

Typically order medium rare because by the time it gets out to me its medium. Cant frickin stand a well done steak.

Flavor aint there like it should
