    We have come to prefer buffalo over beef. All we can find in New England is ground but in Oregon we enjoy all cuts, medium rare if you please.

    Rare. Or as a friend calls it, medium raw. I'll ditto the filet and add a blue cheese or peppercorn crust.

    I can't vote, because as MarcE said "you don't have medium well". It should also have a good Cajun hotsauce or jalapeno sauce with it or maybe smothered in it.

    Rather than my first response, I should have said.....

    Rather than my first response, I should have said "Pittsburgh Style". True afficianado's will know exactly what I mean and how to cook it. I'm surprised at the amount of people who like it on the well or medium well side. The longer you cook beef the less juicy and tougher it becomes. Oh well, that's what makes horse races.

    Just hold the anchovies and I'll be right over too! I will never forget the look on the butchers face when I told him to double grind a whole beef tenderloin! He asked me if I was crazy!:D:D

    Rare! Ugh!
    I like mine well-done,not burned, and a light pink or brown in the center.

    Not like rare. When I cut my meat I don't want it to flinch.

    Y'all be sure to eat your steak before it clots.:D

    I love animals- especially when they're cooked medium rare (pink in the middle, but not bloody). :bbg:

    My theory is, if God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat!

    I really don't understand why people (including my dad) like to take a beautiful piece of meat and burn the living bejeezus out of it! I can't stand char.

    Because they don't know any better. My mom's the same way, has always liked her steaks cooked med. well. Don't think she's ever tried it medium. I grew up on med well steaks, until one time I accidentally ordered medium instead, and have loved it ever since. Depending on if the restaurant ages their steaks properly, I like mine done med rare. My bf's dad orders his the same way, med well. Bleah. :p I jibed him at dinner one night, told him what Gordon Ramsay had said on one episode, that cooking anything over medium is wasting the meat. He just gave me a blank look, LOL. Oh well, I tried. ;) I should've said, if you're gonna eat char, just skip the meat and eat a briquette, tastes the same, maybe a little lighter-fluidy :)

    I like a little char on the outside though--adds a little tanginess.

    Char is great if you get it Pittsburgh Style!. Only the epithelium is charred.....You ought to know that Pete, you're from PA!
