Another poll for the sake of it.

I like my meat a bit pink.

joshtp

Medrare seems popular!

it is the best though, cooked enough, but with a rouch of pink just to keep it juicy.

El Capitano

Yep, Medium Rare with garlic butter...

spongtastic

has to be rare.

I don't mind proper beef fillet raw with a bit of horse raddish either.

I go for it well done.

Trying to get a well done steak iin Switzerland is hard work, I nearly had to go in the kitchen and do it myself.

Affording a steak in switzerland requires a large bank loan! You must be loaded

I like med-rare but ask for rare as if I ask for med-rare it always comes back well done :?

snotty badger

My mates Dad asked them to cut off its horns, wipe its arse and show it to the pan..

I once heard a bloke when asked how he liked his steak done reply:
"just threaten it with a match"

I like mine rare but it depends on the standard of restaurant to how I will ask for it to be done.

this, some nice, geniuinely french resturants are into under doing everything, Its good, but does mean that for medrare you need to ask for med or even well done,

i once had a stunning (and expensive) meal in a nice resturant in London that was almost ruined by my medrare steak still being a living cow, with grass in its mouth... (not really but it was Very pink) i had to send it back for a a bit more pan time.

That was back in the day when I had money to burn. Plus it was countered by saving money by flying sleazyjet and staying in the Formula1 hotels.

I could've really gone lavish and ordered the horse steak, in the end I just nicked a bit of my mates to try.

blister pus

i like both equally but separately

Medium means different things to people. To me it is a hint of pink in the middle. To the person who cooked mine on Saturday night it meant waft itover a candle for 2 secs.

snotty badger

^ I've had that too- the meat was properly raw- got blood all over my chips

blu3cat

Blue, Blue, Blue....

But then I like sushi, Steak Tartare and other raw meat bits.

MacAndCheese

For me it has to leave blood on the plate or else it is over done, but I still like it to be browned on the outside, this is what I always call "rare". However the steak must be left to sit a room temperature before cooking or else you risk the middle being cold.

T bone or rib eye for me, medium rare with a bit of pepper, or braised steakwith lardons of bacon, garlic, button onions and red wine

kaytronika

Medium-rare.... I like some juice to mop up with my chips.

The mrs likes hers cooked to the point where a good vet would get it back on it's feet.

i never buy a steak in a restaurant, they are never done how i like them which is extra medium rare, well rested, served as an enormous portion with roasted onions.

nicklouse

Now, you see... I think you may have left the door wide open there.

Steak...

Smack it's ar$e and walk it past the radiator.

Mancunianfightingcat

Pink for me if its with chips, but if its going on a cold sarnie with horse radish, it needs to be done a touch more but still rare, I don't like blood on my bread. Mind you, if it's rested I can take it rarer. Had steak tartare once and the taste was beautiful, but the more I ate the more I thought about what I was eating, to the point were I stopped enjoying it.

Medium rare. With Diane sauce, with chips, washed down with a nice cold beer. Mouth wateringly good.

For the locas to Bolton/Blackburn area. The Toby does a banging steak, as does San Marinos on Belmont road

Raymondavalon

Rare to medium rate for sure, depending on the cut, i.e. Sirloin, T-Bone, Fillet or Rib Eye.
My steak must bleed when I stick my steak knife into it..
