HOW do you EAT your MEAT?

I'm embarrassed to admit that I used to be a "medium well / well done" kinda guy, but in the decade I've spent in Buenos Aires I've developed a taste for red. I just cooked a beautiful sirloin steak and came to the realization that medium rare is now my favorite state of doneness-- I've met some people who only eat it blue rare, which is way too much for me.

Medium rare or GTFO. Anything more done is just incorrect.

Yeah, I used to have to eat at Chili's when we'd take the kids from my job at school for the blind there. If I got a steak there it was always medium. I'm not fucking with medium rare from Chili's.

rare: highly regarded place, cooking at home, dad 20 years ago
medium rare: places that look clean with plenty of money to sue them over
medium: I probably shouldn't be eating here, but their tap list is solid. dad now.

Here's my dinner. Ribeye cooked medium rare. Sauté broccoli and onion, and mashed potato. Delicious.

Tougher cuts more medium or even well done
The toughest shit- crock potted/14 hrs in a smoker, etc

i used to be a rare guy, but tend to go more medium rare these days. anything more is a waste of a good steak.

i'd give blue rare a shot if it was a really nice cut and i was in the mood.

also, fuck that dry aged shit. i went to david burke's, a highly regarded steakhouse in chicago who pride themselves on the dry aged process (and make you pay for it), and the steak wasn't that great considering.

I had a great dry aged ribeye, it is for refined palates. Try the sirloin at outback next time, spike.
