Anything above medium is a waste of time and you may as well have ordered a burger.

that's one i did at home

Mediums always fine, very soft then but still cooked right.

Medium-Well but seeing as this poll does not allow anyone to choose that based on your ill informed opinion then I vote Medium.

Medium Rare every time

I like it still mooing in the middle

What a crap poll!  :wink:

Seriously though, you have to consider the cut of steak in question as well. IMHO, a fillet should be cooked rare (or maybe even the blue side of rare), whereas your run-of-the-mill rump is likely to be verging on the inedible if cooked rare.

One of the best steaks I've had is at the Westbrook, a little pub on the A3102 between Chav Town 1 (Melksham) and Chav Town 2 (Calne). Highly recommended.

Well done, especially if I'm in a nice restaurant.  Really fucks them off :D

Medium, or though occasionally very good steak can be very well done, for a bit of a charred outer, so long as it doesn't taste like leather.

If I were the chef I'd go down to McDonalds and back to serve you a Big Mac.

I'm tempted to send it back one day and say it needs another five minutes :D

A steak should be rare.

If you had left that steak in the picture to stand for a few minutes you wouldn't have the red and gray bits. Leave it for a couple of minutes on a plate and all the juices spread and settle so the whole insode is nicely pink.

Mmmmmmmmm.

Medium please. With ketchup, chips, onion rings, garlic bread and maybe some veg (for health purposes).

Like that ^^^^^^^^


But maybe a bit rarer than that though.

has to be medium - well.

can't eat it if it's pink in the middle.
unless she's still breathing of course.

if you had served me that in a resturant Scumfan i'd have complained. that is horrid

There needs to be juice though. I'm not saying blood, but juice.

yes i agree. but i really don't like cooked meat to be pink in the middle.

I'm an idiot.

the steak in the top picture looks raw in the middle.
i rarely eat steak as i had an awful one some years back at the running horse and it put me off, but when i do it has to be well done!
so i'm an idiot

Steak has to be "blue", so I voted rare although that is too well done for me  :D

I agree with OF that anyone having steak cooked beyond medium displays an amateurish approach to eating dead stuff. Having said that I wouldn't feed that vegetable accompaniment to my dog, and I've caught him with his face in my brother's cat's litter tray before now. Where's the chips? where's the onion rings? where's the mushrooms? Why are you eating of a granny plate? Did you wash it down with a glass of Lambrini?

Has to be medium rare, I'd have to agree that anyone who eats well done Steak is a fool. It removes all of the taste and succulence. You fools.

I'd agree with Spacey that chips are a must, and onion rings & mushrooms prefreble.  I'd argue that frying some red onion with the mushrooms is best.

I also tend to use some Steakhouse pepper seasoning to add some spice.

A nice glass of Rioja is the ideal drink to wash it down, failing that - cold lager.

Has to be rare for me. You can't have steak well done, it just ruins it. I like to see the juices run red, not blood though, when I cut into a steak.

Also needs to be served with chips/wedges, peas, onion rings, fried tomatoes, mushrooms and lashings of peppercorn sauce.

Or for when you're in a different mood, steak with melted blue cheese.

Yum. I think I'm going to eat a steak now.

Just wipe its arse and put it on my plate!

Rarer the better - Blue is the colour.

Medium.

Nice plate and doily set-up you've got there!

:-))(  Everyone knows that steak is proper man food and in no way at all gay.

Tofu, Homus, etc is gay. Steak is 100% hetro

And I don't disagree. It's the thread that's gay.

whats gay about it?

stop following me!

that particular picture is a few months ago when i was at home in oxford, which explains the lovely tablecloth. the food was all bought by my parents so i'd have eaten steak with beans if thats what they'd served, not one to turn down a free meal.

chips, mushrooms, onion rings, maybe even some shallots would go down lovely with a nice cut of beef. peppercorn or bernaise sauce please.

I think there's something ironic in what I've just done. Although due to not quite understanding what irony means I can't quite grasp it.

It's the irony that also makes it that little bit funnier.

Kudos to you  :D

I think jayohaitchenn was searching for gay dogging and finding that picture was just coincidence.

PS. I have never used the word Kudos before, so i'm quite chuffed with that too  8)

I don't think I've ever recieved any Kudos so it's mega happyness all around.

Medium/Rare - and left to stand after removal from steak pan

Accompanying the steak should be;

herds of chips
raw red onion salad (no tomatos)
Mustard (English)
Perhaps a pepper corn sauce as well or garlic butter, but mustard will suffice.
You are allowed tomato sauce, but only on the chips.

Got to be Blue if it's a decent sirloin.

Flash sealed on a red hot pan / hot plate and left for a few minutes after removing from the pan.

meat is murder

 8)

Medium. No sauce.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: owned.

well done

where does the stupid expression "owned" come from, and what does it mean?

It comes from Hacking.

Then nerdy gaming/forum (like us) types starting using it to be cool. Much like the language of l33t (leet) which was once used by hackers. Obviously if a thing got hacked it was 'owned', obviously this got stretched to anywhere on the net where you got one over the other person.

Of course it could just mean that the person is second hand?

you were pwned noob. All your base are belong to us.
