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

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.

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.

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 Cheesy

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).

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