I’m a 2, 4, B kinda guy myself.

If you eat your meat at anything more than medium (medium rare being best, thus the 2 for me) you are doing yourself a disservice. If it is quality steak, cooking all the flavor, juices and nutrients out of it is almost criminal; cuts like fajita meat (skirt steak) and beef tips are OK to go above medium, but only because they are usually marinated and/or cooked with vegetables so they keep some juices.

This I learned from working at a steakhouse which served Kobe as well as prime rib and other succulent meats. Most of them only need to be seared on both sides to seal the natural flavor of the meat inside; the best example is Kobe, which is usually prepared by first searing it, then slicing it, then chilling it; the result literally melts in your mouth, like velvet on the tongue. Delicious.

So yeah, ole C_O knows how to fry up some good eats.

Medium Rare should only have a small amount of blood, from the slightly warm center, mixed in with the grease from the meat, if cooked properly. Medium should have no blood at all, but a warm pink center. Again, if cooked properly. You should probably go with Medium.

Lots of people have sight-of-blood issues, don’t feel left out: a few of them actually passed out from seeing it on their plates, no lie. Everybody likes to eat, but nobody likes to think about where their food comes from, and when confronted with reality it is literally just too much for some.

AA, you might like to know that all the blood in an animal is drained away. The steak’s red juices are made up of water and myglobin. Put a blindfold on and enjoy medium rare without passing out!

From the Net:

“Raw steaks usually have a natural, blood-like liquid in their packaging. Although its red coloring looks a lot like blood, that liquid is not what it seems. Following is a transcript of the video.

“What’s that red juice that leaks from raw red meat? It’s a solution called “weep” or “purge.” It’s often mistaken for blood. But if that were true, most white meat would leak red, too. It’s actually a result of freezing the meat during transport. The juice is a mix of water and myoglobin. Myoglobin is a protein within the muscle.

“Most meat is made of 5% fat/carbs/minerals, 20% protein, and 75% water. When you freeze the meat, that water expands and turns into ice crystals. The crystals’ sharp edges rupture muscle cells. When the ice thaws, it carries some myoglobin with it. Myoglobin contains iron — that’s what gives red meat its color. It’s also what turns the water a “bloody” red.”

2 – 2 – A
growing up my father always cooked bloody red meat, he even ate the hamburger raw off the butcher paper; I’ve had the ‘tar-tar’ stuff of various animals but I think it still needs to have a little warmth and flamed in flavor.
Toast was always served burnt and smoking growing up but I attribute that to my mother and my current taste for light outside and soft inside.
Coffee black preferred but sometimes with a dash of eggnog in season, it’s mostly just a conveyance for the caffeine when my preference of double strong Irish tea is not available.

4-5 on the beef. 4 on the toast. Coffee black. But if the coffee is weak AF, then I’ll add cream and sugar just to be able to drink it. Once you’ve experienced sufficiently amounts of drinks in Europe, American stuff tastes like water. And I for one can never go back.

2, ’cause I like the blood, but not so much the purple chewyness of the meat. I can go 1 with tenderloin and three with ribeye. But 2 with sirloin, new york, and roast beef.

4 because it is called “toast.” Not “slightly warmed,” “warmed ’til dry,” or “Charred.” I could go 3 or 5…

And “A” because I learned to drink coffee at midnight watch in the Bering Sea. Ultimately, when you are pulled from your bunk to stand watch in freezing salt sleet for the next 4-5 hours, you don’t fuck around with creamers or sugar.

Depends on the cut

Filet = rare nothing else
Ribeye, medium usually winds up tasting the best because it allows the fat to render.

Perfect ribeye can only be achieved at home with a reverse sear, smoke at 225-250 until 120 degrees. Take off grill ice bath in a zip lock for 15 minutes, crank that grill up, sear the hell out of the outside. Then you have a perfectly charred ribeye with rendered delicious fat.

Or sous vide then sear
