whats best well done, rare, very rare or blue when it comes to a good steak?

Question

Please quote your age against your choice...I want to see if there is a corralation between good taste and age (yes yes yes this is subjective research)

Answer 1

I like mine "à point" - that's French medium which is rarer than English medium.

The French ways of cooking are:
bleu (blue, raw)
saignant (bloody, more rare than English rare)
à point (French medium, English rare)
bien cuit (French well done, English medium)
comme un soulier (French ready for the bin, English well done, lit. "like a shoe")

...and I'm 53

Answer 2

Medium-rare for me everytime.

Browned on the outer yet still pinky-red with a bit of blood in the centre.

I've also found the best way of achieving this finish to a steak is by using a Gorgie Forman Grill!!!!!!

Answer 3

Is this a trick question? I like medium rare. I'm 32. What is a blue steak btw?

Answer 4

Well done or just below well done - I'm 35. My husband is 36 and would have medium to medium rare. We've got a 28 year old friend who has it blue!

Answer 5

I used to be a very rare, but since CJD have gone to rare if I know the restaurant or medium if not. 39
Too many cooks over cook now even if given the choice.

Answer 6

32 Medium rare

Answer 7

i used to like it medium rare until recently i perfer it a little closer to medium than rare. Age 22

Its not that i dont like the taste of a rarer steak i just dont like the rest of my meal to be swimming in blood juices

Answer 8

Medium rare - age 25

In response to someone who said most cooks will overcook their steaks - not in my experience. Most chefs I know will slightly undercook steaks so if it's not done enough they don't lose the whole steak which thye would if it was overdone (8 years restaurant experience)

Answer 9

Rare - bloody and cold in the middle. Aged 29.
