Do people still order their steaks rare in restaurants today?

Question

With the possibility of acquiring diseases such as ecoli, do some folks still take this risk when they go out to eat? Just curious. Mooooooooooooo...hahaha.

Answer 1

You betcha!!! I tell them to cut off the horns and wipe its butt and throw it on the plate!!!

Answer 2

I work in a high class steak house, and you wouldn't believe how many people order their steaks rare - which in our restaurant means a cold, red center. Also, we serve Ahi tuna which is best rare. If the meat is handled and stored properly, from slaughter to plate, there should be no problem, but all menus in the States include the disclaimer that consuming rare or undercooked meats could pose a health risk

Answer 3

It's the way I like it, and if they won't do it I would not eat there. Any reputable restaurant should not have a problem. If they do, they are ordering bad grades of meat and should have their license violated. A place like Mcdonalds that uses a low grade of meat has to cook it well done, I've ordered rare burgers in steak houses with great satisfaction.

Answer 4

although rare is a common temp for educated steak lovers-many high end steakhouses use cetified angus beef-and also dry age the meat for optimum flavor,marbleing and texture.only medium rare will bring all those components to the palate-as cooking transfers this(heat)through the meat.you cant and wont get the same steak at home-and for SURE you wont get it on an outdoor grill which is not designed to cook steak properly.nor is the drunk guy with the apron on......outback is good..for a chain...mortons is world class.and new york has 40 top steakhouses....

Answer 5

*grins at you* Obviously. The Cult of Jehovah's Witnesses try to follow Judaic Dietary Laws concerning the eating of meat. Eating meat with the blood still in it is forbidden, because the blood of the being is what gives it life, and one who eats blood has been defiled and is guilty of bloodshed. What i do not understand, is why they follow this rule, generally yet not the other Judaic Laws concerning the prohibiting of eating meat that has been cooked in milk, or an animal that has been cooked in it's mothers milk; or even about "clean and unclean" animals. It seems silly to follow one dietary law under the presumption of scripture yet not follow the others. Curious indeed. But i am assuming it also would depend heavily on the individuals personal convictions. Sad to say most religious people (whether they are involved in a pseudo-christian cult or not) remain obedient to the Laws of their Faith when it is convenient for them only. Yet, when it is inconvenient and contradicts something that they desire, they find some excuse (usually a professed ignorance) wherewith to continue on in action. xoxo ♥ *knock knock* *who's there?* *a Jehovah's Witness ..." *a Jehovah's Witness who ..... oh! wait a minute!?* *click off the lights* ...... *whispers* nobody's home.

Answer 6

Of course people do. I work in the best steak house in San Francisco, and not only get rare steaks ordered all the time, but even "blue" steaks, which means cold in the center. We only serve prime beef, so it is never a problem. Heck we serve steak tartar, which is just ground filet mignon with spices, and it is served raw.

Answer 7

I know I do. Most of the time I order it extra rare because it usually comes out medium if I don't. A lot of places I have eaten at have a disclosure statement on the menu basically saying to eat at your own risk.

Answer 8

The best way to enjoy the flavor of a steak is to have it as rare as you can take it. You do not get e-coli from rare steaks. You get e-coli from rare hamburger meat, when the meat is ground up together with intestinal matter and not cooked thoroughly. Slaughterers of animals must learn to cut the meat to be ground up. It must not come in contact with intestinal matter.

Answer 9

In an average family-type or tavern/steakhouse-type restaurant, I order medium-rare.. in a high-end restaurant I will order 'bleu' (rare). Sadly, cooking steak or bison too much takes a lot of flavour and tenderness out of the meat.

Answer 10

I get mine cooked rare all the time. I was not aware of any other way to have one prepared (laughter). I could be wrong, but the more we eat things that put us at "risk", the stronger our body becomes to fight lots of germs. Point being - I always eat steak rare, and I am here to answer you. Regards.

Answer 11

I have my steak medium rare and not suffered from ecoli.

People who order their steak well done get what they deserve, a piece of leather - ignorance!
