rare, medium rare. Rare is red, and medium rare is kinda red. the best is medium rare

Answer 7

I'm going to have to agree with Truth!  But if you want a little more cooked go with medium or meduim rare.  A well done steak loses most of the flavor of the meat and you're just tasting the seasoning and probably way too much steak sauce.

Rare= cool red center

Medium rare= warm red center

Medium= Pink with a touch of red

Medium well= brown with some pink

Well= all brown, no pink

Answer 9

Also add to the list "black and blue" also known as "pittsburgh style". It's put on a VERY hot pan, while the steak itself is still cold, and cooked for only a minute or two per side. The desired effect is that the outside of the steak is crisp and almost burned, but the center is still raw and cool.

That's about how i prefer a good cut. I like the flavors of the carmelization that comes from the good sear on the outside, but you can't beat the flavor of good rare beef.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're gonna order a steak well done, you might as well just order a hamburger. It defeats the purpose.
