so?

make mine rare

cj, you'd be in heaven yesterday,
the rare peiece I had was like a butter in the mouth, just melted away!

I don't know if having a grandfather in the beef business has anything to do with it, but I've ALWAYS been grossed out by bloody beef. :(

When I was little (under 12), my father used to cringe when we'd go out and I'd order a filet - well done. :agrin: As I got older, I was able to tolerate a bit of pink - but NO red...ever!

And I'll ALWAYS order my burgers burned to a crisp, hehehe.

Peaches, that's the beauty of the "aged beef",
NO BLOOD!

try it ONCE medium rare and you'll never go back
;-)))

AirTran flies to Tampa....you buying the steak? :yowsa:

Though by the time I drive to the airport, go through all the security crap and hiking to the AirTran gate, I could probably DRIVE to Tampa faster.... B)

Peaches,
YES, Oprano is buying,
subject to MikeAI's approval, which I see no problems obtaining
;-)))

I want it rare ...
then I want to wear it's hide as a jacket, shoes and a nice belt

Rare as rare can be.... No sauces on it (especially not Ketchup...like to smack people that put crap on their steak...destroys a good piece of meat).. The redder the better

Raw....raw raw raw... Thats the old school spirit....

:agrin:

When I was a kid I liked it well done. Over time, I moved down the cooking time scale to medium rare but just can't seem to take that last step.

I guess I am a semi-sissy - Medium rare has great flavor :D

This thread is making me hungry.

Mike, you been to Charlie's yet? There's one in Tampa. Very good.

Medium Well.

But since I used to raise beef, There is a reason for it and
I wont ruin everyones love for rare, or medium rare by
telling you.

:)

you take a cast iron skillet.
you get it hot.
you sprinkle a little salt into it.
you take your perfectly marbled Rib Eye, New York, or T-Bone and..
you throw it in there just barely searing both sides.

once its warm in the middle, its done.

Damn I gotta have a steak now.

Heh. A lot of us are going to have steak tonight ;-)

not me...after 2 days of eating great,
I'll take a salad and call you in the morning
;-)))

I can eat it anywhere from medium rare to medium well ... my preference is medium rare.

BTW ... Serge, did you learn to construct polls from FOX news? :D

This is me exactly....my mom always ordered our steaks for us medium well and I've been working towards pinker steaks but medium rare is where I have to stop.

Actually the thing that got me to take the plunge from medium to medium rare was the BEST damned prime rib I'd ever had in my life and that was courtesy of the Sex Toy King when we visited Portland for an AWE a few years back. We're STILL talking about that prime rib Todd. I'm thinking it's worth a trip up to Portland just to have dinner and turn around to come back home to California. lol

And to think....I almost ordered a filet @ that restaurant....thank goodness the table (which included LadyLaw now that I think back...) talked me into trying the prime rib. YUM!

:rokk:

rare as can be
I'm paranoid of restaurant steaks due to having worked in them for so long, so order rare, but I love a damn good blue steak.......
when we used to riase our own cattle growing up, we would grind up the hamburger and a couple of us would sit around this big bowl full of raw hamburger and eat it with crackers...good stuff....

What the hell, I like well done, almost crispy :) I hate blood in steaks :)

hey, what's wrong with FOX?

they ARE my heros
;-)))

you are what you eat and.....being blood thirsty is GOOD for business!!!!

don't YOU see the correlation???????

I don't put sauce on mine unless it's bernaise (sp) - I do love a good bernaise (sp) on steak! And at Longhorn, I've started ordering blue cheese on top - very tasty!! :bjump:

I don't eat anything with a bone in it.

I don't eat anything that can bleed for 3 days and not die :rolleyes:

Definately medium rare. :okthumb:

Blue :)

Regards,

Lee

I like medium to medium-rare,

The better the quality of the meat, the rarer (is that a word?)

You want seafood, go to Florida....

You want soul food, go to Harlem...

You want Earth Food, go to Cali...

You want Chili... Go to Cinci.....

You want Pizza... go to New York...

But if you want steak....

You gotta come to Kansas City

They let you pick your own cow... Just like picking Lobster down at the seafood places....

:lol: :lol: :lol:

My buddy would say, "Rare, cause it's damned rare I ever get one."

I like mine properly aged, seared over a hot mesquite fire, and just short of mooing when I stick the fork in it. Sometimes, I don't even bother with the fork... :grrr:

Shula's in Miami does the same, you get to meet the meat
Ummm Yummy, one of the best meals I've ever had

Any of the Atlanta crowd remember the "Beef Cellar"?

I miss that place. They'd do that, bring out several large pieces of cow and let you have your pick. They'd slice it right there at the table so you were guaranteed to get exactly the thickness you wanted.

And they were open til like 6AM, and started serving breakfast items after midnight. You could get some hellacious steak 'n eggs on the way home from a night out.

OMG! I used to live in those crappy apartments off Copeland Rd. when I was a waitress and I can't tell you how many times I had eggs benedict at 3-4 AM at the Beef Cellar! :yowsa: That was when I was living with my soon be husband (and even sooner ex-husband) and we probably ate breakfast there more than at home.

There was a place over near the Brookwood Marta station. I'm trying to remember who I dated that took me there, so I can remember when...maybe 1987ish? They had glass refrigeration cases in the back with meats, veggies, etc. and then huge grills where you cooked your own. YUMMY!

And Bones was always another of my favorites for steak. And as far as seafood, nothing beats the fried lobster tail at Panos and Pauls! :inlove:

Dang - the burgers I grilled tonight looked pretty pitiful now that I've talked about all this great food. :cryin:

I know the place over by Brookwood, that was The Barbershop I believe. They had another location up around Peachtree Corners.

Bones has great meat, but for the overall carnivorous experience I prefer Chops or better yet the aforementioned Fogo de Chao.

Now if someone will just put some decent meat outside the perimeter so I dont have to go to Buckhead. Stoney River Lodge is about as good as it gets out here in the 'burbs...

You can beat the fried lobster tail by having a special meal cooked by Chef Paul back in his private dining area at 103 West....
