medium rare - yummmm.... (the carnivore in me is coming out :p)
I like my meat to be medium. I like many of you don't want it tough and dry but I don't want it to look like it was just butchered either.
It was only as an adult that I could even eat a steak. My mother liked it charred and well'done. And they were thin steaks. She didn't marionate or season. IT was like eating leather. Only when I grew up and saw other people eating them did I realize a steak could be juicy and not leathery. I like my steak blackend, well chicken, too, but I like it to be cooked medium well. Cook it well done and you lose some of the taste in my opinion.
