How well done do you like your steaks ?

[Hector]

Man, that's making me hungry, Hec !!!!!!!

All I had tonight was 2 cans of tomato soup and an egg salad sandwich --- yuck

Hey, I dig tomato soup and egg salad.

I'd happily trade them for your steak sandwiches

Hector really likes steak. But yeah, that pic pretty much shows how I like my steak. Rare to medium rare, nice and red and bloody, and seared on the outside.

Not really surprising, as I'm a raw meat kind of guy. I love sashimi, and some raw beef dishes you can get at some Korean restaurants. I'm still trying to track down a restaurant in Japan that specializes in raw chicken sashimi, they do exist though (it's only at a place like this where I would trust the chicken to be safe enough to eat raw)

A few years ago while I was in Maui I found a little Laotian restaurant that had unreal steak tartar (laub) that they served with green papaya salad and sticky rice. Bet you would have loved it! I know I did!

Killer pics Hec! Looking forward to seeing the recipe!

I prefer my steak sandwiches on a French/Italian bread roll (like a batard, sourdough, or ciabatta)...but I was out...so I had to use white bread.

Man, talking about Asian cuisine...

Have you ever tried a Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwich?



Awesome stuff...a combination of French and Vietnamese...delicious stuff.

BTW, great thread, Mike...one of your best!

[huedell]

I like any food thread!!!!

I haven't had one in years. When I lived in Nashville you could find them in most all of the Asian grocery stores. Good stuff!

Back to the topic,I've got have mine medium rare. Always have,always will. Cannot stand a well done steak. Half of the time they are just too tough. You're better off throwing them in the middle of the road and have a truck run them over.

I want the blood to leak from it when I cut it

[The Bat]

Medium rare...or rare!

[Mikey]

This reminds me of something I seen on TV a while ago.

Apparently the new trend for rich meat eaters is to let the fresh cut steak ROT for about a month unfridgerated before it's cooked.

After it's done "aging" ... they even have to cut off the really nasty rotting parts.

I heard some fancy restaurants do this and charge $100.00+ dollars a steak.

Sounds pretty disgusting, if you ask me.

No getting up and walking off the table for me thanks.
