The Steak Thread/How do you eat your steak?

Awesomepantsman

After noticing the phenomenon of seemingly random threads popping up around the General Chat, I realised that no one had created a thread for that thing. That you eat. Steak!
Forum, you should be ashamed of yourself, er, selves for not creating one sooner. Steak deserves... posts too!

So, how do you eat your steak?

I eat my steak with a steak knife and fork.

Oh yeah, you left 'medium' off the poll, as well as more adventurous options such as 'charcoal', 'still mooing', 'in a vampire (I can't spell)' and other things like that.

I don't eat steak. I roast the whole cow on a spit in a middle of the field and eat it like a kebab!

But I will cook the cow to a medium-rare nature.

I prefer my steaks completely dead.

Astro Gnocci

I like them still alive

With my mouth

No medium or medium well? I won't be coming back to your restaurant....

Oddly enough, my first thought was how I cut the steak. I usually cut with my right hand and eat with my left for no apparent reason.

I voted "I'm a vegetarian", but since I haven't always been I thought I'd answer for before.
I'd have red meat super-extra-burnt. If, when slicing it, you saw something that was pinkish or greyish instead of black, I wouldn't eat it. When I accidentally did, it would trigger my gag reflex (which is why I avoided doing so). I actually never ordered red meat in restaurants because they'd never cooked it enough, except stuff like fast-food burgers which were okay.
It might seem weird, but I did really like the taste, just couldn't eat it. Also I used to take enzymes and stuff so I could digest red meat, because otherwise I'd get sick.
It was somewhat better when ground (which I think is why fast food was okay. But maybe they just don't use real meat or something ).

I'm pescetarian, so I guess I'd be lying if I voted vegetarian.

PS. Steak and beer is the manliest meal to exist.

I guess if you want to vote at all you'd have to say it's an "improbable reason", then? Which, considering the improbability is only by the OP's standards, is probably the truth. Or we can try and get more options added (or maybe just change "I'm a vegetarian" to "my diet doesn't include steaks" or something to make it more open.

I prefer the term "Vegequarians"

Medium-Rare for steaks, though I love beef carpaccio which is raw beef dressed with lemon, olive oil and black pepper (plus some Parmesan cheese and capers)

There is nothing so amazingly mouth watering than a perfectly cooked medium-rare filet mignon. *sigh* When it is just ever so lightly charred on the outside, and when you cut it in half, there is a smooth stratification of pink on the edges to a hint of purple in the exact middle. And then you can cut it with a butter knife and it just melts in your mouth.

I love steak, I love it so much. But most steak is too hard to chew and gets caught in my throat, so I hardly ever order it anymore. However, I just happened to have had one tonight (I took my mom out for a late mother's day) and I had the best steak I have had in years, it was just about perfect. I treasure these rare moments.

I've never heard the term 'pescetarian', but I have a vegetarian friend who gets annoyed when people who call themselves vegetarian eat fish.

ALSO: Can someone please tell me how to edit a poll?

Medium.

VeronicanPlay

Nothing more vulgar than a steak that is pink inside, if it has to be done it has to be done well, just in my opinion

But I barely eat stake any more, most times it's been done so bad that it was like chewing rubber. So now I stick more with Chicken

GuruGuru214

That reminds me, I love London broil, which is basically an enormous steak that's just barely cooked enough to brown the outside and served in thin strips sliced against the grain.

Also, I can't stand grilled chicken. I don't know why, since I like chicken in just about any other form.

I lived on a beef farm all through my childhood/teens, and ate enough red meat in that time to last me the rest of my life.

The family used to have this thing called "meat night", where every 6-12 months we'd kill a cow for ourselves. It would go off to a guy a couple of farms away who'd carve it up, and then we'd get the meat back in plastic crates, which would be stacked up high all over the kitchen. Then the whole family would help to put the meat in freezer bags, label each bag with the cut, and pack it in the freezer. You'd know it was time for another "meat night" when you'd run out of T-bones and rump steak and were down to the scrappy, frosty bits of stew meat.

... I'm a vegetarian now.

PecanBlue

Oh wait I guess there is such a thing as fish steak so I guess I'll vote th-

Oh, no option for that either.

Avistew

Yeah, there are lots of steaks that aren't red meat (white meat, fish, non-meat) but due to the options, seems obvious what was meant was red meat (beef, bison, etc).
