Blue Steak

[heatmeiser]

I used to know a vegan couple that every few months would go to a restaurant and order a blue steak each, then go back to being vegan - weirdos. If it's quality steak I'll happily eat it raw never mind blue.

Also got to love the ones that order their steak "cooked through, not well done or anything but no blood." The same kind of people that click their teeth and say 'Simples!' and think they're being witty.

See that deep fryer over there in the corner? How did that well done steak come out at the same time as the blue rare one?

(light dawns)

God'll get you for that monkey comment thing, though.

I don't believe in god I'll be sweet mate

30 secs on each side and warming down is hardly cooked

Medium rare yes but blue oh no

Depends on your definition of cooked. It certainly isn't raw, that for sure.

Any good?

Never had it

What's the texture like?

well done

I'm drooling here. Has to be medium rare for me.

Believe what you will. Good luck.

Had it blue, wasn't a fan. Medium rare for me, but can go for rare too.

Don't understand people who prefer it well done. From experience, it's usually people who haven't even tried it medium rare as they're scared of it for some reason.

Ribeye needs longer than other cuts in order to soften the fat. Fillet is the only one I'll eat blue.

Anything over medium and you might as well chuck it in the bin.

Check the method I suggested, gets past that. Only been doing it for 37 years....

Surprised tbh but I'll take your word for it.

If I was a chef I would refuse to cook a steak well done . You uncouth northern monkey

You are correct mate. If it's a proper posh gaff the chef will not cook a well done steak. This is normally outlined on the menu.

Has anyone ever had horse steak ?

A gang of us went to Belgium a few a years ago and a few of the lads had blue horse steaks. It didn't look too appetising from where I was sitting with the amount of blood on the plate !

I'm not getting this anti towards a well done steak... pardon the pun, but what's the beef with well done?
I've eaten in plenty of 'posh gaffs' over the years in many countries and never seen anything on a menu to suggest well done would not be cooked.

My brother in law is a chef ( not in a posh gaff ). He says that by cooking a steak to well done, the flavour gets cooked out of it, hence why some places not cooking it to well done.

One such place is - The Starr Inn, Herome, N.Yorks. They only have two options - rare, med rare.

Basically it's down to snobbery !

Fair enough mate.
I've had rare and medium rare, but prefer my meat bloodless - each to their own eh
