Blue Steak

[Tubey]

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

It's not blood.

The old footie special?

Bleu for me, but only at home or a good steak restaurant.....

Combination of a perfect steak and a good mustard. Heavenly!

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.

Nobody can complain about a bad well-done steak because it is their stupid fault for turning a quality piece of meat into leather.

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 !

This basically. When you cook it that far you're going to be tasting the grill and whatever fuel was used to cook the thing. Then you're going to give your jaw a workout for the next half hour trying to chew it.

Believe what you will. Good luck.

I believe in miracles

Any good?

Never had it

What's the texture like?

Nicer than blue waffles...

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.

Just poncey chefs being bells tbh. I'd never refuse to cook anything well done, the punter pays, it's their choice.

Steak ponces, the scourge of the modern world. You wouldn't be as fussy with chicken would you, just eat it you biffs.

Medium here.

Used to go out with a girl who's family all liked rare steaks and they used to seem genuinely offended when I asked for mine cooked a bit longer, accusing me of 'ruining' it. No, it's just how I like it you arseholes.

Get a load of this caveman

 

[Pootsy]

HAHAHA

I was thinking of a couple of Bleu Waffles to accompany the Bleu Steak too.

I don't know any chefs who moan about a well-done steak. It's ace, you just leave it on the back of the grill in the hotspot and forget about it while you go about cooking everything else.

Steak Tartar is the only time I can manage it less than rare.
