How do you like your steak?

[Gael]

Assuming you like steak that is!

 

[Mrs. Robinson]

Medium rare. Although dh likes his more rare and he`s starting to convert me. But if it`s a filet,I`d still rather have it medium rare.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I like Rib-Eye steaks, medium-rare. Hubby makes them to die for on the charcoal barbeque.

 

[Falcon]

BLACK on the outside and a rather reddish-pink inside and it better be a boneless rib-eye.

And sitting beside it on the plate, a baked potato, split open with gobs of butter, sour cream and chives.

All washed down with a cold Coors lite.

 

[Vivjen]

Medium rare please...

I had Rump steak ( called sirloin in the USA) .. this evening for dinner as it happens...Medium rare, as always with flash fried mushrooms and rocket salad

Incidentally.. .(what we British call sirloin steak is a porterhouse steak in the US)

Here's a list of the different things we call the same foods either side of the pond, although lots of these are now becoming intermingled in both countries..!!

I learned a lot from that. Thanks for the post Hollydolly.

You're welcome Sid and falcon

 

[rkunsaw]

That was very interesting Hollydolly.

I like my steak done.

 

[Ina]

That cleared up a few curiosities, thanks hollydolly. (If I'm not careful, my Kindle will change your name to hillbilly, so if it ever happens, please excuse me.)

 

[hollydolly]

rkunsaw and Ina glad you enjoyed it...and Ina altho' I'm very aware what a hillbilly is, it doesn't have the same connotations here in the UK as it does in the US...so don't feel bad if you make a mistake...I'll just imagine I'm sittin' on a porch somewhere's in deepest Arkansas whittlin' on a stick... no offence intended rkunsaw

Inicidentally..the term hillbilly was first coined in my home country of Scotland...The Scottish expressions, "hill-folk" and "billie" which was a synonym for "fellow", similar to "guy" or "bloke"....so I'd kinda take it as a compliment :lol1::lol1:

 

[Ina]

The tag hillbilly means country to me, but there are many that use it in a derogatory way. Thanks for understanding.

 

[Gael]

Me too otherwise it's too dry or too scary!

The barbeque steak is a whole other subject.

I noticed here in N Ireland they almost always have it well done. Not sure why that is but I don't like it well done, I prefer medium rare but I am American. Americans could take it rare too which I never see them go near over here.

 

[Pam]

Medium rare ..... with plenty of chips. layful:

I proudly refer to myself as a hillbilly. I've never heard it used in a derogatory way. Some might have meant it that way but I never take it that way.

 

[Jillaroo]

Really well done so it's not pink inside with garlic & mushroom sauce

 

[littleowl]

When I was fit I used to eat raw minced steak mixed with Garlic and black pepper.
Now I prefer medium to rare.

 

[Justme]

I rarely eat steak, but if I do I like it well done, red bits put me off.

 

[Jillaroo]

What is it with cooking lately all meat is being served quite rare be it a leg of lamb, cutlets, salmon even, i watch these cooking and reality shows and they all serve them almost raw, they may as well not cook it.
