How do you like your steaks?

I used to like medium rare, but now it would be medium, if I were having steak. It has been a couple of years since I have had a steak, but there is a little grocery store that puts T-bones on sale sometimes. Usually, we just get a couple for Bobby, and I eat something else. He is a bodybuilder and wants lots of protein, whereas I have the kidney failure (from the CHF) so I have to limit protein, so it works out okay for us.
My favorite is barbecued, with BBQ sauce basted on each time the steak is turned (and chicken the same way). However, Bobby hates BBQ sauce, and he likes to cook the bbq, whatever we are having; so I either eat it plain or add some afterwards, which is no where near as good.
 
Nice thing about slamming a rare steak on a hot plater is that is very juicy tasting.
I in my younger days liked medium well but as time passed the stake has gotten
tougher so now I cook my own at home.

Medium Rare and not too much fat !

1. Prefer the steak comes from a 'corn finished cow' (e.g., the cow was fed on pure dried corn at least 90 days before processing). This fattens the cow, making the steak very tender and flavors the meat with a touch of sweetness.

2. Cooked in a frying pan or on an open grill that is super hot, prior to the steak being placed to cook. Then only cook the first side until the meat had browned nicely (3-4 minutes depending on the thickness), then turn it over and finish the other side the same as the first. Then serve...do not take time to rest the meat! Should be medium-rare! Pink in the middle well browned/ charred on the outside.

3. Then savor the meal...
 
I prefer my steak in a restaurant that specializes in steaks. 😉🤭😂

I stopped buying T-bone steaks when the butchers started removing the classic tail.

I buy a thick boneless ribeye every year or two and cut it into two smaller steaks.

I fry the small steak in a screaming hot pan for three minutes on each side and let it rest covered for another three minutes before serving.
