Medium rare please.  Thanks!

IT'S NOT BLOOD! Lol. Blood is removed from an animal during processing. You can do a little quick research and you'll find out that the red liquid in a piece of meat is actually a combination of water and a protein in the muscle that turns red when exposed. Like humans, there is a lot of water in our bodies and theirs - in the muscles. So...you can calm down because you're not going to see blood on a cutting board!

Well, if you go to a high end restaurant and order a fabulous steak, requesting it cooked well done, the look on the wait staff's face will say it all.  Like -- what are you thinking?

Over cooking is truly a waste of a good steak, or roast, in the opinion everyone I've ever know, or cooked for. So no, I don't think that way.

Who wants to watch the host cut into a well done steak? All dry and rubbery. Perhaps you could change the channel if you aren't interested in what is being presented?

FYI - the red juices are NOT blood. Look it up. 🙄

I agree--am grossed out by bloody cutting boards too---I am a medium temp steak eater---and certainly don't press on my steak to release all those juices--just an advertising ploy, I realize.

OP,  you do realize you can change the channel, don't you?

From the responses, I bet you may be sorry you posted?

I'm not! I learned something today, what we're seeing isn't blood!

I didn't know that!

Thank you for posting.
