Medium Rare Or Well Done...How Do You Prepare Your Steak? (See Post)🥰

 

There has been a debate in my family about this! I do not eat meat, but when I did, it was DEFINITELY medium rare for me.❤ 😁 I felt like well done was eating leather; it was just SO tough!  I now realize I was likely OVERCOOKING it!😁 Since this is GRILLING season, I thought this might be fun!😊

 

How do you prefer to prepare your steak for grilling, for fajitas, salads, sandwiches, soups, burritos etc...? Do you marinate, dry rub, lightly season.?

@SandySparkles - We're trying to cut down on red meat, but we do like a good steak once in a while! We use very little seasoning - maybe a little Montreal steak, then I have a mix of garlic and some other spices I like. That's if I grill them inside.

 

 

If DH grills them outside he doesn't use anything!

 

 

I like my steaks medium. DH likes his medium-rare.

 

 

 

We used to make Sukiyaki at the table with strip steak when the kids were home. It was fun! We haven't done that in a while!  Smiley Happy

We aren't big beef eaters either and may eat red meat 3 or 4 times during summer grilling season. When we do, it's tenderloin steak or waygu beef burgers.  Only seasoning on both is salt and pepper on top. Our steak...rare always - melts in your mouth and delicious with a quick outside char.  The burgers, medium rare.  I can't do well done grilled beef.  Like chewing on a boot 🥾

@SandySparkles  I love medium rare steak! Steak is fun to cook- I've made dry rubbed tri tip, marinated grilled carne asada, some cheesesteak sandwiches and steak fajitas. Smiley Happy

I'm not a steak lover, but if I have one I'd like it to be medium.

I like a medium rare ribeye with Montreal steak seasoning, finished off with a pat of garlic herb butter while it's resting.

Haven't had a steak in 28 years.  DH has 1-2 per year.  He has to cut down on red meat and especially steaks.  He likes filets cooked with nothing, medium.  No steak sauce.  Just steak.  We go to a steak house that is notoriously high the one or two occasions each year and I think they season his steak while cooking, but he doesn't.  Doesn't matter.  That's the only one he wants if he only has it 1-2 x per year, so he doesn't mind the high price, since it's a rare occasion and the steak is delicious.  I get lobster.

Medium well - some pink but no red.

 

Growing up our family cooked everything well done so that stuck with me most of my life.
