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.?

Always medium rare no matter how it is we are eating it. We just use some lawry's salt and pepper.

Only a steak is cooked medium rare for me. DH medium.

Items I make with beef are gently cooked through to stay tender.

@ECBG Welcome!🥰 It was interesting to me that only the steaks are cooked medium rare, but when I read your other beef items are "gently cooked" I understood!😊

DD and I don't mind some pink but er don't want it mooing.We just use Montreal Steak seasoning.

When I worked in a restaurant in the 80s my boss made his best friends steak using a blow torch. Steak went on the grill and he hit it with a blow torch flipped it over and repeated.

The steak had a crust and was blood red inside. I doubt the inside was even warm.

I couldn't even walk by his table, it was too much for me.

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Welcome!🥰 WOW! There is absolutely NO WAY I could eat steak that way!!! I just could not!😁

I have a blood phobia anyway. I can't bring myself to eat some roast. They look bloody to me. I can eat steak medium. I know the longer you cook beef, the tougher it gets. So it's medium for me and medium rare for my husband. Lots of men seem to like it that way with more women eating steak medium.

@songbird Welcome!🥰 I was never a big roast eater unless it was a slow cooked pot roast.😁 You make an interesting point regarding the meat doneness preferences of men and women! That has been my observation as well!😊

@Nightowlz Welcome!🥰 Your dear husband sounds like the MASTER of the grill!😁 I am certain grilled meat turns out fabulously on the Pit Boss! I was not familiar with that particular name so I Googled it, and then could only smile.😊 It is QUITE impressive!👍

THANK you SO much for caring to share today!🤗

Medium rare, well seasoned with steak seasoning, and a healthy dollop of either garlic or blue cheese butter on it while it's resting.

I can't imagine eating a well done steak.

@TheWanderingOne Welcome!🥰 That is exactly how I liked my steaks, but with plain KerryGold butter. I have never had blue cheese butter but it sounds interesting!😁

THANK you SO much for caring to share today!🤗

This thread tells me that folks here are too high and mighty for me.

@dimin Welcome!🥰 Your post made me smile!😁 High and mighty never came to my mind as I read the many steak preferences listed here today!😄 It is understandable that not every one who eats steak, likes it any other way than simply "done".😁

THANK you SO much for caring to share this evening!🤗

@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.

@SandySparkles Thank you, Sandy Sparkles! I love to cook all different types of meat- pork, chicken, beef, lamb etc. Yes! I am a meat girl and I AM THE STEAK QUEEN . Tri tip sandwiches at a little barbecue stand sound like a good time.
