:lol::lol::lol:
So, you like yours pretty rare too. :)
I definitely like pink/red in the center, I'd rather the blood be at least somewhat cooked, but I can handle it if it's a little bloody.
:thumbs: I will eat it if it's cooked a little longer but not well done. For me, well done meat is equal to shoe leather.

My aunt and uncle, both deceased now :(, used to have fish frys. Bass, bream, and crappies. A friend of my uncle's loved to fish and brought him all he caught. Anyway, they would fry those fish up in a cast iron skillet on the grill. Hush puppies, fries and Cole slaw would join the meal. I would tell them to give me a plate, a plateful of those fish and leave me alone. No knives, forks or spoons. I'd pick those fish apart with my fingers! YUM!!!!!

Me too...but then that's what steak sauce is for.
If I was at a restaurant, I'd send it back if it was that overdone.
Here at home, sometimes steaks cook fast, our grill has some hot spots, and while DH does his best, depending on the density of the steak, sometimes (rarely) he'll cook the pink out...
Then, I just use a dab of good steak sauce.

Which I need to find a new one.
I used to like Lea & Perrins Steak Sauce that had a mix of Heinz 57 in it, but they discontinued it, and the replacement isn't near as good.
Might have to mix my own up...
I like it for pork too.

We have a local fish stand that has good fish. Local to where I work, not here where I live...
It's pretty darn good, and almost as good as fish fry fish.

    I like A1 most of the time but sometimes I get out the spicy 57 for a change :)

    Yes, how it's cut makes all the difference :)
    Although Sara would want her's "with" the grain if she's likes stringy :laugh:


    :facepalm: Naughty boy!! :laugh:

    Nah, I don't necessarily like "stringy" per say, but that was the only thing I could think to describe it. ;) its a good hunk of meat, but when you put some on your plate you can pull off stringyish chunks.

    Not doing a thing here. Wet from overnight and morning rain, not sure the temp, but nothing is frozen, no icicles either.


    :laugh: :wub:


    Just curious, when you have ordered/eaten steak, to what degree do you prefer it cooked??
    If you go with well done, that's going to be the toughest...disregard if you already know that. :laugh:
    I only mention it because I wasn't a big steak eater until I met my DH.
    Growing up, my parents always cooked everything to well done.
    I didn't know anything else, didn't want anything that had any juices.
    Even having it cooked to medium well, instead of well done, helps.:2c:


    ...:laugh:
    :sneaky: I didn't take it like that. :w00t: :lol::lol::lol:

    Growing up I would say we had shoe leather, was all my mom could afford. Lol. I honestly have never ordered a steak out, nor cooked one at home. o_O I have tried bites off of family members plates but I would much rather have a plate of alfredo with unlimited garlic bread. Carb monger party of one!! :D

    Hey I'm a :angel:you know that :laugh:

    More like :evil: in :angel:clothes. :p Totally teasing you.

    I don't have any problem eating any of the meats... but am not as fond of the greasy bird meat. As for how rare... grandpa told them at a restaurant one time, "just slap a band aid on it and kick it back in the pasture, it will be fine." He wasn't fond of pink in his meat.:lol::lol::lol:

    I remember the first time DH and I had steak, I told him well done, he told me no. :laugh:
    He said he wouldn't do that to a steak he'd paid $ for. :lol:

    It's ok kind of like a sweet and thinner A1 I buy some every now and then :)
    I thought it was too sweet.
    My parents loved it, and my nephew in FL *absolutely* loves it.
