I’ve always cooked my steak closer to rare than medium rare. Thoughts?

You can get away with it as long as you still get good crust sear. Which you did

Same here I love rare steak. Honestly anything within the range of a well seared blue all the way to medium rare tastes good to me. This one came out great!

That’s how I like it. A smidge passed rare but not too close to medium rare.

Looks like you aren’t hurting for money. In that case, you can do way better.

As one should, sir.

Sometimes, as Tim Allen’s character Tim the toolman Taylor once said, you just want it flame kissed.

Rare is always my absolute favorite when done right, and yours looks to be no exception! Since joining this /r, I have learned a great deal about steak meat and the cooking of, so I also now know that certain cuts are better when cooked a bit more to render fat, but I’d still say in MOST all cases I prefer rare. I’m the slowest eater you probably would ever encounter. Even when I’m ravenous, I take about an hr to eat, but this looks good enough that I could likely put it away in 35. Om nom NOM! 🥩 🔥

I think you’re right on track. That said if this is closer to rare it does not buy much.

Thoughts on what? Your preference? Good preference. On the cook? Looks good I’d eat it

Depends on the cut. If it was a filet, you cooked it perfectly. If it is a ribeye or any other cut, it could use a tad more fire. Love the presentation.

Basically the only reason I don’t eat steak raw is that I don’t like the mouth feel of cold fat. If I could find a way to have the fat hot and jelly like and the rest body temp I’d eat steaks raw. I actually ate a steak once that I had asked the waiter to have cooked as little as possible. It was before I’d heard the term “blue rare”. The waitress brought it to me and said the chef wanted to know if it was ok. One slice and I saw it was perfect. It was slightly over body temp, shown the fire on either side, and slapped on the plate. Probably 97% pure raw. Ate the whole thing in pure bliss. I cook steaks raw in the middle for myself but again the middle is body temp but the fat is cooked. Imagine the fat on a perfectly cooked prime rib roast.

You can cook your steak any way you like. You’re eating it.

You do you, I prefer closer to medium with a marbled cut to render the fats, leaner cuts are about texture and a more rare cook is what I aim for.
