I've googled this, and can't find a real answer that makes since, so I decided to look into personal answers. I was just spending some time at the grill, and I thought surely I can't be the only fellow here who enjoys a big juicy slab of beef. So if any of you order, or even prepare your steak well-done at home, what is your reasoning behind it?
Personally, how I order or prepare my steak has a lot to do with my mood or where I'm eating, but it always falls between medium rare and medium , but never further than that. If I'm eating at home, I usually cook it around medium rare because I know where the meat is coming from and where my hands have been, but if it cooks a little more, or sometimes even a little less I'm okay with it. But when I'm at a restaraunt, unless it's a place I've been eating at for years, I always order it medium simply because I don't know who is touching it or where the meat comes from.
I did order a steak well-done just once to try it, and I honestly couldn't find any qualities I liked in it. The flavor was gone, it was hard to chew, and it really just seemed to me like a wasted piece of beef.
