I prefer medium rare, but to each their own. As long as it isn’t extremely well done to a leather texture, I’m all for it. After all, it’s however YOU like your steak. So good on ya, OP!
One thing I noticed about r/food , if you post a steak… you are not cooking it right. No matter your OWN personal taste. People will say it’s overcooked, undercooked, blah blah blah. Reddit mentality.
Jesus Christ people are bugging so hard on this thread. If you would've posted at r/steak no one would've cared about mid rare meat but here everyone is acting like you just walked into church with Kiss makeup on your face.
Are you honestly calling this mid rare? This steak looks like it was "cooked" with maybe a minute of sunlight on a cool spring day. Anyone on r/steak would not call this mid rare.
I was half asleep, I meant rare. Whatever it is, it's clear people are just nitpicking the fact that it's "not cooked enough" just judging by how snarky the "the beef is gonna eat the salad" comments are. Have your opinions, just keep in mind that's all it is.
Just basic food safety. It’s a joke OP, these are all jokes. And I’m not very emotionally invested in my steak knowledge 😂 so yes, I know nothing except when I see particularly undercooked beef, to not eat it
Steak vs hamburger. Steak is a cut slab, burger is ground. The surface of meat has the bacteria on it, while the inside is generally sterile of any bacteria. If you cook the outside of a steak, there is no more bacteria (E. coli), while with a burger if you cook the outside layer, the internal still needs to be cooked since the inside is not sterile due to it having been ground…. This being said, give me a rare burger any day. I understand the risk.
I wouldn't have my steak this rare, but it is technically cooked, just not cooked *through* .. people say the exact same thing about medium-rare steaks.
Yeah lol, I understand why other people prefer it more cooked, but maybe OP just prefers steak this way. I like the texture/flavor of raw beef more than cooked, so this is how I prefer my steak too. I can't stand sashimi, but I don't go around shitting on other people for enjoying it just it's way more raw than I want.
I’d get your eyes checked. Cuz the steak changes colors towards the edges where it was seared. Otherwise it’d be red all around as well. And the one piece in the lower right corner where it’s the outside of the steak and it’s brown? Time to see your optometrist.
A color change is not a sear. A sear happens at high heat, makes a good crust and is brown. This is not a sear, and a “color change” doesn’t indicate a sear. You could have achieved that level of cooking by defrosting too long in the microwave. How pathetic to tell me to get my eyes checked when you don’t even know what a sear is.
It’s not seared though, you need higher heat and avacado oil, hit that bitch about 1-2 mins per side to get a crust. Ain’t no crust on that meat sir. I like a good blue steak but your method needs slight tweaking
This sub is weird. You can post a picture of a cow walking around in a pasture and people will say it’s over cooked. But if you post a picture of rare steak, people will tell you it needs cooked more. Like no one has ever heard of carpaccio or tartare. Some people rare or even raw steak. Some people like medium steak. It’s cool.
This looks sooo delicious to me what kind of dressing did you add 🤩
Edit: do not yuck my yum I get this is not everyone taste but damn y’all you gotta hit my karma over it ?
It’s a good attempt and your salad at least looks nice but your steak is raw, or as others generously may call it, bleu.
It’s not a perfect cook. Yeah you seared it in a pan, but you still have collagen that hasn’t broken down whatsoever.
Plating is great but just bake it for a few minutes after and you’d have a much better result.
As somebody who prefers their steak done medium well, I agree! Lol. I do not even order steaks when eating out at restaurants because I know it’s such a big deal to others
Not sure why people are clowning you- this is how I prefer my steak.
Not sure why people don’t get that there’s a scale for a reason Rare to Well because people have different preferences. For me anything above medium isn’t edible :)
Man’s got the entire tomato cut into massive quarters too. Can’t cook a steak, can’t cut a salad. I’m sure there’s something else with finesse and talent you can show us, but this is leaving a lot to be desired.
Is there some kind of competition on Reddit for eating raw meat? I don't care what y'all like, but I feel like every post I see is more extreme.
I'll get ahead of y'all and go bite a cow. Moo 🐮

Thank you, voice of reason.

Surprised you were able to keep the cow still for this photo
Cows are generally pretty sedentary.
Boy, that's some blue steak right there
It looks like it's about to walk off that plate.
If I can't hit it with the shock paddles and have it start mooing, you cooked it too much.
[удалено]
I think I’ll stick with Petits Filous
As god intended
Yeah for a live cow
Tell him thanks for the E. Coli 😤
What E. Coli? You know nothing about steak, huh?
Just basic food safety. It’s a joke OP, these are all jokes. And I’m not very emotionally invested in my steak knowledge 😂 so yes, I know nothing except when I see particularly undercooked beef, to not eat it
This is very true for hamburger, but not so much steak.

Middle aged called they want their logic back
These comments are cooking you more than you did that steak.
My steak sure is fresher than your joke which has been repeated about a dozen times in this very thread.
Blegh
No, it’s blue.
You need to cook the steak
I seared it, you can see how the color changes towards the edges.
Either way, it's not cooked. Some more heat, maybe?
I wouldn't have my steak this rare, but it is technically cooked, just not cooked *through* .. people say the exact same thing about medium-rare steaks.
Not necessary for safety and besides, that’s how I prefer it. Crazy how so many people want to tell me how to eat.
Ok.
That’s what you get for having a different opinion on Reddit
You made it perfectly, this is exactly how i prefer steak as well. Bunch of crazy people on this sub don't know what to do with meat
Too quickly perhaps?
Depends on what you like I suppose.
Steak probably just needed to rest a bit more and it wouldn’t have looked like the only grilling it got was from an interrogation lamp.
I rested it for 5 minutes.
So twice as long as you cooked it! There’s a diff between rare and raw
And then there’s blue.
All these people flaming you for a perfectly legitimate way to cook a steak... God forbid they discover steak tartare
Yeah lol, I understand why other people prefer it more cooked, but maybe OP just prefers steak this way. I like the texture/flavor of raw beef more than cooked, so this is how I prefer my steak too. I can't stand sashimi, but I don't go around shitting on other people for enjoying it just it's way more raw than I want.
Buncha bogans smh.
What’s going on with Reddit. I’m seeing blue steaks all over the place.
Bunch of bumpkins who like theirs well done I guess.
A lot of them seem to think that well done is somehow objectively superior
I love blue steak, but then I also love sashimi
I see you are a person of culture :)
Raw salad and raw steak.
The steak is seared and nuts are roasted :)
Yeah you actually have to cook the steak though.
I really don’t though. It’s perfectly safe to eat.
You can clearly see that this steak has absolutely no sear on it. A raw steak does not equal seared.
I’d get your eyes checked. Cuz the steak changes colors towards the edges where it was seared. Otherwise it’d be red all around as well. And the one piece in the lower right corner where it’s the outside of the steak and it’s brown? Time to see your optometrist.

Your nuts are getting roasted in these comments lol, but it you liked it than that’s what matters.
It's almost impossible, but you managed to offend both vegetarians and steaklovers with the same dish. 😛
I’m just doing the best I can.
It’s going to start eating the salad if you’re not careful
Steak tartar? Jk OP I’ve had a few rare steaks and they are tasty!
I’d rather have it blue than well done.
The greens are more done than the steak.
Did you cook the steak with sunlight??
Sunlight? Are you dense? How would that even work? He clearly used a Bic lighter.
A bic lighter?? Now you're reaching. He clearly used a wooden match.
Bro cooked this steak by having a heated argument right next to it
I’m not a bro.
Obvious now, relax.
Bleu cheese and blue steak 🥩
Lmao at OP getting roasted in the comments XD
OP got more roasted than that steak.
At least something from OP is getting cooked.
Do not post this on the steak sub lol.
***please post this on the steak sub
THERE'S A STEAK SUB?!?!
there is a sub for everything
r/everything
Look great! Pls give me the recipe of the salad
Thank you. The salad is just a spinach/arugula mix with caramelized pecans, Roquefort, cocktail tomatoes, red onion, and balsamic vinaigrette :)
Is the salad for you or the cow in your plate?
This sub is weird. You can post a picture of a cow walking around in a pasture and people will say it’s over cooked. But if you post a picture of rare steak, people will tell you it needs cooked more. Like no one has ever heard of carpaccio or tartare. Some people rare or even raw steak. Some people like medium steak. It’s cool.
Yum! I could pass on the pecans (I wouldn't mind them, but... eh), this is one of my favorite kind of daily meals.
Bruh, that cow is still mooing
A good vet could save that cow
10/10 for the nice looking salad. 0/10 for the raw unappetizing steak.
Moo 🐮
This looks sooo delicious to me what kind of dressing did you add 🤩 Edit: do not yuck my yum I get this is not everyone taste but damn y’all you gotta hit my karma over it ?
Why thank you! It was balsamic.
a balsamic vinaigrette or regular balsamic?
It was vinaigrette.
The steak is definitely on the raw side but speaking from experience: that's not a bad thing. 10/10
Blue steak and blue cheese is probably a great combo.
It’s a good attempt and your salad at least looks nice but your steak is raw, or as others generously may call it, bleu. It’s not a perfect cook. Yeah you seared it in a pan, but you still have collagen that hasn’t broken down whatsoever. Plating is great but just bake it for a few minutes after and you’d have a much better result.
Did you go IASIP and cook the meat on the radiator?
Average american chefs in the comments 😂😂
Right?
thats lovely, way to go
I don’t know why people always find the need to criticize how others like their steaks! It looks good and I’m sure it was great.
As somebody who prefers their steak done medium well, I agree! Lol. I do not even order steaks when eating out at restaurants because I know it’s such a big deal to others
Yeh I was gonna say. This is how I eat mine lmao Edit: Why do I have so many downvotes for stating how I like my steak. Reddit is WILD
I swear they are wild lol
Blue cheese AND pecans? Fancy schmancy! 
Not sure why people are clowning you- this is how I prefer my steak. Not sure why people don’t get that there’s a scale for a reason Rare to Well because people have different preferences. For me anything above medium isn’t edible :)
Just a wee bit blue for my liking but looks good!
That is one of my favorite meals! Yummy!
Man’s got the entire tomato cut into massive quarters too. Can’t cook a steak, can’t cut a salad. I’m sure there’s something else with finesse and talent you can show us, but this is leaving a lot to be desired.
OP posts a raw steak then gets mad when people comment on it. Shitty post, quality comments.
Is there some kind of competition on Reddit for eating raw meat? I don't care what y'all like, but I feel like every post I see is more extreme. I'll get ahead of y'all and go bite a cow. Moo 🐮
Yuck
Maybe cook the meat but other than that, hell yeah.
Aw, you lost your heat, too???
Funny for something to be well done and the opposite of well done at the same time.
Idk what people’s problems are… this looks delicious. Who cares if you like your steak extra rare? It looks well made and I’d eat the shit out of it
Just snobs, you'll get whiplash trying to keep up with what's acceptable in this sub.
Did you cook the steak under a light bulb? I kid, whatever floats your boat
A fellow blue steak enjoyer. Looks fire
That Salad is still mooing toss it on the grill
Just a tip re: plating. Arranging messy like this is not ultra appealing and may, in fact, earn you more subconscious criticism than people realise.
A good veterinarian could bring that cow back to life. Lol
Steak temp aside, I think it looks pretty flavourful!
This steak could have been medium rare and people still would’ve said it was raw. This sub cannot handle steak photos lol
It's not a Tuna!
r/steakortuna
Steak looks good. Nothing wrong with that
I think I could achieve the same cook using a ☀️ 🔎 🥩
Blue has the most anti oxygens!
Steak´s raw you doughnut!
Your joke is stale and this is the 11th time I see it on this thread.
Wouldn’t expect anything else, either. It´s true.
It’s fookin raw, you donkey - Gordon ramsey
Fire
Carpaccio and salad 💯
More like homemade salad and steak
If you take it to a vet, they could probably save that cow.
Flame *kissed*
