Absolutely medium-rare. If it's rarer than that, it's okay.  And you're right, anything over medium is blasphemy, and doesn't even taste like meat any more -- even burgers.

I use to eat my steak rare, but then I guess all these health claims of rare steak not being good for you changed my thinking. I like pink or a little rare in the middle but totally bloody? Not so much. TIS I too have changed the way I cook meat; I cook it all the way through.

At the cost of a decent cut of meat today, what's the point of spending that kind of money solely to cook it until you can barely chew it??? If I wanted cat food I'd open a can of KiKi's. Oh, and don't let your peas touch your steak.

I almost never eat steak anymore; if I do, I'll cook it myself because I like it medium or even medium/well. Don't care for blood-rare steak. Never have, though I know many folks who swear by it. I prefer my hamburgers well done. But since I like thick burgers, cooking them that way doesn't really ruin it for me. But again, I prefer to make them at home. Too many times (in restaurants) I've asked for a well-done burger only to have it brought to me nearly raw. And who wants to eat a raw burger? On the other hand, some "genius" will probably put a little dollop of raw, fatty ground beef on the menu of one of those yuppified, upscale Manhattan "bistros" and call it Le Burger Tartare; flanked by Yin/Yang-style smears of ketchup and mustard (and at a price of somewhere around $25 for a tablespoon-size portion), it will promptly be hailed as the next great trend in "fine dining." It will also prove that you can fool some of the people all of the time. Of course, since I'm so behind the times, chances are it's been done for years already... Wouldn't mind having a real hamburger right about now - come to think of it, I think it's been several months since I've had one. It's difficult to get a decent burger around here - all the little cafes are long gone and all that's available in my neighborhood (within walking distance) is McDonald's.  Signor V.

And who wants to eat a raw burger?  Well then, here's an old Popeye comic strip that seems to be appropriate. (Be warned - it's rather graphic.) Click here. Signor V.

Anyone who saw tonight's episode of Master Chef on Fox got a thorough education on the definition of steaks (filet mignon, in this case) cooked rare, medium-well, and well-done.
A well-done steak should never come out like shoe leather. It should always be moist and juicy, never dried out like a beef hockey puck.
It appears that to a great number of people, "well-done" has become synonymous with "horribly overcooked."

I didn't see tonight's episode, I watched last week's.
Filet -- specifically -- should NEVER be cooked past medium-rare, I don't care WHO says otherwise!
