How do you like your steak

[Steph9072]

I know that I read that WDW is notorious about either over or under cooking steak. Which is it?

Outside of WDW I like them medium rare. At WDW I order medium and it seems to be the same as medium rare elsewhere.

I like my steaks med-rare. They usually arrive that way, but never underdone. Bill and I must be eating at different restaurants, LOL. The poor guy will order a medium steak where I go and get one blackened!

 

[rentayenta]

Rare. If it is under done it will still be moo-ing.

We've had good luck also. Granted, we've only had steaks at Concourse, Le Cellier & Yachtsman's, but never a problem ordering one medium rare and getting it that way.

Hehe maybe it's just a fluke. Usually what I do is ask the server for pink inside, so pink not red. They say medium but at home that's usually med rare.

Your area must have its own lingo. Medium rare (the king of steaks ) in most places will be a warm, red center. Cool and red is rare. Pink is medium.

I'm a "run over it a few times" well done person. I can not eat it if i see pink. I'm even worse now since almost losing my oldest to ecoli (I know all the facts and figures but it doesn't ease my mind....eating food well done does lol).

Dawn, after a scare like that, I wouldn't blame you in the least if you wanted it charcoaled. How's your child now?

He is fine now. Besides a few scars from surgeries, you wouldn't know what happened and at one point the doctors didn't think he would make it. We don't know where he got ecoli though so hence my naroticness towards well done.

Medium rare (which got a hearty "tres bon!" from our server at our last trip to Le Chefs.)

I want mine in such a state that a good vet could save it.

 

[stemikger]

I used to say burn it to a crisp, but my wife convinced me to try medium well and that seems to be the way to go.

I guess I'm not a real meat eater. My sister likes it rare and I can't even watch her eat it.

 

[TinkRBel_In_Training]

I can't stand the thought of eating any meat that hasnt been cooked all the way through. I like mine overly well done. Extra well done. Charred. lol

 

[Uncleromulus]

Medium well.
Most times it comes out OK, and if undercooked (which is almost always what happens--it's almost never overcooked), it's still in the medium range and I can live with that.

 

[tygerlilli]

well done...overcooked...charred

any sign of blood, and thats no steak for me

 

[wilma-bride]

I like mine medium well too - I don't mind a bit of pink but don't like it bleeding

 

[MickeyNicki]

I always order my steak medium and it always comes out medium. DH orders his med well and it comes out more well done (which he likes too)

 

[canda]

I had someone tell me that over cooked steak or chared grilled steak will give you cancer.

All of WDW and the many, many restaurants that serve steak don't cook it right? That seems unlikely to me.

In any event, although I did recently have to send a steak back at Artist Point for being undercooked, I have not noticed this as a prevalent and recurring problem at the various WDW restaurants.

My husband and I are both rare people (me more so than him), but we always find our meat a little OVERcooked in WDW. I'm not sure the servers and the chefs actually believe us, since most people are afraid of rare meat (we are pretty adventerous eaters...steak tartare and tuna tartare are big favorites), but we love it. With the exception of really fine restaurants, most places (not just in WDW) overcook their meat.

My suggestion is, if you really like medium, order medium rare, especially since the meat keeps cooking for a while after it comes off the grill.
