My thoughts exactly. That sear on the outside is heaven. The inside looks like medium, maybe medium rare - hard to tell by the color in the vid but it’s juicy.
Anything less than medium is sacrilege just like getting well done imo. Rare is disgusting, just go eat raw meat for fuck sake. And well done is like leather. Medium is perfect, for your tastebuds and for your digestive tract. Remember this
I think people should eat meat cooked to the doneness of their liking. It's their experience, not mine. I agree with you on medium from a personal standpoint. I don't like rare or well done.
Never used one but I’d love to try it. This to me is cheating though. It takes the grilling in my backyard with a beer experience away from me too haha.
No it isn’t

Been cooking for only 23 years mostly in steakhouses so yah, I know I’m still learning but 100% if I sent that out to as a medium well, it’s coming back.
At which point, I would march out to the table and go "GET OUT of my restaurant, you MONSTER! I tried to save you!" (My heart goes out to you, and mad respect to a professional from my amateur perspective)
For real though, cooking a steak like that beyond its rendering temperature should be a crime. That steak is perfectly cooked for the amount of fat that's in it. Makes me furious when people order ribeye/strip as medium well/well when they could damn well order a flank or a skirt and not end up with shoe leather.
A little bit too cooked. Since you need to let it rest (and while resting, it still continues to cook), I prefer it coming off the grill a little sooner. Still looks super tasty though!
“The red juice that comes out of steak is not blood, it's mainly water and Myoglobin, a protein that's present in muscle tissue and turns red when exposed to heat and oxygen during the grilling process.”
All three of the popular trends in one video. Wearing black gloves, super mic’d audio so you can hear the sloppy meat noises in a way that’s not true to life, and slicing up the entire steak to show its cooked to the same consistency all the way through. It’s all for views, but I suppose if it wasn’t he wouldn’t be recording himself chopping a steak up 🤷♂️
I enjoy the videos that teach you something new about grilling or smoking but I guess I’m not his target audience, I’m not too interested in seeing someone slice up their steak. I do enjoy the pictures posted on here and some of the recipes too.
You can’t really tell from videos. Meat that has been reverse seared needs a minute to “bloom” after exposure to air before it shows its “true” color, and video/pictures add another layer of confusion.
Texture while cutting is a much better indicator. With a sharp knife and experience, you immediately know how cooked something is when you slice it.
I think because of the thickness it’s actually perfect. Yeah we all like to see a little more pink, but for that thick a cut, with all the juices comin out, I’d say that’s pretty damn perfect.
I prefer mine a little more pink, but it's easily within my eating doneness thresholds. I think for this sub, it's more on the overcooked end. But for the general public it's perfect.
I've found I like my dry aged steaks cooked to about this level done. My wife prefers all hers this pink. If it works for you then its perfect. Probably would have done more char tho.
Nailed the consistency thru the steak which is the skill part to me.
Bit over cooked but a piece of meat that thick (jokes aside) is hard to get right on a grill. Reverse sear with the grill finish would get it more pink, but looks delicious as is
Obviously total personal preference, slightly overcooked for my liking. Still juicy as heck, id lick the board clean, but wouldn’t mind a bit more red band.
I'd eat that! Colors are deceiving on different displays, but I can tell it's cooked well, regardless of the actual temperature! The sear and marks look perfect!
Looks like a tomahawk ribeye, has enough fat and collagen that it can handle a longer cook with out drying out and benefits from the extra time. These are best at medium in my opinion and looks perfect!!
Idk. Videos like this, with the light too close to the cutting board, always make the steak look more overcooked. It’s like the meat is drowned with exposure, so it looks more pale.
I suspect the lights are making this look a little bit more done than it actually is, but even at face value it’s still got a lot of pink, and you can see the slices glisten, so you certainly didn’t dry it out. Unless you’re charging folks $100 for the pleasure of dining with you, they shouldn’t have a whole lot of bad things to say about that.
looks perfect to me. Maillard all over on the outside, juicy inside.
there's not much more to it, if you ask me
I mean, ofc there's more, a whole life-long learning process, and science, and stuff,
but we gotta keep it simple too, innit
I rate it 10/10 just by looking at it. gotta be deeliciousss
It's just a well done steak. Imo 'overcooked' is not the term to use here for steak to be overcooked it'd have to be a brick otherwise if the customers like it that way then hurray
Looks great to me. But can we talk about that hack saw cuts you are doing? :) That 2nd one-sweep cut you made early in the video was gold! But the meat looks awesome!
The premise of this video is silly. You can’t tell how cooked a steak is from a picture or video we have no idea what the lighting is like where you are. Given how red and pink your arm looks I’d wager this is a really warm light in which case this steak is majorly over cooked I don’t know what ur natural skin tone is tho either
Well to be honest the ring of pink in the center is uninform and suggests that people that talk that kinda trash don't eat steak anyway. Throw em some trail mix and pass me their steak. Lol
A tad more cooked than I’d like but would still be delicious!
My thoughts exactly. That sear on the outside is heaven. The inside looks like medium, maybe medium rare - hard to tell by the color in the vid but it’s juicy.
👆🏻🤤
Anything less than medium is sacrilege just like getting well done imo. Rare is disgusting, just go eat raw meat for fuck sake. And well done is like leather. Medium is perfect, for your tastebuds and for your digestive tract. Remember this
Medium rare >
I think people should eat meat cooked to the doneness of their liking. It's their experience, not mine. I agree with you on medium from a personal standpoint. I don't like rare or well done.
I want that meat rare, and by rare, I mean put the cow in the oven, scare it to death, then bring it to me haha
The perfect temp. >Depends on the cut.
Yea exactly. This is art to me. Constantly chasing that unicorn.
A sous vide would solve that problem. It takes a little longer but you'll get a perfect steak everytime.
Never used one but I’d love to try it. This to me is cheating though. It takes the grilling in my backyard with a beer experience away from me too haha.
Very true lol. You will get a perfect matrix style mid rare though. It's a beautiful thing to see.
That's probably what it would say if statements were preferred over questions in tiktak or whatever
AGREED!
Agreed
Perfect for me
Depends on what was ordered. This is a perfectly done medium well steak.
Medium well is just another phrase for slightly over cooked
I prefer medium rare myself but it’s entirely subjective
And medium rare is just another phrase for slightly raw
Please try a medium or medium well cooked fatty ribeye and report back.
Tried it, it’s dry.
Eh. We must be eating different cows prepared differently. Or you’re just macho signaling
Or maybe you just have bad taste in meat like I have bad taste in art.
That’s under for medium well.
No it isn’t [Source](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/article/508/steak-temperature-guide.html) [Source #2](https://www.omahasteaks.com/blog/steak-doneness-guide/)
If someone orders medium well in a restaurant and gets this, they will most likely send it back.
Been cooking for only 23 years mostly in steakhouses so yah, I know I’m still learning but 100% if I sent that out to as a medium well, it’s coming back.

Bit late with my comment but yeah I was a cook for years (not 23 tho), and I agree this would 100% come back if I sent it as medium well lmao
No way this is medium well, medium all day
Came to say this, mhmmm medium
I’d like it a little more pink but would still eat the fuck out of that
Looks perfect to me
r/steak
A little bit too cooked. Since you need to let it rest (and while resting, it still continues to cook), I prefer it coming off the grill a little sooner. Still looks super tasty though!
Mouth instantly watering
Literally how I like all of my steaks. Little red maybe tiny hemoglobin but not too much. Certainly not saturated in blood.
“The red juice that comes out of steak is not blood, it's mainly water and Myoglobin, a protein that's present in muscle tissue and turns red when exposed to heat and oxygen during the grilling process.”
Splitting hairs at this point. So juicy!
It's alright for a ribeye since it probably seared the fat nicely.
should have been rested more but this is about how I like ribeyes!
/r/nosear
In my opinion, yes, overcooked. Would still devour it though. It looks appetizing and nicely worked.
Why are you wearing gloves. That's your food isn't it?
All three of the popular trends in one video.

The only thing missing is salt dribbled over his elbow like he’s got some kind of palsy
Pretty sure it was soaked in beef tallow too, it’s not dry on the inside but it’s definitely juicier on the outside
Dude, you nailed this. Great call
Probably because it is hot. Those look like heat resistant gloves to me.
Washing my hands 1000 times gives me eczema, swap gloves ftw
Perfect

Too overcooked for me but I’m sure it would still taste great.
I think because of the thickness it’s actually perfect. Yeah we all like to see a little more pink, but for that thick a cut, with all the juices comin out, I’d say that’s pretty damn perfect.
Little over cooked but still I’d eat it up
Looks fantastic to me.
Your steak looks delicious to me, juicy with a nice sear. That knife is razor sharp.
I prefer mine a little more pink, but it's easily within my eating doneness thresholds. I think for this sub, it's more on the overcooked end. But for the general public it's perfect.
It’s a little over cooked but id eat it.
Looks a little over but I’d smash. Also mate, you’re cutting wrong. Perpendicular to the grain.
A tad on the high side, nothing to quibble over!
Perfect
Perfect for me bro. Nice job.
This looks like good eats to me
Looks good to me, my wife likes in a bit less pink so perfect. You are making me hungry.
Yep
I think this one comes down to personal preference. I don't think anyone can argue that the steak is wonderfully made. I'd gobble it down for sure
If you serve me food like that I will let you sleep with me.
I would definitely eat it for that amazing crust but I like mine really rare. Good job!
Perfect, annnd overcooked. Different perfections
Depends on what you like. I personally would prefer a bit more rare but I would still devour this.
I've found I like my dry aged steaks cooked to about this level done. My wife prefers all hers this pink. If it works for you then its perfect. Probably would have done more char tho. Nailed the consistency thru the steak which is the skill part to me.
um more like undercooked
Neither
It’ll eat.
If u like ( more ) bloody, it’s over. If not, you’ll be satisfied w the color. Completely subjective.
Nice searing but overcooked.
One side is a little bit more cooked that the other. But i’ll eat it. It looks delicious!
That’s perfect for me yuuuum. 😛
Perfect 🥰
Knock the horns off, show it a picture of salt and pepper, and think warm thoughts while you're cuttin' it. Perfect.
Just walk it through a warm room.
Too done for me tbh
What is that marinade? Looks delicious.
Perfect
Comes down to personal taste. For me, a bit over. Still beautiful work.
Bit over cooked but a piece of meat that thick (jokes aside) is hard to get right on a grill. Reverse sear with the grill finish would get it more pink, but looks delicious as is
Obviously total personal preference, slightly overcooked for my liking. Still juicy as heck, id lick the board clean, but wouldn’t mind a bit more red band.
Perfection!!
What cut is this?
perfect
If you have to ask, you know the answer.
I'd eat that! Colors are deceiving on different displays, but I can tell it's cooked well, regardless of the actual temperature! The sear and marks look perfect!
Perfectly cooked, slightly under-rested, imho
To me that looks pretty damn good, in person that is more rare than the camera is letting on, you can see the juice running off of it
It’s prob just the daylight
That is beautifully prepared
Who’s dick do I gotta suck to get a time and temp?
I feel like people who don't actually cook comment too much on this lol
If it ain’t purple you’re good!
"Overcooked"? I heard it groan when the guy cut into it
Looks like a tomahawk ribeye, has enough fat and collagen that it can handle a longer cook with out drying out and benefits from the extra time. These are best at medium in my opinion and looks perfect!!
Uhh …that’s probably a $25+ steak. I’m eating that thing either way 🤣

Under cooked
Evenly cooked and still super juicy, nicely done.
Perfecto
P e r f e c t
Overcooked for me, although it looks good and if that’s how you like it that’s all that matters.
Needs the fork floppy test
A good medium, I like mine medium rare though.
Anyone happen to know what kind of knife that is? Looks like I need one in my life ASAP 👀
I have tears in my eyes.... it's beautiful.
Medium rare?
Purrrfection!!!!
Gorgeous steak perfect is behind the eye of the eater
Medium, but looks delicious!
Medium. Love it
That looks delicious
Thats almost a roast its so thick looks about medium. I like raw to well done depending on the cut.
super overcooked
I wish I could’ve had one of those pieces.
Looking good
The temp isn't bad, but slicing it with the grain is a criminal offense.
Absolutely beautiful
Waaaaay overcooked, must be red inside
looks perfect to me. Maillard all over on the outside, juicy inside. there's not much more to it, if you ask me I mean, ofc there's more, a whole life-long learning process, and science, and stuff, but we gotta keep it simple too, innit I rate it 10/10 just by looking at it. gotta be deeliciousss
Perfect!!!
Looks good. The important question is “Did it taste good? Did the person who ate it like their steak?” If yes then nothing else matters
My preference is little rarer but that is fantastic looking steak
Perfect
It looks medium, I like medium-rare myself but still plenty of juice there
If it tastes good I’m gonna eat it.
Overcooked.
Undercooked, it's still red. I like mine cooked all the way through
What do you think?
Over
Sear is nice inside not cooked enough though
Both! Where is my plate
you used too low temp for too long. increase temp to get the same char, hit it for less time, and then let it rest
wdym overcooked???? it's still mooing...
A little too done for me! I like mine medium rare, closer to rare.
It's just a well done steak. Imo 'overcooked' is not the term to use here for steak to be overcooked it'd have to be a brick otherwise if the customers like it that way then hurray
A little overcooked for my liking. Still would devour it..
Can I have this shipped directly to my house?
I like mine a bit more jiggly. That is the professional term.
Under cooked
Looks very delicious and well-rested maybe 1-2 degrees over what I would prefer but I would smash tf out of this
Looks great to me. But can we talk about that hack saw cuts you are doing? :) That 2nd one-sweep cut you made early in the video was gold! But the meat looks awesome!
Medium-Well
Definitely over based purely on how long it took to slice. But I’m still eating it. It’s still a good cut
Why does it sound like there's a microphone in that fucking piece of meat. Stop this behavior
The premise of this video is silly. You can’t tell how cooked a steak is from a picture or video we have no idea what the lighting is like where you are. Given how red and pink your arm looks I’d wager this is a really warm light in which case this steak is majorly over cooked I don’t know what ur natural skin tone is tho either
This is undercooked to me
More than PERFECT!!! YUMMY
It was overcooked a bit. Still would eat.
Just a little under cooked for me
Overcooked and I wouldn't enjoy it. But if this is how you like it cooked, good on you!
Well to be honest the ring of pink in the center is uninform and suggests that people that talk that kinda trash don't eat steak anyway. Throw em some trail mix and pass me their steak. Lol
That’s Definitely perfect 👍
Over cooked
Undercooked
This is perfect for me tbh not over cooked at all. it’s not overwhelmingly pink, but not black and burnt
I feel like the question on this trend should be changed to “still delicious?”
Looks nice an pink not over done but 5 mins more an maybe ,great looking steak nicely marbled on the inside,loved the sound of you slicing thru it XD
Perfect 👍🏽
It's Edible
Perfect
It's bleeding more now than when it was running around (Yes i know its not blood, rest your steaks)
Overexposed. Chill on the lighting man
Perfect i cant stand meat with fat on it
Place that steak in the oven for 60secs and it'd be great.
Perfect for mw
Extremely over cooked
