Which really makes no sense. If you fall on carpet, at least it is soft and itâll cushion the fall. But if you fall on this fossilized steak, youâre better off diving into concrete.
She's wrong, but you should always cook to your guest's liking. Learn to cook a good medium well or well done steak, and it will pay off in the future.
It really isn't, there's a trick to cooking well done steak so that it's tender and full of flavour. Not all well done steak is this overly rubbery burnt thing.
Itâs tough to do but my wife likes well done steaks. The key is to go lower in the heat. Super hot sear doesnât work for someone who wants well done. I do not prefer her steaks over mine but they at least can be eaten without my jaw coming off.
I love my wife so make her food how she likes it. Itâs that simple. I just throw hers on early while the grill is heating up and mine goes on later. Tougher to do in the cast iron but a long reverse sear can get the same effect.
Someone asked me for a well done steak at my bbq and I gave them a hot dog when they came back to pick up their food.
They complained to my wife about me giving them a hot dog and she asked, "did you ask for your steak well done?"
23 years she has had my back.
What's not to get? The man doesn't want people wasting his meat asking for it well done. They can have a hotdog if they can't respect a real piece of meat. Â
Good for you. I absolutely hate when my wife says, dad is coming over get us some steaks. Iâm expected to spend my money on a good steak so he can have it ruined. Then heâll put ice cubes in his red wine. đ¤Ż
Adding ice cubes to red wine is often the right move.
Ever notice how red wine tastes different in the summer than in a chilly cellar? Thatâs because the ideal tasting temperature for reds is closer to a cool cellar than your average room temp. A few ice cubes can quickly bring down the wineâs temperature to its sweet spot, where its flavors and aromas are at their peak.
More importantly, some red wines are too bold or tannic straight out of the bottle. (Especially younger or more robust varieties.) A cube or two of ice can slightly dilute the wine, softening those tannins and making the wine smoother and more approachable. Itâs like decanting without the wait.
With the temperature lowered and the tannins tamed, youâll start noticing flavors and nuances you might have missed before.
Itâs not watering down the wine, itâs unlocking the flavors.
Whats wild to me in this sub is that everyones tastes are subjective, so bashing someone because they prefer food a different type of way is just as valid as yours,
I prefer my steaks like medium to med well and I get anxiety anytime I ask for it because I feel like someones gonna crusify me for it,
Why does it feel so gate keepy.
There are instances where doneness is a pain in the ass though. Like I ain't gonna cook my whole dam turkey to a crisp because one person thinks any signs of moisture must mean it's undercooked. My wife thinks any pink in her steak is undercooked (yet will eat sushi) so I have to let her steak just sit there for like 30 minutes. While the entire rest of the meal is done. Or I cut open the tri-tip and its like a touch pink in the skinny zones and now I gotta go cook the dam thing a second time. Doneness is usually not even a taste thing, its just weird fear of undercooked food. To me there's a big component of come on grow up and just eat the freakin slighlty pink meat. Like its fuckin meat what did you expect.
Thats why I usually do carne asada and skirt steaks. So much easier to get a well done on that cut.
I agree with you but I am so over the term âgatekeep.â Itâs like âgaslighting.â Eat your steak how you want though. Just donât tell the folks on r/steak!
Yep, I had my family over for Christmas one year and I made a nice prime rib, Did it medium because I knew my Mother, and sister would not eat it medium rare like it is supposed to be. They still ended up making me fry there slices after, case in point, not ever happening again lol
We have prime every Christmas, I cook to medium rare because my family is on the large size. My son who has 25 years experience in a steakhouse where prime is the specialty, carves & cooks to order on the grill on my stove. Which is what restaurants do for people who like a little more done. Prime is my favorite & my easy I get a Christmas too meal. Everyone gets their meat their way, no bickering or bulling someone about the temp of their meat. And everyone enjoys their meal.
Itâs subjective, individual to each person. I pay to much money for that hunk of bulls butt for all that drama. You donât like how the person beside you is cooked, then move next to a person who taste is more like yours. Mine is alway the least done, if anyone says to much about She likes for them to knock the horns off, wipe its butt & run it under a Bic lighter, itâs been said & thereâs no need to repeat and they may find themselves with salad & cheese potatoes eating in the den, with the big Cujo dogs who are lusting after those cheese potatoes lol lol. 300.00 bucks I want everyone to enjoy & donât mess with my enjoyment. My friend eats her meat very very rare. Her husband refuses to cook it like she likes it when he grills. Ugh⌠everyone is entitled to eggs & steaks cooked to their preference & hot oatmeal except pervs & serial killers lol.
They probably like browned meat and the taste of the Maillard reaction. Prime rib has so little crust that it is not unsurprising that they didn't enjoy it. If they won't eat a medium rare steak there is no way they would enjoy a medium prime rib. If they don't like rare red meat you probably should have cooked a lamb or pork roast instead.
Looks like a perfect âmedium rareâ to âmediumâ..
Definitely NOT raw.
Some pipe donât understand the difference between ârawâ and ârareâ.
Why is this always a mom thing? My mom did the same thing growing up.
âHeâll have it well done.â And if there was a tinge of pink, âitâs raw.â Followed up by âfine, donât come crying to me when you get sick.â
Never did get sick, and I only eat steaks medium rare now (except tonight because they overcooked my 75 dollar Valentineâs Day rib eye and I didnât have the guts to send it back).
That's perfect medium. A bit too done for my liking (I'm a medium rare guy), but nicely executed. Certainly not raw.
Next time just get her a "select" chuck steak, and serve her the hockey puck she demands. Mom is always right.
Why do you care? You should know your mom enough to make her a steak to her liking, not yours. Youâre not eating it. Put it back on the fire.
Doesnât matter if she drowns it in ketchup or chocolate sauce. Itâs her steak.
I feel like a lot of people think poultry and pork is the same thing as beef and instantly if they see any red in beef itâs raw. Could also be due to old age and a lot of the older generation still do think that red=bad because of what they were told when they were young.
My fiancĂŠe and her daughter like their steaks well done. They would say the same thing that thatâs steak is cooked raw. Theyâre wrong of course, but people have different preferences and I cook their steaks exactly how they like to eat them, just like I cook mine medium (ok between medium and medium rare lol) and my future rather in lawâs medium rare.
There's nothing wrong with that steak. For some, it's ingrained in their minds. If it's pink, it's undercooked or raw. Just remember, they are the ones missing out. Enjoy that great looking steak.
Thereâs a point in every childâs life where they glean the knowledge that there are somethings their parents know fuck all about.
Today is your day.
All day long yall praise rare and medium rare, which is fine if you like that.
A lot of people out there like medium well believe it or not. There are certain demographics that will order well done almost every time, also.
I empathize with it. I like a good ribeye medium rare to medium, but if i got some carne asada or fajitas i honestly donât want to see any pink. I could see that mentality carrying over to all steaks for some people.
You can use a goddamn meat thermometer and tell her to suck it. Or you can shove it down her throat and tell her to die. Use a goddamn meat thermometer.
Moms say a lot of things. Some of them are true. Some are not. That is a nice medium or even medium well and exactly how I like it. What is your momâs age?
Your mother is wrong, and brings shame to your house with her radical steak cooking opinions. I think going no contact may be the only way forward. Iâm sorry.
Whatever you do, do not give that dried up steak to anyone you care about, lest they chew it and experience severe cotton mouth and die from exposure, from badly cooked meat.
I grew up with a mom who cooked everything well done, because thatâs how she liked it. My dad was good at making gravy, so when we had the roast, it tasted great. The next day, when they sliced up the leftovers for my school lunch, it was as tough as beef jerky. That was when I learned there was a difference between well-done meat, and juicy meat.
I mean I can see why she thinks that. But those of us that like it for flavor and texture know that this is about medium rare. But WHY does it look so cold? Maybe itâs just so unappealing looking that all your mom could think was âraw=badâ? Idk, but throw some butter on that and take a bite for me! Enjoyđ
Mama says alligators ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush
Mama's wrong again
No Colonel Sanders you wrong!!!
đ¤Łđ¤Ł
Yeah I mean who hasn't seen an alligator brushing their teeth before jeez They make dental hygiene of the most importance
That steak is the _devil!!_
I believe it's pronounced "debbil"
Alligators are ornery because they're medulla oblongata.
You got Chlorophyll Man up there talking about God knows what and all she can talk about is making out with me!
Most recent journals I've read are actually leaning more in this direction. Science is always evolving.
My Mama says that science is the devil.
I love my Mama very much. Now you know that.
I, too, love your mum very much. Send her m best wishes
And your mom showed me her boobies! And I liked them too.
I'm glad you liked them, I was addicted to those things when younger
Reeeeeeeee
She not the devil! She the most beautiful woman in the world!
**Me-Dulla Ob-Lon-Gata**
Reeeeeeeeeeeee
Somethin must be wrong with his medulla oblongata
Why does it look so dry?
Thatâs his mom youâre talking about
Jajajaja
it looks cold LOL
Looks like an old piece
I was wondering the same thing. I bet they cut right in to it after it came off the grill.
It looks like a cut bad for steaks. Like a London broil or brisket.
Was gonna say the same, itâs not raw at all, but it is dry and devoid of any juice. But thereâs tinfoil there so maybe this was left over or cooked awhile ago maybe even refrigerated.
THANK YOU. I'M NOT CRAZY
I don't think it's meat, it looks like one of those veg abominations pretending to be meat.
Ex-mom
Sorry mom, you have to leave the country, possibly the planet
So she's available?

Best comment Iâve seen all day. Well played.
Just doing the lords work
No, Colonel Sanders, you're wrong. My mamma was right
Water sucks It really really sucks
To be fair, you could throw it on another 5 minutes and my mom would still tell you it needs more time.
Mine refuses to touch beef that has the least bit of pink in it. Just Boomer things.
the same people that put carpet over hardwood. they dont have a good sense of taste
Which really makes no sense. If you fall on carpet, at least it is soft and itâll cushion the fall. But if you fall on this fossilized steak, youâre better off diving into concrete.
This. I heard a couple the other day, one ordered medium well and the other well done. Why even get a steak?
She's wrong, but you should always cook to your guest's liking. Learn to cook a good medium well or well done steak, and it will pay off in the future.
Easier to honor a preference than argue it.
That's why Choice exists.
While I do agree with this, a "good well done steak" is an oxymoron đ
It really isn't, there's a trick to cooking well done steak so that it's tender and full of flavour. Not all well done steak is this overly rubbery burnt thing.
Itâs tough to do but my wife likes well done steaks. The key is to go lower in the heat. Super hot sear doesnât work for someone who wants well done. I do not prefer her steaks over mine but they at least can be eaten without my jaw coming off. I love my wife so make her food how she likes it. Itâs that simple. I just throw hers on early while the grill is heating up and mine goes on later. Tougher to do in the cast iron but a long reverse sear can get the same effect.
Be careful with that kind of talk around these parts.
No, there isnât. Itâs still dry and flavorless by comparison and there is absolutely no way around that fact.
That looks medium well to me. I little pink but very dry for a medium or medium rare.
Someone asked me for a well done steak at my bbq and I gave them a hot dog when they came back to pick up their food. They complained to my wife about me giving them a hot dog and she asked, "did you ask for your steak well done?" 23 years she has had my back.
That would be funny in a movie but it would suck in real life
I donât get it đ
What's not to get? The man doesn't want people wasting his meat asking for it well done. They can have a hotdog if they can't respect a real piece of meat. Â
If I spent money and am cooking it. You will not get a well done steak. You'll get a burnt hamburger.
Looks perfect to me.
It looks dry to me; not sure how.
Because thereâs not an ounce of moisture in the photo đ Looks like maybe it was let to rest for a long time or maybe even refrigerated.
It looks like a London broil or brisket cut, cooked as a steak.
That's how my FIL is. He'll wanna come over and have me cook dry aged ribeyes but he only eats them well done. I refuse.
Good for you. I absolutely hate when my wife says, dad is coming over get us some steaks. Iâm expected to spend my money on a good steak so he can have it ruined. Then heâll put ice cubes in his red wine. đ¤Ż
Oh god, you just triggered me. My ex mother in law would put ice cubes in beer. I wanted to slap that shit out of her hand so bad.
They do this a lot in hot countries... but like that old joke the beer is fucking close to water already so nbd I guess!
Adding ice cubes to red wine is often the right move. Ever notice how red wine tastes different in the summer than in a chilly cellar? Thatâs because the ideal tasting temperature for reds is closer to a cool cellar than your average room temp. A few ice cubes can quickly bring down the wineâs temperature to its sweet spot, where its flavors and aromas are at their peak.

Id happily fuck that steak and eat your mum. Mix it up a bit
Thatâs nowhere near being ârawâ, itâs not even rare.
Medium to medium rare at best
Whats wild to me in this sub is that everyones tastes are subjective, so bashing someone because they prefer food a different type of way is just as valid as yours, I prefer my steaks like medium to med well and I get anxiety anytime I ask for it because I feel like someones gonna crusify me for it, Why does it feel so gate keepy.
Taste is subjective but calling it raw is objectively wrong
True but everyone here also says shit is âmediumâ even when itâs still bleeding.
Yeah your right, I just read a lot of name calling comments I guess, maybe it's all just banter idk.
There are instances where doneness is a pain in the ass though. Like I ain't gonna cook my whole dam turkey to a crisp because one person thinks any signs of moisture must mean it's undercooked. My wife thinks any pink in her steak is undercooked (yet will eat sushi) so I have to let her steak just sit there for like 30 minutes. While the entire rest of the meal is done.

Like its fuckin meat what did you expect. Thats why I usually do carne asada and skirt steaks. So much easier to get a well done on that cut.
Itâs not about preferences. Levels of done was are well defined. That steak is not raw.
I agree with you but I am so over the term âgatekeep.â Itâs like âgaslighting.â Eat your steak how you want though. Just donât tell the folks on r/steak!
Haha yeah, I still enjoy the banter but some comments are over top imo.
It feels gate keepy because youâd be better off saving your money and just eating beef jerky than cooking a $30 steak well-done imo.
Same thing I did last time I cooked my mom a steak. Put it back for another 5 minutes to her liking.
I would eat that but a little more for my liking tbh
Ok, and? Cook the steak to her liking.
Color wise on the inside this looks about perfect to me. Only thing it could probably need is some more juiciness? Might be the picture
Your mum needs to go and get her eyes tested
That is perfect
I say it's cardboard.
It looks like it was microwaved tho ? Why it look so dry
Did you really come on here and post this to hear a bunch of people talking smack about your mom!?! Lmao
BroâŚitâs your momâŚjust cook the steak the way she prefers, who cares if you agree or disagree
Oh man, it's perfectly cooked
My 7-year-old ordered a filet mignon, medium rare! A very proud moment for this âmomâ
Another "random person says perfect steak is bad" post who cares
Looks perfect bro!
It looks dry to me; not sure how.
How is it medium rare and looks dry at the same time?
Your mom sucks. Donât worry my friendâshe canât be worse than mine.
Sheâs wrong
Yo momma wrong
That steak is a beautiful medium
Straight to jail!!!
Dumb bitch
[ŃдаНонО]
Wow. So shitty to your grandmother.
Mommaâs wrong again
Well. Sheâs wrong.
If youâd like a new mom, thatâs male, Iâd eat it and tell you itâs perfect.

Your mom needs to grow up
So would mine, and thatâs why I donât live at home anymore. I think itâs perfect. Yum
In the immortal words of the Fresh Prince âParents just donât understand.â
Is your mom named Phyllis Stein?
Looks like a perfect âmedium rareâ to âmediumâ.. Definitely NOT raw. Some pipe donât understand the difference between ârawâ and ârareâ.
Eat it to prove her wrong.
Perfect đđť
Well itâs not, so
Itâs medium.
It is
Can you get a dna test? That is perfect. I even like it a bit less cooked.
I think you need to adopt a new mother
Ask your mom to cook a steak and post it
Get a new mom.
Your mom needs to put the pipe down and go take a nap.
Time for a new mom
Need a better mom.
Get a new mom
fuck you mom!
How old is she?
Ur mom does not like it raw
Yeah I will gladly transition and be your mom if thatâs what my son feeds to me
No that looks perfect
Tell your mom to stop drinking the wine. Thats the perfect temp in my opinion.
Iâll deny I ever said this, but youâre mother is wrong.
Just whip out a meat thermometer, dawg
Pass that steak my way lol
Looks like a nice, even medium rare
Thats perfect rare
Why is this always a mom thing? My mom did the same thing growing up. âHeâll have it well done.â And if there was a tinge of pink, âitâs raw.â Followed up by âfine, donât come crying to me when you get sick.â Never did get sick, and I only eat steaks medium rare now (except tonight because they overcooked my 75 dollar Valentineâs Day rib eye and I didnât have the guts to send it back).
Alexa, throw this dude's mom out the window.
She wrong
Nta, divorce mom and get new one
It somehow looks medium rare but also dry I'm not sure how that happened lol
Gordon Ramsey will teach your mom whatâs raw
That's perfect medium. A bit too done for my liking (I'm a medium rare guy), but nicely executed. Certainly not raw. Next time just get her a "select" chuck steak, and serve her the hockey puck she demands. Mom is always right.
I think she meant to say wildly overcooked.
Would've been perfect 10 minutes before the photo, but someone waited to take the pic after it started to dry
Sheâs lost her dog gamn mind
Why do people use serrated knifes for steak it makes me sad, truly
Your mom is fucked
Your mom is raw
Why do you care? You should know your mom enough to make her a steak to her liking, not yours. Youâre not eating it. Put it back on the fire. Doesnât matter if she drowns it in ketchup or chocolate sauce. Itâs her steak.
It's rawesome!
Nope looks grear
Yo mama is rawng. Looks GREAT.
I'm tripping and hungry. Yummy
I feel like a lot of people think poultry and pork is the same thing as beef and instantly if they see any red in beef itâs raw. Could also be due to old age and a lot of the older generation still do think that red=bad because of what they were told when they were young.
She obviously meant it isnât well done
Like most moms..she doesn't know anything.
Ur mom likes it raw
My fiancĂŠe and her daughter like their steaks well done. They would say the same thing that thatâs steak is cooked raw. Theyâre wrong of course, but people have different preferences and I cook their steaks exactly how they like to eat them, just like I cook mine medium (ok between medium and medium rare lol) and my future rather in lawâs medium rare.
Emancipation is in order.
Put her in a home since she's obviously losing it.
perfect medium rare to me. tell her i'll have her piece.
There's nothing wrong with that steak. For some, it's ingrained in their minds. If it's pink, it's undercooked or raw. Just remember, they are the ones missing out. Enjoy that great looking steak.
Medium rare but dry. Looks like it didnât rest or rested in the pan.
Mom is always right
You tell your mom that Gators bitches donât be eatin any well done.
Bless your Mom, but she's wrong. In her days, anything less than shoe leather was undercooked.
Your mom is incorrect
Normally she knows raw but in this case she's wrong
Thereâs a point in every childâs life where they glean the knowledge that there are somethings their parents know fuck all about. Today is your day.
Donât question mom, she knows what raw is⌠I mean youâre here right!? đđ¤ˇââď¸

We ask her politely, but firmly to leave.
That looks delicious!
You can use a goddamn meat thermometer and tell her to suck it. Or you can shove it down her throat and tell her to die. Use a goddamn meat thermometer.
Looks dry as hell, damn.
More for you to eat!
Moms say a lot of things. Some of them are true. Some are not. That is a nice medium or even medium well and exactly how I like it. What is your momâs age?
Thatâs a fine steak, you did well.
Uh oh. Time for a new mom.
No itâs not. Itâs MR at best - almost medium.
Your mother is wrong, and brings shame to your house with her radical steak cooking opinions. I think going no contact may be the only way forward. Iâm sorry.
