Why is nobody surprised

[rusticgal]

Medium for me...slight redness in the middle keeps the steak succulent and juicy....and filet is my favourite cut.

Well done to the point of "hockey puck" for me. Sorry LT...

[Jamie89]

Well done + fat

I used to work in restaurants and chefs HATE it when people order well done, it's just nicer though imo.

It's flavourless and chewy yuck

Medium-well every time but I could go for medium for sure. Anything less than medium grosses me out and well done is too dry.

Also I just finished lunch & now I'm super hungry again after reading this

There's nothing worse than spending 6 hours trying to chew your meat.

I usually give up after about 10 minutes, can't get my head down far enough

It depends. On the quality of the steak, the cut, the quality of the place, whether I'm having sauce as I dont like blood in the sauce etc.

My daughter like this dodgy place, ordered a steak from there I had a bite and was still chewing it 10 minutes later so I'd be quite fussy about how I'd have a steak at that restaurant but if I was going to a better place then I'd leave it to the chef. If I went to franchise place it would depend on the cut of meat - There's not point in having a fillet mignon anything over medium rare but a rib eye or rump is probably better cooked beyond medium rare. So it all depends.

Dirty sket!

Medium I ask for.

Unless abroad, then I ask for welldone but this means it comes medium. Everytime I have ordered medium abroad it has came almost raw :S

I do cut the fat off though. Cannot imagine not doing that, would be gross

Ah yes, not often I have that but I agree. I was at some michellin star place with my dad and ordered this and he death stared me when I asked for medium, so I got ir rare and oh my god. Was the best thing I have ever tasted.

Had never had it before so just assumed it would be like a rump/sirloin. Have had it twice since, always rare.

Wish I could afford to eat at places like that more often tbh. Only went there as he was paying

[LemonJam]

Rare tbh

cutting off fat reduces the flavour dramatically

But...filet mignon has no fat on at all and the flavour is amazing

Nah, could never sit for ages trying to munch through a lump of fat.

[Jack_]

Medium rare every time for me

I eat the fat but much prefer the fat on lamb chops and bacon tbh

[Vicky.]

Ah I love the fat on bacon. As long as its crispy though

Its far too expensive for me to have too often too. Agree though if its on the menu I always take a look then decide its too pricey
