Are you sure that this is really about the temperature? It sounds more like you just don't like steak. You'd probably be happier with a roast.

Didn't take it out on us just because your mom doesn't know how to cook steak.

Anyone who eats a steak well done should apologise profusely to the cow whose lofe was sacrificed for that steak

Some good cuts of pork can be eaten slightly pink though. Not anywhere near medium rare, just medium well i guess

by ivory39 1 month ago

The word often applied to pork is "rosy." Just the lightest brush of pink in the centre.

medium rare pork is 145 degrees. that's medium for beef. totally acceptable.

Pork is considered more safe at lower temperatures now than it used to be.

Oh, sweet. My mom worked in the food industry for years up until a few years back so I'm going off of perhaps outdated motherly info.

I suppose my point is that if it meets safety standards then it IS fully cooked. There are simply degrees of "fully cooked".

Bet you're scared of sushi too aren't you?

§People tell me they're too dry, but this is what steak tastes like when it's fully cooked through That's, uh.. That's why we don't do it. Eating it straight out of the package is gross/taboo, but barely searing the outside somehow makes it delicious? I just don't get it. Harmful bacteria can form on the outside. Not so much inside provided its fresh enough.

It's because the outside has been exposed to oxygen, allowing for bacterial growth. The inside hasn't.

Oh great, so I can just cut the outside edges off your steak and serve it to you raw then. Cant get sick.

Are you aware of what steak tartare is?

by Anonymous 1 month ago

Risky. Hope its fresh.

by That_Worldliness_335 1 month ago

That's one of the prerequisites for tartare. Fresh meat that was minced literally moments before it gets sent to the table. No leaving it to sit around so bacteria can grow. It's not any more risky than a blue steak.

Tell me you've never had a quality steak, without telling me you've never had a quality steak...

Cooking it medium to medium rare retains more vitamins. That's a big reason for some people.

by Kurtokeefe 1 month ago

A steak cut doesn't contain many vitamins. The only considerable vitamin would be B12 and the amount loss between medium to well-done won't be considerable. For example, a T-Bone steak is 22.5% protein, 5.5% fat, and 72% water. A 100g steak has around 1.8mg Iron (10% of daily need). And iron is also relatively resistant to heating/cooking. That's one of the reasons why it's terrible to live on a meat-only diet. It has no carbs, no unsaturated fats, no vitamins/minerals, no fiber, no phytochemicals or necessary enzymes.
