Closer to rare than medium-rare, but not fully rare. Very light seasoning if it's a good cut, I like to be able to enjoy the meat as it is. Anything but beef needs to be cooked through though, I can't eat it if the muscle fibers aren't separated.
 
The only way I'll eat well-done unground beef is if it's a pot roast.

Does that even count as steak? It's beef, of course. There are also a few tough-ish cuts of steak like skirt steak. You don't really want to overdo them, but they're generally marinaded for a fairly long time and seared at a really high temperature briefly. Also if you chop them up for fajitas it's generally going to be well-ish.

There's also stuff like swiss "steak," which I question whether it's really steak. I know they often call cuts like round "steak" but I generally think of steak as the higher quality cuts that should never be served more well done than medium, if that.
 
Medium rare, but that's mostly because I'm fucking up my technique.

I get a scorching hot cast iron pan, with a bed of kosher salt. The salt, then the steak, then some pepper and butter. I've been going 1.5 minutes a side, but I should go more for 1 minute a side.

Deglaze the pan with wine for a pan sauce.

Cabernet Sauvignon.

Accompanied by roasted vegetables (mushrooms, brussels sprouts, asparagus, minced garlic) and potatoes. Some generic italian seasoning, salt, pepper, lots of olive oil. Pop it in the oven. (Occasionally if I'm feeling really indulgent/fancy I'll cook up a pound of bacon and substitute the pig lard for the olive oil.)

This dinner is both easy and a panty-dropper.
 
Rare is best IMO
Medium rare and medium are fine too.
Raw/blue is just as good as rare IMO

I love me some medium rare/medium well steak with some char on the outside.

My mom cooks them well done in the oven because she's paranoid of getting parasites no matter how many times I've told her it won't happen. It's decent, but if I don't feel any softness I won't eat it.

lmao wait your mum goes through all the trouble of cooking you steaks and if it's not cooked to your personal preference you refuse to eat it what kind of horrible spoiled-ass baby are you?
 
To all my friends who reject steaks their mothers cook for them. You have 2 months to eat that steak. After that, if you don't do not consider us friends. I want you dead. I want your families dead. I want your wives, husbands children and grandchildren dead. Not just dead but horrible painful deaths. Torturous cancers - bone, brain. Burning alive in a fire. Drownings. Wives and daughters or should I say cunts as you fussy eaters like to call them should be brutally raped first. All before you have your own agonizing death. If you're NEET and live with your parents but i know you're turning down steaks I want the same for you but you don't get a grace period.

To the rest of the people rejecting steaks I hope the land runs red with your families blood. I will cheer at every natural disaster that takes you out. The higher the death toll the better. Every infant or toddler found floating face down after a flood is a victory for me. Every twisted body found in the rubble of your home after a tornado is like a cherry on an ice cream sundae. Every school shooting will be joyous news for me. I will no longer support or cook steaks for you - ham, spam, meatloaf and giant portabellos are better anyway.

I will not support our troops. Every dead service man is a victory for me.

You spoke @MissMorbid. Now choke on your own putrid vomit. Just don't speak to me unless it's through my joy from your bloodshed.

Nice pasta adaptation. Much more effort than these things usually get.

I'm sorry for dishonoring you. I'll be sure to commit Sudoku soon.
 
My dad used to make our steaks a way I loved. Seasoned with only salt and pepper and mostly rare. We usually had potatoes with them, so I still like to eat them this way if I feel nostalgic.
Lately, I've started liking them most when they're medium rare, and I like seasoning with some herbs and spices, but only lightly, to preserve that steak flavor. Favorite sides are potatoes and vegetables.

Salt, pepper, and maybe a bit of crushed garlic rubbed on them is all they need.
 
Has anyone here tasted a dry aged steak before? I'm considering attempting the process at home and want to know if it's worth it. There's a restaurant that serves dry aged steak dinners, but it's like $40-$50 and I could get a decent bone-in rib-eye for that price.

It's pretty tricky to dry age steak at home. You need a pretty precise setup, you can't just do it in your fridge.

Depending on where you are, you can buy dry aged steaks in certain grocery stores.
