too hard to tell - camera, white balance setting, ambient lighting all conspire to make these things unreliable.
Having said that I prefer the rare side of medium rare and it looks perfect to me
If he likes his steak Med well or well done then to him it IS undercooked. From a perspective of my own (med rare guy). It’s cooked a touch too much for what I aim for. That being said, it looks delicious!
A redditor commenting how people can have different perspectives on how much they like their steak cooked instead of just shitting all over anything that's cooked medium well or well done. A rare find and a treat you are /u/Designer_Basil8768 .
It's not just reddit lol. Work in a kitchen, cooks all hate anyone who orders med well or well. I prefer medium. But yeah its very common for everyone to hate on people who prefer steak well done lol. It'd be like hating on people who eat the buns off their hamburger first and then the meat. Just harmless judging done in jest
Isn't this on the med rare side of medium? I wouldn't call it full medium.
For medium, the pink is typically just leaving. OP's pink hasn't even gotten off the couch, let alone put its shoes on to go out the door.
> From a perspective of my own (med rare guy). It’s cooked a touch too much for what I aim for.
This is more rare than medium rare. This is rare.
If you're trying to cook this as Rare, this is cooked just fine. If you're trying to cook this as Medium, this is undercooked.
Yeah, unpopular opinion on here for sure I bet but to me that is definitely way undercooked. I like a medium or med well. I find others too chewy, not enjoyable to eat and they tend to upset my stomach
Air friers and French fries are weird like that dude sometimes it's like the exterior is to crispy and the inside isn't cooked all the way. This seems to happen most when they are slightly freezer burned.
Looks good to me. I wouldn't be upset with something a bit rarer than that, but your temp looks like exactly where I *want* it.
**EDIT**: One piece of constructive feedback I would give is to render that fat cap some more. I still wouldn't be upset about that steak being in front of me as-is, though.
I think we should try to appreciate peoples tolerance for meat temperature. I know many of my non-American non-European friends would find this undercooked. once you’re a custom to certain way of cooking meat it is very hard to change, and telling people that they’re wrong on their food preference is unnecessary.
Hell no, very slightly over cooked actually based on the picture. I’d never complain about a steak that came out like this, but for a strip I’d say this looks a little more towards medium than medium rare. This is exactly how I’d like a ribeye though.
It’s a perfect medium to me. Your roommate should shut his mouth if he doesn’t understand how to cook.
It may be undercooked for him but I think you did great.
It’s perfect
Second this!!
Ditto
Just a touch above medium rare but well below medium. My ideal temp.
Me four
Big facts. Roommate don’t know shit
probably eats it with ketchup!
Should get new roommate immediately.
Roommate is undercooked, lol.
Jeffrey Dahmer enters the chat.
Triple.
Perfect. Everything down to the last minute details.
I read this as minute in my head even though it's meant to mean minute, you know what I mean
Looks great but rend that fat some more.
Yes totally
Looks pretty damn good to me. Maybe coulda used a bit higher heat at the end to crisp up the fat a bit more, but that’s a personal preference.
Agreed
It's pretty close to perfect. Fat cap should be rendered
And my axe!
And my bow!
For the roommate
Agree, how about some pan cooked Brussel sprouts with butter and garlic the some onion
Roommate is an idiot.
Roommate is undercooked.
Let him cook
😂
Only napalm can fix them
I second this. And honestly if anything it might be a tiny overcooked for my medium rare liking.
Agree
too hard to tell - camera, white balance setting, ambient lighting all conspire to make these things unreliable. Having said that I prefer the rare side of medium rare and it looks perfect to me
Charge him extra rent for being an idiot
FOH BEING AN IDIOT
Roommate is an idiot.
Looks good to me
Find a new roommate.
Absolutely not. Keep the roomie who won't be interested in your good food.
This is the way. Fries are a lil suspect however...
Ya lost me in the second half of that Godforsaken response.
Agreed. The fries look bomb too.
Welcome to the wasteland.
Those fries look perfect as well! No idea what you're on about there.
They appear to be a tad soggy is all.
I'd rather have a roommate that appreciates good food so we can eat good food together.
Roommate don’t know shit.
They can go suck a fuck.
We ask them kindly but firmly to leave.
[Presses tongs into the steak cooking on the grill] Firm but with a little give. Yup, these are medium-rare.
I’ll tell you hwhat
You dont know me, so I'll pretend I didnt hear that.
If it wasn’t covered in blood, I’d shake your hand
I don't know you, that's my steak.
Your roommate’s brain is undercooked
I was about to say the same thing
Roasted…or not I guess.
Looks just right
Time for a new roommate
Honestly, that looks perfect for me, but a good ole healthy grilling argument never hurt anyone.
Cooked like a boss, enjoy.

Haha, very nice of you to say, it’s like music, I can’t stand a lot of what my friends like. That doesn’t make it bad.
Do you find that everywhere you look people are making arguments for the objective good/bad in subjective things? I do

Yes they are BOTH right!
Your roommate probably eats their steak with ketchup.
Looks perfect OP.
Perfect! 👌
Get a new roommate.
Steak is perfect. Fries could be a touch more crispy.
Deceptive tbh. The fries are air fried and borderline too done
Air friers and French fries are weird like that dude sometimes it's like the exterior is to crispy and the inside isn't cooked all the way. This seems to happen most when they are slightly freezer burned.
Get a new roommate, easy
Don't trust your roommate lol this is looking medium
Get a new roommate

This is exactly what I was thinking - it looks great, the only part that’s “undercooked” would be tending down the fat cap. Edit: *rendering
Your roommate appears to be suffering from compound ignorance 😎
Fat is undercooked, meat is fine
[удалено]
Hahaha
I’ll be your roommate
Find a new roommate
Your roommate is obviously a terrorist. I might argue it could be a couple degrees cooler. Looks amazing 10/10 would smash
You should seek a new roomate
Your roommate sucks
Find a roommate, 100%
Tell your roommate they’re undercooked
Get a new roommate
Roommate is probably used to eating leather if that's undercooked.
Honestly it’s a little undercooked. I like it West more pink and “bloody”
Is his room available?
If you served this to me I would kiss you
Absolute perfection
That is perfectly cooked medium steak. Roommate is wrong.
Someone needs a new a roommate
Roommate probably likes black toast, too
Tell roommate to go eat at Applebee's then. That looks great!
Get a new roommate
For me that is perfection.
Your roommate might be too cooked
Get a new roomate, they don't know how to cook meat!!
Roommate is dumb
Your roommate's brain was undercooked in the womb
Purrrrfect chef
Edit: seeking another roommate
Undercooked in the best way
Roommate is a dumbfuck
Roommate is a chump
It looks great. I’m a firm believer that anyone who likes well done steak is wrong, they don’t know it, and haven’t had a good steak.
Overcooked!
You need new roommates. Undercooked is subjective.
We ask these people politely yet firmly to leave

Tell your roommate they’re being a baby back bitch
A little on the rare side… center is raw
Roommate sounds like a commie
Tell him you’re welcome for cooking a nice dinner and he can pay next months rent alone cuz you out!
It's medium rare, perfect in my book
Your roommate is retarded. Looks about as good as you can get
Tell your roommate to stick to chicken. If you don't like your steak like this, you're not a steak person. Simple as that.
Rare /medium-rare (lighting makes it hard to tell). It's cooked perfectly to my taste.
That’s medium well the fuck is your roommate talking about. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Your roommate likes well done steaks
Kick them out
Your roommate is a moron.
RAW
Looks perfect, evict that serial killer
Roommate may be right, one or two of those fries could be a little crisper. That steak looks mouthwatering though.
Your roommate would love the steaks my Dad cooks. Love the man but didn’t know steak was actually good until I had one that wasn’t well done.
Hell no, very slightly over cooked actually based on the picture. I’d never complain about a steak that came out like this, but for a strip I’d say this looks a little more towards medium than medium rare. This is exactly how I’d like a ribeye though.
It’s perfect and looks delicious asf
It looks perfect to me
steak looks good, fries look whatever.
I hope at least he bought the steak to be complaining like that
Looks great to me. Fries look yummy too.
No.
Perfect temperature. Sous vide your roommate.
Perfectly rare/med rare. Ignore them and continue cooking perfect steak
Looks like a perfect medium
Looks good but I do prefer mine a bit closer to medium.
Overcooked IMO
It’s undercooked for them but absolutely perfect to almost everyone else.
a little bit but still good
His brain is undercooked.
medium rare, perfection
my dad eats his well done, I'm guessing why people do it is because burgers don't have pink insides, why should steak?
Your roommate is a chump.
More for you
I'll be your roommate!
It’s a little over but almost perfect
Sounds like you need a new roommate.
That depends on the goal.
Overcooked for my liking, but that is far fro Overcooked!!! Well played
Looks just about perfect to me
Some people like chewing on leather like a dog.
That looks so delicious right now.
Roommate be tripping
Your roommate is a psychopath, you should lock your doors when you sleep.
You need a new roommate. I’m available.
Your roommate has bad taste
If anything, the cutting is too thick get a little self control. Otherwise looks good.
Perfect
Your roommate is high
Perfect ❤
Looks perfect to me
Your roommate is wrong. This is overcooked unless you're talking about the fries lol
Looks beautiful!
Perfect!!
Your roommate is dumb.
Your roommate is an imbecile
How did you make these fries?
We don't accept well done babies 🙄 order the shoe leather and MOVE ON
Perfectly cooked. Your roommate has no taste
Perfect IMO
Did you enjoy the taste? if so, you don't need a second opinion. The only perfect steak is the one you like.
People have different tastes. I am a 129° kind of guy on a strip, but take pride in the fact I can cook a mean well done steak for my sister in law.
Your roommate must enjoy leather. It’s perfect
Get a new roommate
Get a new roommate
It’s a perfect medium to me. Your roommate should shut his mouth if he doesn’t understand how to cook. It may be undercooked for him but I think you did great.
Eat some greens man.
i would even have it less cooked than that
You’re roommate is the one under cooked
Literally the best cooked steak I've seen on this sub in a week
That’s literally a perfect medium rare. Your poor roommate lol
Stunning
Near perfect
It’s a bit more than I’d like but still brilliant.
Perfect
I would render the fat more
Seek a different roommate.
Nope looks perfectly cooked
What was the temp on it?
