I knew a dude who refused to eat chicken unless it was very pink in the middle. He bought low quality bargain meat too, I don't know he never got sick.

I used to think this way till I tried rarer steaks.
Now it depends on the cut.
Rib-eye? Oh you better believe it's medium-rare.
A prime filet: Always rare.

Still Can't/Won't eat anything blue though.


It really does depend on how much fat and connective tissue is on there. Some cuts are just not made for being eaten rare, like chuck.





All steak pales in the face of good brisket though.

Another "cruel dish" concerned the carving up of a live donkey, a practice, Jiang said, that still persists among farmers in some villages in Henan and Hebei provinces.

The legs and head of a donkey were held by cords fixed to five poles. The diners could choose meat from whichever part of the donkey they wanted.

A butcher would pour boiling water onto the part selected, remove the hair and cut the meat off while the donkey was still alive. The process was similar to an ancient torture called "ling chi", to put a person to death by slow dismemberment.

It's a liability issue in a lot of chain restaurants. They may have a disclaimer in the menu saying that anything cooked to order has the potential to harbor foodborne bacteria, but when it comes down to it they won't cook it rare. I've asked for rare and they do look at me like I'm high and just say "pink or not pink?"

So essentially they don't know what rare means if they do that. I just ask for as rare as possible. Usually they will cook it medium and won't question me about it. The only time I got a steak that was truly rare was from Anthony Bourdain's restaurant in Washington DC.

Same goes with burgers and apparently a restaurant that's willing to cook a burger rare actually grinds their beef in-house. Bobby's Burger Palace warns people that when you ask for rare, the burger is really really rare because I guess people who ask for rare burgers are used to restaurants cooking them medium. That rare burger was awesome, by the way.

I remember going to a restaurant with my family in the mid 90s when I was a kid and my dad actually had to sign a waiver for us to get our steaks rare.

I don't prefer blue or super rare steaks, but I don't begrudge people for liking meat to their preference; I just get weirded out when people buy relatively expensive cuts and blast them to hell.

You should try some sous vide steaks if you want easy mode steak doneness. Hot water at temp, glowing hot pan, and a cheap propane torch form the hardware store, and you can get some really superbly finished meats, including medium-rare pork chops and chicken breast you can cut with the side of a fork, with minimal meat myth bullshittery.

SORRY FOR THE SOUS VIDE DERAIL I AM SORRY IN ADVANCE PLEASE DO NOT ATTACK ME FOR CHALLENGING YOUR GREAT GRANDPAPPY'S MEAT RECIPE

I have a sous vide at home and can confirm this is the best way to do steak. I can take a 2 inch thick slice of chuck steak, sous vide at medium rare for 1 full day then sear the poo poo out of it. I haven't tried doing it with a torch yet but I'm thinking about trying it on super hot charcoal soon

I really need to try sous vide at some point, because right now sight unseen all I can picture is steak boiled until it's a gray hockey puck that falls apart into mush when you poke it.

It's not like the streets of China are lined with tortured, half-eaten donkeyzombies. I'm pretty sure you would have to look long and hard and pay a shitton of money to see something like that, assuming they'd even let a laowai see something that could potentially cause bad press.

That's why you sear it after it's finished. You get a perfectly cooked cut of meat that's nearly impossible to screw up.

I don't even have a wand mixer yet. So I feel like I'm a long ways away from working my way up the tech tree towards sous vide. It does seem like an interesting curiosity, and it's gonna be nice to look back on it as a fad in 10 years.

It looks really bad before the sear; the outside of red meats gets greyish, but the inside is amazing. The food is ALWAYS at the right temp throughout, however, and you physically cannot lose flavours to water or being burned off; I cook fajitas in the mojo, but since it's so low temp, nothing changes the flavors of the marinade until the meat touches the grill. This leads to some REALLY intense flavours being cooked into whatever you're making while shortening the marinade time.

You don't need fancy gadgets for sous vide, though it makes it easier. I did it in an unfinished apartment out of a pot on the stove and Ziplocs, and my mother did it the first time in an ice chest; as long as you have a way to tell the temp of the water, it's not particularly challenging to do over any other way of preparing foods, nor is it particularly time consuming as most things are pasteurized after about 45 minutes.

It has the benefit of being really easy to keep time managed; e.g. if you're cooking for someone and they're late, or if you're grilling for a party -- less time is spent searing and checking, and more time preparing other dishes or hanging out.

I think the key part of the success of that steak might be the "5 month aged grass fed ribeye" part, not the "sautee it in some butter" part which seems fairly elementary.
