My FIL likes "medium well" I don't think ive ever seen him cut into a steak and be happy with how it was cooked.

CowDoc could revive mine.

That's a good looking ribeye but it's just a little too rare for me.

I was in college before I had my first rare steak. We raised our own beef when I was growing up. My momma chicken friedT-bones.

Couple years back during the drought and the big beef sell off, H-E-B had prime ribeyes and NY strips for 9.99/lb. I had the butcher cut me 5 lbs of each in 1/4 to 1/3in cuts and chicken fried them all. Best chicken fried steak ever.

Absolutely perfect....

I’d eat it, and if there were any left, the leftovers would be even better.

I’d say that’s a little on the rare side of medium rare.

I believe the reason people order steaks at restaurants and are never happy with them is because most people have a different idea of what rare, medium and well done are.
Some people like it bleu but they don’t know what that is.

I agree that most people don't know what finish they actually like, but I'm in the other direction. Most people think their steaks are under-cooked, rather than over-cooked. That's the fault of most chain steak houses over-cooking steaks. The steak in this post is definitely not rare. It's medium rare pushing a little closer to medium in my opinion. He even said it was cooked to 135°F. I you go back and look at the picture a good 25% of the steaks is gray on top and bottom and pretty red in the middle. Although, some of it could just be the lighting in the picture. Steakhouses are dark so steaks look less gray and more red.
