My childhood best friend's dad always said to send his steak out so raw you could slap a band-aid on it and put it back out to pasture.

That's why the only steaks i eat are those that can be prepared somewhere between medium and well done, the rest are better in a stew anyway.

I did eat a few small pieces of "well done" beef and while it was ok the fact that it was still bloody in the middle almost made me vomit.

I go with “I want it to moo when I stab it”, but I actually would eat it raw, and have on many occasions (not from restaurant, but directly from a butcher)

But it’s been almost a decade since I ate a slab of meat. It just doesn't agree with my digestive system, and constipation for days isn't worth it. Im not strictly vegetarian, but as long as eggs don't count, I’m vegetarian probably 75% of days with the rest being pre-made meals or things people prepare for me, and a burger a few times a month. I’m not paying the premium for a beyond or impossible when they always taste freezer burned around here because they aren’t popular, but if they have a veg patty or black bean, I usually get that.

Looks to be prime rib. It's not raw, just rare. It's supposed to look like that. And no the liquid is not blood.

yeah pretty sure that's blood/grease mix. blood from the rare meat, and grease from the improperly rendered fat.

while I'd eat the shit outta that because I love blue steak, rare for when the servers look at me confused, I'd love to hear what you thinkt hat red pool of liquid is atop the very rare meat if it's not blood.

I'd forgo the potato but frig yeah, a hau ch of meat that size would be amazingly great meal. throw a side salad on there and bam... keto friendly meal, tons of pristine and energy to hit the gym and work on some core strength.

I lost 50+lbs in 5 months eating food like this. 10chicken legs and salad, whole racks of pork ribs and salad, 1-2kg of beef and a salad.

those were my dinners for months. lost weight, had more energy then ever. felt so much better then when I ate carbs. didn't feel like bloated bleh after eating, even that much

I'm not sure if it's the lighting or the camera, but on the left picture the prime rib is almost hot pink. Rare is fine, but that cut looks terrible.

I rather have my meat cooked. Fully herbed and sauced and spiced to perfection.

Yes, it is tender enough to eat with a spoon.

That’s not a steak, it’s a cut from a prime rib roast.

Churchill apocryphally liked his martinis so dry he wanted a glance at the vermouth bottle while pouring the gin.

Low and slow roasted to not overcook it.

Well technically, they didn't say it was great, not even that it was good. Just that they're still full, which I believe

If you put it aside it won't coagulate, it's not blood. It's myoglobin as the other poster said, proteins from the meat. Blood is drained from meat before it is butchered.

No need to be rude, like, maybe he just really wanted to use the word exsanguination and found a sentence that it fit.

I've made the mistake of ordering filet minion rare. It's such a tender cut that the inside is just almost gummy when cooked rare.

lol I always change the ingredients because I know most recipes can have altered ingredients without issue. baking is another story.

I also wouldn't even leave a review, for anything. it's a pointless thing to do.

my food never comes out shit. following the recipes, especially online... that results in shit. a LOT of blog recipes are absolute garbage and need to be changed.. esp American ones. add 8lbs of butter, 7 cups of corn syrup, a drop of red food coloring and now you have your steak marinade. uhh, no thanks.

a haunch is a whole thigh or something equivalent. this most certainly qualifies as a haunch
