Is it wasteful to cook prime beef past med-rare?

    My personal preference is a major cut of beef will always be cooked to medium rare. You want it more done? I'll slice you off a piece and heat it up some more. You want it done more and you want leftovers? The nuker will take it to medium or more done, you're getting a med rare slice for a left over.

    Steaks? I'll cook yours however you want but if you want it well done the next time you come over I might not get as nice a cut as I normally would

      We did a rib roast today for Xmas dinner. Everyone in the family is good with medium rare, except my BiL To meet his well done preference I give him the two end slices…and if I’m feeling generous, as I was tonight, I’ll toss a slice or two more in the cast iron skillet to brown up.

      He was very happy with the “modified” slices he got, and everyone else was happy with the “properly cooked” 😉😁 roast.

      If it were more people who wanted more well done I’d probably split the roast and leave one portion on longer. Since it’s one of eleven I’m fine pan frying a few slices.

        Cook Prime rib roast to Rare, or Medium Rare and microwave slices to other likings.

        Fact: "The best-cooked meat is cooked how you like it."
        And if you like it Medium Rare as I do, please feel free to poke fun at those who don't---as I do. 😛😜😁

          I show the slices that need to be "done more" on a hot skillet and I fry it up for them. Or I will throw them on the grill. it is a shame, but people gotta eat. I, guess.

            It is okay, cook to put a smile on their faces.
            To me at least, that is what counts.

            I could not agree more.

          Argentina leads the world in per capita beef consumption, their 103 lbs per capita in 2023 almost doubling the USA’s 58 lbs per capita.

          Argentines prefer their beef bien cocido: well done. They cook it slowly, over an open fire, with absolutely no pink whatsoever.

            Interesting. I just learned something.

          I worked at a restaurant that did prime rib on the weekend . When some fool asked for more than MED, we dipped it in warm au jus until it was just right. Then, any leftovers became the best beef barley soup on Monday and Tuesday.

            Ditto. No way to uncook beef, but a little color goes a long way.

            Sounds like the orig Sous Vide to me.

          My dearly departed Dad always had to have his steak well done. That was rough for me, but I could handle it. It was the load of ketchup on that well done steak that always got me. Of course, I'd happily grill up a well done steak with a side of ketchup to have him back.

            Amen. Same. Dad didn’t do ketchup though. Salt and pepper only.
