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.

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.
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.
