This is a true story.
My dad had a boss for many years who enjoyed grilling meats for his family and friends. He would always buy Prime or CAB at his local butcher and everyone always enjoyed his cooking. His mother-in-law was often a guest and she would request that her steak be cooked well done everytime - "If I see red meat or blood I can't eat it!" she'd say. This went on for 35 years.
In her advanced age, the woman had begun to lose her vision and was still persistant in her requests for well done steaks. Feeling a bit ornery one night he decided to cook the steaks how he damn well pleased and served everyone at the table a perfectly medium rare CAB filet, including his mother-in-law. After a few bites into the steak that she could not see, his mother-in-law said, "Aubrey, you must be going to a new butcher shop because this steak is fantastic!"
That said . . . "How would you like your Steak?"
Me? Depends on cut I guess. Filet I'll take more on rare side. Rib eye I like a medium. Prime rib I can't decline an end cut but love mopping rare to medium rare chunks in the juice. Carne asada for me is char crispy but still juicy - somewhat medium-ish.
