The steak poll

[Jaron]

This reminds me of a company dinner we had. 70% or so of our staff is female. There were two main courses to choose from, and many chose the "beef carpaccio". It was one of the best I ever had, but it was embarrassing how many ladies grimaced at the sight of their food, and many didn't eat it, with two or three even complaining to the waiters that their food was "undercooked".

There is a reason they are inferior.  @vaginae

Medium/medium rare. Burgers I prefer cooked a little more - medium to medium well.

You know what, well done. If you people don't like it, you can kiss my rosy red ass.

Ain't no skin off my teeth if you want to ruin your steak.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

Medium, unless I know it's a really nice cut, the med-rare.

[Admiral Yi]

If the cut is nasty enough to warrant ordering medium I'd rather have the meat loaf.

I've never had any luck getting good meat loaf in a restaurant. Always tastes vile to me.

Most places reserve some of the less-good cuts in the cooler just for people who order well-done.

[katmai]

medium rare.

Why would they do this? They get their money for the steak either way. This would be a lawsuit if it happened to me.

So the average quality of the served steak would increase?  Well-done steaks aren't particularly fussy about the quality of meat, while rare steaks from the bad cut can be a nightmare to eat.

Medium.

Had to look up this on google since I had no idea what it was. Needless to say if I ordered beef and that showed up on my table I'd be absolutely nauseated.

[Agelastus]

Rare, occasionally medium rare.

Conversely, having also had to look it up, my reaction is that I would really like to try it.

Your loss, carpaccio is delicious.
