If you normally order medium-well, I'd stick to that with those, and next time you want a splurge dinner, go to a good local steakhouse (Harris's would be my recommendation here in the Bay Area; Keen's back in New York[*]... Ruth's Chris if you need a national chain, I'm sure others can make recommendations for other places.)
Then try that medium, or even medium-rare.
