Sorry to hear that but I doubt that was the cause. The outside of the steak is the place most likely to have any bacteria and that is burned no matter what. The inside is not really exposed to the environment. Ground meat is an entirely different story obviously. I would think food poisoning from steak is very rare (

It was a few years before I went back to Outback. I missed the tomato salad dressing.

Back to topic -- while I've liked the gorgonzola on top of a steak, I tend to agree with Nick & gagdetfreak....I tend to order it on top of a "lesser cut" or something I'd fix at home.

Although my local steak restaurant, Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon now refuse to cook it that way as they feel it's a health and safety issue.

What's a bleu steak? If I listen carefully, will I still hear it moo?

Had the NY Sirloin from Gibson's here in Chicago on Sunday and I was quite dissapointed. I ordered it "between rare and medium-rare, but closer to rare". The steak came out, it was a little over 2" thick, charred on both ends, but still significantly rare (cool) in the middle. It was unbelievably chewy throughout and quite poor in quality. I was with some close friends that I hadn't seen in a while and as I had to drive them to the airport afterwards, I didn't have the time to send it back. Has anyone else had a poor steak from Gibson's before? Would it be worth a telephone call or a letter to the General Manager?

10 seconds on each side, just to give it a bit of color, but not enough to cook the meat thoroughly.
