Interesting, because I always avoid the steak given that they can never had it done, medium to medium rare, and other entrees usually end up being the safer choice.
Thanks for reading, higherflier86.

You're absolutely right, it's a crap shoot as far as steaks on planes go. On my DFW-LHR flight, the steak wasn't that great, but it was near perfect on my MAD-DFW flight. So it can be done, but again it's crew dependent. The crew on the MAD-DFW flight was much better, and probably timed it so they could pull the steaks out of oven in time. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

As to why I chose the steak entrees, they were the safe option for me given my lactose intolerance. If I didn't have that little issue, I would have definitely gone with the scallops dish, which I've heard good things about.
