I, too, wish any error would be made toward the side of rareness but it sure hasn't worked that way over the past year or more. Frequently my steak arrives medium-ish, even though I ordered rare to medium-rare. Lately I've even tried ordering rare, but it arrives warm in the center more often than not.

Mmmmm... raw beef. I want my steak so rare that a shot of penicillin will revive it.
