Blue Rare

(cooked on the outside, and totally raw inside)

I find that meats taste better when raw.

I like it "alive." My instruction to the waiter is to "warm it up to body temperature so it tastes like you just killed it." mmmmmm!

Does anyone here appreciate Bleu Cheese on their steak? I tried it at the Weber Grill here in Chicago on a NY Strip, and it was surprisingly tasty. Is it lunch time yet???

Same here. And yes, I am forced to agree.

Blue cheese, gorgonzola, roquefort. Any smelly cheese makes a steak that much better!

Oozing is no good, but that ain't blood.

Just well-seared for me.

Not a bleu cheese fan, but I have had it with gorgonzola on top & it was absolutely fantastic

Regards the OP's question - I like mine like Rodney Dangerfield - so rare that I can still see the whip marks from the jockey!

I like it but not on a really really good steak. I'm more likely to do that to a ribeye steak that I panfry at home, or if on a business trip I end up with colleagues at an Outback-level steakhouse.

Bingo! couldnt agree more.

In regards to the comment about being able to still see the whip marks from the jockey....

I was at a restaurant in a medium size city in Japan with a Brit friend of mine and our Japanese host. We were getting all sorts of little plates, ordered in Japanese. One particularly good one seemed to be carpacchio. Very thin, cold slices of raw red meat. My Brit friend, unwilling to leave well enough alone, asked what it was. The response was "horse, race horse". After some blank stares all my friend could get out was, "must have been soft going today".
