Depends on the place
If it's a great steakhouse, and they know what they are doing, medium well
If it's a decent place, then I will order it medium, chances are they are going to overcook it
If it's a place like Denny's or some other place of the same caliber, I will have a cheeseburger instead

Medium to medium well, depending on the cut and quality. I prefer ribeyes, but am also partial to filets and porterhouse.
Best store-bought steak ever? New York strip at Stroud's Shady Oaks in Abbeyville, La. Crispy on the outside, perfect medium on the inside. The onion rings there were also to die for.

I prefer medium rare.
I have one customer who likes to go to Ruth Chris or the like when we meet, but his choice of how to eat his steak is shocking. He will order a butterfly cut and well done. In addition I have taken him about 3 times now and each time he has sent the steak back because he could still see pink, he wants it burnt inside and out.
I want to serve him my shoe.

I used to order it well done, but whenever I do that I was told that the kitchen would probably take the oldest, worst piece of meat from the entire kitchen and throw it into the oven and scorch the hell out of it.
So medium well for me!

When you grill...how do you prepare your steak?
This question arises from a discussing between me and my Father.
I was home for Thanksgiving and whenever I visit, my Dad and I grille steak. We go down to Whole Foods and get a New York Strip each, then my Dad fires up the old Weber charcoal grille and we have beers as we wait for it to get hot.
Now, we differ on the issue of steak.
My Dad's: Salted lightly and garnished with lemon juice
Mine: Heavily marinated. I like an Asian flair so I put on some sweet and sour chili sauce and hoisin sauce as well as a touch of BBQ sauce and some spices. I also like it over white rice.
My Dad is very anti-marinade.
How do you guys like to grille yours?
