I prefer black and blue but most places can't do that, so I ask for rare which usually arrives medium rare in most instances. I don't like my steak cooked any further than that.

For those that are interested in such things .... she didn't know how to "complete" the steak ..... neverthteless her first attempt at sous vide steak ...
It'll take 24 hours to cook and look like leather. But could this be the best steak you'll ever eat?

Sorry if I come off a little strong, but it infuriates me when people do not care enough about something to learn before posting a "professional" journal article about the subject.

It's not clear what your issue is with the article. It didn't appear to me that she was pretending to know more than she actually does - she was simply tinkering around with a new technique and decided to write about it. That was my take, anyway...

This thread is absolutely making me salivate... So badly want to head to my local Ruth's Chris.
Me: medium rare minus. If they err either way, I'd MUCH rather it come to me rare (which I'd happily eat) than if it was medium rare. I absolutely detest it when a restaurant brings me a medium steak when I ask for 'medium rare but err on the side of rare if anything.' seems to happen waaaay too often nowadays.
Generally just like it salt/peppered but am quite happy with a melted pat of butter or some bearnaise on it.

I can't cope with anything rare or below, I lilke my steak cooked a bit more and will usually go for medium plus or medium well done.
This thread does remind me of a time in one of the top Steakhouses in Hong Kong. When the waiter asked my mate how he'd like his steak he looked him in the eye and with a straight face said "In a baguette"

I concur! I'm from Ottawa and had Alberta beef for the first time this year while working in Edmonton and it is to die for! I prefer rare, nothing more. Also a big fan of steak tartar and beef tataki
