You skipped a few levels:
I have a friend that likes it well done. I cook it to medium well because I love them
Where I am from, ordering a medium gets you a sideways glance, and anything above that gets you bodily tossed out of any self-respecting household or establishment.
You think that’s bad? My mother-in-law takes it congratulations, then drowns it in A1. She also thinks Pepsi is appropriate hydration. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her drink just a glass of water. If there’s even the slightest hint of spiciness in anything, it’s completely inedible.
Don’t get me wrong. I love her to death, but she has questionable taste.
As for me, I’m a medium rare type, but I’m known to order mine rare from time to time when she’s out eating with us. Just to bring some balance to the table.
To be fair, I know at least one person (my dad) who eats steak well done because his stomach gets upset for anything other. So he has a legitimate reason. Personally, AI is my go-to to to salvage well steak. It doesn’t fix the steak obviously, but at least now I won’t throw it out and can eat it.
Great, now I’m all hungry for steak.
Vegans hate this one weird trick
