    Unless you've eaten rare steak, you've never really had steak. You might as well be eating boot leather if you like your steak well done. Just take a nice juicy piece of raw meat on your George Foreman grill and give each side about 10 seconds heating time, then serve with spices and enjoy.

    This goes for salmon steak too. Just drop it on the grill for about 10 seconds each side and enjoy. It's delicious and literally melts in your mouth.

    I am a vegetarian and happy to be one. There is no need to slaughter an animal to feed me as my stomach is not a graveyard for dead animals.

    Just a graveyard for dead plants slaughtered to feed your ravenous desires ;)

    I have eaten more meat than you will ever eat in my years. I am done eating animals and happy to be a veg. Sorry if that offends you, but I don't need an animal killed just to feed me anymore. I am free to eat to my delight from the plant family.

    I ain't eatin no raw steak and I am not eatin no raw fish!!!!

    I was always told that raw meat will give you worms...and that includes beef. And raw fish ia a haven for bad bacteria.

    That's way too rare for me.

    I'm grilling some really thick ribeyes tonight, they're probably an 1 1/2 thick. If all goes as planned, there will be a half inch of rare meat in the center, with a slight char on both sides.

    I can handle raw and lightly cooked fish though, provided that it didn't come out of a muddy river.

    There's a lot of research going on that shows plants feel the same level of pain as animals, and even are 'conscious' of it.

    Yep, so fricken good. About 10 secs on each side, real bloody and stringy. With nothing on it. A good T-bone will almost melt in your mouth. I am getting hungry thinking about it :)

    As I have gotten older I find that overcooked steak is harder to digest. I like a rare steak now and then but it has gotten very expensive.

    I picked up some swordfish steaks at Trader Joes and they were very good.

    Sashimi, mmmmmm.

    Well they're from the plantae family, not the animalia family so I have no problem eating them. And no- they don't feel pain- they're veggies! Sheesh- back up an incredulous claim or back down, man... I've been hearing that old wives' tale for decades.

    You are riding a high horse there feller. We are omnivores as determined by the length of our intestines. We can eat many things. It is nice that you can feel superior by eating only plants but you are built for other things.

    I figure that the animal did a (*)(*)(*)(*)ed good job of converting plant materials into high density, quality calories, so I might as well save on energy and eat the animal. Not raw, though. Medium rare is about where like things. Except lamb. Lamb should be rare.

    Actually no. Atomically, our bodies renew themselves every 2-3 years including the spinal column and brain. So yeah- I am in a position higher than you because nothing had to die to fill my stomach. Debate THAT!

    You don't hear me preaching here, I am just saying a fraction of people will be vegetarian, I just happen to be in that minority. To me, a steak is a slowly rotting corpse and an egg is an abortion complete with the fetous... that's just how I feel about it.

    Most of the world is mostly vegetarian- only in America do we start threads that ask "who has the juciest steak?"... I just don't think that way- I think about Africa and all the people dying from malnutrition while we throw away what they would eat, that's all.

    Done preaching.

    I watched my friend eat a steak made that way...it was purple and I could swear it was still mooing a little too. *vomits*

    Grossest thing I have ever seen. I'll stick to having it cooked til the blood isn't red anymore since the blood makes me want to pass out when I see it. @____@

    Plants die, if not before you eat them, then in your stomach.

    Yay! I win!

    I rarely suffered dirrehea when eating raw steak, and even when the wet bowels came, they weren't that bad, like I didn't get the shakes and sweats, just a short loose bowel.

    This is certainly worth the better taste that comes with medium rare, or rare steak. Humans are closely related to monkeys, and they eat raw meat, that is why humans are naturally inclined to prefer Raw.
