Why do people order their steak extra well done?!
and then they say but i don't want it to be dry or burned!. I used to work at a steak house and almost every night i would come across this!. most people order it med rare-med well, so they can actually taste the flavor of the steak!.
for those who are not aware: there is no bacteria to "cook out" of a steak that is ground beef!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Thats right Jennifer!.
Most people don't understand why that is though!.
Why is it that hamburger meat is dangerous eaten medium rare but steak( which is from the same animal) not!?
Why is it safe to eat raw hamburger made from Filet Mignon and not from any other part of the steer!?
Many people order their steaks well done because bloody meat turns them off or because they just like the flavor of well cooked meat!.That's Ok!. We all have our quirks!.
But if it were because they think that it will get them sick, then they don't understand that the bacteria cannot penetrate the inside of the steak and stays only on the exterior!. That bacteria will burn off easily because it's only on the top and bottom of the steak!. So rare and medium rare are safe!.
( you cannot eat the steak raw of course)!.
Now with hamburger meat, if you took that same steak and ground it up, the bacteria is now all over the meat, thus you have to cook it to an internal temp of 155F to kill the bacteria!.
This was a very good question!.
Tinnie, it's ok that you don't like undercooked steaks!. It tastes like raw flesh to you, like I said to each their own!.
But undercooked steaks( rare or medium rare) do not cause Ecoli!.
That is what Jennifer is saying and she is right!.
It's undercooked hamburger that poses the risk!.
BTW Teenie, how do you know what human flesh tastes like!?

because we like it that way!. you can cook a steak well done without burning it if it is not cooked to fast!. i eat out a lot and do get good steaks at most places!. just because i dont eat my meat with blood running out of it does not mean i like to taste charcoal either!. i dont complain about your red meat and why should you complain about my brown meat!. my husband and i have had this argument for years!. i dont like the taste of it even if it is only pink!. all i taste is the blood!. does this give you your answer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Personally I think it's because they don't understand the technicalities of cooking meat!.
Honestly though, where I work, I've ran into people that order RAW bacon, and RAW steak!.!.!.!.they laugh about it and call themselves carnivores!. It bothers the hell out of me watching the cooks just put the steak on the grill to warm it up, then put it on a plate and the customers like to say "If it's not bleeding all over my plate- then I don't want it!." THAT makes me gag!. I can't even look at them eating, and it makes me sick to clean up their plate!.!.!.!.knowing they just ate raw meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
