Question for chefs/waitresses
    #9262387 - 11/17/08 06:48 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

When people order their steaks "medium-rare," do you tend to think that they don't know what they are talking about, or what?

Because I really do like my steak somewhere between medium and rare, but I see all these other people ordering it the same way and then complaining that it's pink in the middle.

Is there a smoother way to order it that way, or am I just stuck between a rock and hard place due to all the stupid people out there?

the only difference between rare and medium rare is that rare is still cold in the center. if people dont want any pink get it well if you want a little pink go medium well. and medium rare is pretty much rare except that its warm and bloody instead of cold and bloody

At the 99 we are supposed to explain to people what they are ordering when they order it... ie; rare cool red center or rare warm red center or medium cool red center or medium well warm pink center or well warm no pink center. . . No one ever does though.

I get alot of people sending steak back because they think it's undercooked! I guess its like old people who think everything is cold!

So they throw it over a raging fire for 30 seconds? I could probably manage that much at home :smirk:

That's exactly what I'm talking about.  They need a leaflet in the menu with pictures and arrows.

I've always wondered why somebody would pay $15+ for a steak at a restaurant when you can make the exact same thing, cooked exactly to your standards, for cheaper at your own home. Maybe its just because my dad owned a steak house for 20 years while I was growing up so I'm used to good homecooked meat, but I just don't get it.

They really want it prepared Medium Well, they just have no concept of what that means so they say Medium Rare because they heard some guy say it on a TV show once.

I believe they actually want it medium, I order it medium and
usually get it the way I really wanted it, medium rare, if
it's rare I dont bitch and just eat the steak, if it's meduim
well or well, I usually throw stuff at the waitron unit and
storm into the kitchen to show the cook how medium is
supposed to be cooked

haha, i don't know where you shop, but that is WAY off.  They mey get some good cuts, but definitely not better than what you can get as a private consumer.

peace

well your right if you go to a private butcher but the grocery stores get second pick. restaurants pay top dollar for a good quality meat unless its some cheap ass restaurant

restaurants buy their stuff from specialty suppliers ubless
you're dealing with huge chains like O'Charlies or something, I
know that Longhorns does their business as locally as possible
because they were buying from Beck Brothers for years, Grocery
stores buy from different suppliers and you can get better
quality from a store than from a wholesaler

The range is:

Blue - Pretty much still mooing, just a little cooked on the outside

Rare - Cooked on the outside, still very pink

Medium rare - Still pink and juicy but a change in the flesh is noticed

Medium - A little pink

Medium well - Almost no pink, more a grey color

Well - Dry and chewy lol

It's called "medium".

Medium rare implies the steak is still somewhat uncooked. like sushi in the middle and grilled beef on the outside.
