I want it red and bleeding, a lot of places around my area have policies about not serving the meat too rare... so at a lot of bigger restaurants you'll get an overcooked piece of garbage.
There are a few places around here that know what rare means, but usually I'll just cook it(or not it) myself to my liking.
I've been to a couple of places where they make you sign a waiver if you order a rare steak.

I've always served it just as the customer wants, a chick used to come into a place I worked, she said let it spend enough time on each side to discolor the meat, a 30 second steak, if she'd have asked for it straight from the cooler she'd have gotten it

I prefer well-done steaks. A bloody steak just turns my stomach.

Too rare and the meat isn't bloody. I cook it to where its slightly above rare and the blood/juice starts coming out.

I love all steak...... even shitty cuts of cube steak with fat and veins in it. I love beef, I dont eat enough of it though because of it's bad rep. I'll eat rare all the way up to burnt because at that point it's still better than a burger. I used to go to golden corral for all you can eat steak back in my teens with groups of friends and just dominate. You have to order rare there because if you dont it's leathery and kinda greasy.

I feel it's all about age. When I was a kid there's nothing I liked more than a charred, crispy steak. I've slowly been ordering it less and less cooked and I'm enjoying it even more. Right now I'm down to medium. I can't do rare yet but I'm really starting to appreciate the natural flavor of beef.

I don't get why a chef would care. You're getting paid, to make the food the way the customer wants. Are you bitching because you have to spend more time cooking it? Because honestly, if the customer likes it that way, isn't it better to please them than to "honor the meat" or w/e attitude that is.
Do people bitch about mashing potatoes up or cutting vegetables up into soups, and purees, and then the heating of which destroys nutrition as well (soup vs veggie juice, no comparision). But when it's a steak, they have a problem.
I just don't see it/get it.

I doubt that red liquid is actually blood. Maybe in grass fed animals but processed meat? Nah, no blood.

It's called myoglobin, and it's not technically blood. It's an oxygen-binding protein found in the muscles of vertebrates.
Also, you should make sure to rest your steak on a hot grill or in an oven at 300ºF or so after cooking it to help the internal temperature lower before cutting into your steak. After violating the internal cellular structure of the meat with several hundred degrees of heat, you want to let the cut rest and let the seared crust on the outside force that juice to reintegrate into the meat. Cut it immediately off the grill, and you're doomed to a dry steak swimming in it's own juice. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes, and you're in for a juicy treat... provided you didn't cook it well, like a little kid.

LOL Whoops, hit edit instead of quote....
Yeah I've never had chicken hearts. It sucks I have to order stuff like that. I should just start calling local farms and asking to just buy it cash, right there. It'd probably taste a lot better too.

Beef carpaccio up in this bitch!

Seriously, I don't see how anyone can enjoy well done beef. I even order my burgers rare when given the chance.
-------------------- Did he dream about dragons? Did he dream about deer? Did he whisper he names of friends who were near? What songs did they play, and how far away? Why did he whisper, why did she scream? What does the sound of a screen door mean? Who talks on the hill? Who goes to the cellar, can you feel the chill? Where does the river, when will the wind? How far are the mountains? Where do they end? Why would the church? Did the service begin? Tell me who died, and tell me who cried. Help me hide in the skin of a deer, my zippered-up bag in the mouth of a stag so swiftly I go through rows of does, it flows, it flows, it flows, it flows all over the hill where the green grass grows.
