You have no idea if what you're getting is authentic gold leaf and not one laced with lead. Presentation is a huge part of food and gold leaf can be part of that if used correctly.

I was already in university when someone asked for the first time, "How do you want your steak -- rare, medium-rare, medium?"

[@FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

It often depends on the quality of the meat and the cut @ $/lb. There are a few different meat grades (USDA select, USDA choice, USDA Prime, then stuff like wagyu/kobe, etc) and other factors like how they were fed (grass vs grain), or perhaps if it's dry aged.

Medium rare - medium are the best ways to have steak. Rare is bad because it hasn't warmed up any of the fat or broken any of the muscle down so that bitch doesn't have much meat flavor (fat carries flavor) and is tough as nails. Medium rare/Medium is a great balance of flavor and tenderness. If you are going to eat rare/raw red meat, it needs to be super thin like carpaccio or finely diced like tartar where the muscle fibers have already been severely broken down for you.

Vaush is right, cooking a steak is incredibly simple, no matter how you're doing it. Season it, cook it for 5-8 minutes, depending on thickness, flip it, cook it for another 5-8, plate it, eat it. Granted, there's a lot you can do to flavor it up and make it fancier, but if you're going for a good meal, it's pretty easy. I think a lot of people have a mental block about it because of the way it's usually depicted everywhere else.

@@Kortonox yikes, that sounds awful. If I were in your spot, I'd just tell my dad that I want to cook my own steak the next time he wants to cook them. My dad kind of used to be the same way as yours, but he prefers everything well-done, which is fine, because I used to eat steak that way for years. Though, once I discovered cooking it medium or rare gives it better flavor that isn't added by sauce afterwards, he's been pretty accommodating whenever I go to my parents' place for a steak dinner. I always tell him I'm more than willing to cook my own, but he always wants to do it, and for a guy that still likes his steak well-done, makes mine pretty good most of the time. I really think he just likes to cook for others, which isn't a downside, if you ask me.

[@soryaaza7362]

I never understood stake discourse in American media. Being a Mexican all of the meat we cook is well done. It tastes good, and we add some spices to give it a different taste, so seeing a steak looking, well, pink, it looks weird, and I just think it's uncooked and uneatable. But that may also be influenced by the fact that our meat is pretty much filled with grease and hormones to make it cheaper

[@VMonkies]

Every culture has it's own way to cook, and that's alright by me. If I'm grilling up a steak for myself, you can bet it's going to be pink when it's done, however if I'm going for Mexican food, or anything similar, you can bet I won't be in the kitchen doling out "helpful" cooking tips. I'll eat it the way it's intended, and you're right, the spices and flavors added in Mexican food make the meat taste better than if you just made it well done the American way. Which makes it have the taste and texture of a leather shoe left out in the sun for a week.

[@themightymcb7310]

@@xzraiderzx308 Design matters mostly for smell (which is a HUGE component to taste) and for delivery. Take a normal red wine glass, for example. It has a stem so that you aren't touching the glass itself when holding it because red wines are meant to be served at cellar temperature. Holding the glass would warm the wine up unintentionally. It has a bowl-like shape so that 5oz or so of wine can be swirled around without worrying about it spilling out of the top of the glass (this is done before smelling because it releases more vapors and ethers from the wine). The narrower opening also focuses the vapors up and into the nose. Most standard glassware is designed with these types of things in mind.

[@nuclearbirds]

Even though I’ve definitely done it - You shouldn’t technically eat ANY burgers that aren’t well done. The only reason rare steak is safe is because the surface is the only thing that’s been exposed to bacteria. With ground beef, the process of grinding it up exposes it all to air.

[@eded9860]

Been in the food game for over a decade. Presentation has been shown to make food taste 50 percent better through testing. with that being said, wrapping a steak in gold leaf makes it look ugly AF. Metals do not look appetizing because they are not meant to be eaten. Also the problem with the slicing isn't just with the knife being dull but also with the stupid jerky motion the steak is cut with. Furthermore the angle the steak is cut is might be the most cringe part of this terrible use of premium ingredients. The way a ribeye's fibers align point up. If you cut Diagonal slices, known as cutting on a bias, the mouthfeel is much more tender. Those straight vertical cuts will make the steak stringy.

[@lucatielofmirror5868]

I don't eat meat at all, I'm not really a fan of the whole "eating" thing, my brain doesn't seem to release much of the feel good chemicals that way, and my position on meat consumption nowadays, well... I think we humans dabbled in the dark arts for way too long, it has become almost second nature, but I can't say it isn't tempting to partake in this forbidden delight, the smell still arouses me, just a little.
