    I love blue rare filets, but I don't enjoy a ribeye or strip that way because the fat doesn't have any time to render and ends up with a gross texture.

    For a really good ribeye (assuming I have the time and energy) I'll smoke it on low up to rare then sear it so it comes out medium rare.

    Just a flesh wound mate. Get me a pint and I’m good.

    A coworker started getting used to client dinners, with super nice steaks. He was known to say "I'll just walk up to a cow and take a bite these days"

    I would eat the ever living fuck out of that

    Not far from how my GF (and the rest of her side of the family) prefers their steak: crust, and red only. Nothing but the outside should be cooked.

    To paraphrase (and translate) her uncle: Light a candle in a field, and gently guide the cow past it at a safe distance.

    FWIW, you can do this fairly easily with sous vide and still ensure that it's perfectly safe.

    I had a steak like this, something like 20-odd years ago (i'm nowhere near wealthy enough to go to nice steakhouses now); it was amazing. I don't intentionally eat any steak cooked more than medium rare at this point.

    ITT: people who have never had Prime Rib or have only had well done shitty Prime Rib. Prime rib is supposed to look like this you buffoons.

    That's a prime rib roast and it's beautiful. That's closer to Med Rare than Blue.

    Someone mashed it with a fork to get those red juices to the surface. (mioglobin, not blood) And that bright red color of the flesh is because it was just cut off the roast and is only just being exposed to oxygen.

    Incredibly impressed with that sear considering the middle didn't get above room temperature

    When asked how I would like it prepared, I like:

    “still pissed off”

    I have a friend that goes with:

    “knock off the horns and wipe its butt”

    It's just as likely as any other meat. If it was frozen and shipped beforehand, less likely, so with fast food beef you're probably right; but the reduced chance of infection comes from actually killing bacteria present in the meat, meaning you need to hit the elimination heat threshold for e. coli and the other usual suspects throughout the cut.

    Well, if it’s just as likely as any other meat I’ll begin eating blue pork and see how that works out - plus, if your beef has o157 I suggest you send your food safety agency to the butcher / (s)laughter house and see where they went wrong. Also, fast-food beef is likely to be minced - in which case you’d need to cook that fucker through and through to make it anywhere near safe. (Yeah, yeah. I hear you, steak tartare people)
