I like my steak where a good Vet can have it back on its feet in five minutes!

I like mine a good rare(a fast super hot sear on both sides & on to the plate) up to medium rare, & thatās pushing it. My wife used to have hers well done and Iāve finally got her to eating a medium steak. She will even eat it if itās a little āpinkerā than usual.
Now, if I could get her to stop putting ketchup on it!

And if we ever have a steak dinner party and someone either A: asks for well done, or B: asks for A1 or ketchup to ruin itā¦they are promptly stricken from any future parties.
When we cook steak its choice or prime meatā¦not cube steakā¦Ive never been so insulted in my life when someone squirts ketchup on a 30 dollar filetā¦

Thatās what Iām talkinā about! Iāve been known to carve off a slice just before it goes on the grill. Just to munch on. A little salt & pepper, mmmmm.

arent there better things to spend $250 on your wife to show your appreciation?? like, a vacuum, or something??

Especially nice when she tells you she had a wonderful time, but your steaks are better:

I donāt mind paying a little extra money for a good meal I canāt cook like Fat Hen or Wild Olive. My wife agrees. She would rather eat steak at home with an expensive bottle of wine. Itās like changing your oilā¦sure I can pay Jiffy Lube $40 to change my oil but Iād rather have the satisfaction of doing it myself and knowing Iām getting the right oil and the job is done correctly.

We spend so much time in the house, it's nice to get out and away from the kids. In other words, it's not about the steak. It's about the experience.

Why would anyone go to a pub to pay $3 for a beer when they can drink PBR at home for 50 cents?

I couldnāt agree more about the experience. Wonāt lie thoughā¦having a few bourbons at The Coop at the Fat Hen while eating the rib is my idea of a perfect night.

Try asking for Pittsburgh rare. Some steak houses will know about it.
I know Iāve heard of Pittsburg rare, but donāt remember exactly what it is.
I know itās all about the experience & showing the wife a good time, BUT, she could care less. Iām the one who wanted to check it out one day. Sheās happier with a pizza or a burger.

pittsburg rare is how i eat my steaks. super hot skillet, sear both sides real quick to blacken the outside, and thatās itā¦if you do it right, the very middle will still be cool
