      yep my parents are like that. They think any pink or red color means its uncooked and that there is blood in it. I tried telling them that its not blood and its cooked, but a lifetime of thinking that way is hard to change. What they like is not even well done, but cooked until its thoroughly stiff inside and tastes like leather. No wonder they don't like steak all that much.

    • @cymbamcreynolds8838
      @cymbamcreynolds8838 6 місяців тому +1

      The pink part is the least flavorful part to me. It tastes like iron. I also hate the texture; it makes me gag/ nauseous. To me, it's like chewing old gum. Metallic and gummy. The pink running everywhere on my plate and making my sides taste like iron too is the cherry on top that ruins the entire meal. That's why I prefer well done. Well-done taste like juicy, seasoned beef to me. I think ppl who prefer well-done have sensitive palettes and dislike the taste and texture of the other kinds. Neurodivergent ppl, like me, are generally sensitive to lots of things (sound, taste, texture, etc.)
      Sadly, there's so much hate towards well-done eaters that I've seen several chefs admit to sabotaging well done orders by under or over cooking it. I've stopped ordering steak after leaving restaurants hungry. If someone doesn't like well done, they either have a less sensitive palette to enjoy the less cooked taste/texture or had the steak sabotaged by uppity kitchen staff.

  • @nathanhaines1721

    A well done steak should have no pink, and should be a bit dry. Take it off at 160 to 165. Final resting temp should be around 170.
    125 degrees a steak is still quite rare. That's a good temp to remove a steak from grill if you want med rare.
    135 kinda borderline temp. Coolest temp for medium. Highest for med rare.

    Your well done is what I think is reasonable. In this family, however, we eat our steaks rare. As in really rare. Blue.
    Anyone who think well done means dry and grey should not bother eating steaks at all.

  • @JimP226
    @JimP226 2 роки тому +4

    I don't understand this at all. I use a couple different properly calibrated temp probs and if I cooked to 140F its looking more well done than this well done steak. Also 150-170F and still that pink, no way. Plus if it was 170 before resting, it probably would come up a few more degrees on top of that. This just confused me even more. I'd also like to point out that the thumbnail image tells an entirely different story.

    That’s the most beautifully cooked Well Done steak I have ever seen. Unfortunately, people who ask for well done would never eat it, “Those people” are usually put off by that lovely color. If it’s not gray they won’t eat it. I never give those people Butcher Box meat. They don’t deserve it.

    I thought the raw steak was where it was softest and it got progressively firmer the more you cook it... I mean, raw meat is squishy as hell. I didn't realize it went as far as trying to figure out how long it takes the steak to bounce back from a push.

    wait why would the length of the muscle fibers change from the amount of heat? That will stay the same regardless of how long you cook it, short of burning it to charcoal. the perceived shorter fibers is just a difference in how dry, overcooked meat cuts and looks compared to the others.
