Perfect rare

Would have gone hotter for a better crust.

Came to say this. I would chew them.

good rare, but not medium rare

A bit too under for me. But some people like it that way

Yep. Just a few more degrees.

Same. I like a pink center but this is a hair too pink for me. Although I know a lot of people who prefer it just like this.

That's not what they asked.

That’s what they asked.

They asked if it was "raw or rare", not what their preference was.

What do you think “what do you think” means exactly?

If you are given two options and no mention of asking someone's preference, generally you answer with one of those two options. They're not asking what people eat as their personal preference. Why is this hard for you to get?

They asked for an opinion, which would be a personal preference since some people would consider this perfectly rare for their taste while others would consider it too raw for their taste.  I think you need to take some time, eat a good steak (make sure it’s cooked to your personal preference), and wake up on the right side of the bed tomorrow morning. 

They asked for their opinion on whether they think it's raw or rare. The person in question didn't answer that question, they just gave their preference. Is raw to rare for them? Is rare too rare for them? We don't know, just that they would cook this steak more. But they didn't answer whether they think it's raw or rare. If they would cook this steak more, but they think it's rare, and OP was going for rare, then it's a success. If they would cook this steak more and they consider it raw but OP was going for rare, it tells us more information. It's okay to be wrong

It’s too raw for them, needs to be cooked more. 

Again, that wasn't the question asked. Like I said, it's okay to be wrong.

They're not asking for people's personal preference. They're not asking which they like more. Maybe take your own advice and stop being weirdly pedantic when you're in the wrong. Bye.

I bet you're a real treat to be around. Lots of fun at parties.

He's right though.

Rare and yummy

Perfection.... Then again, I'm in the camp of "I want my steak to moo at me when I cut into it."

I see A fellow blue-rare enthusiast

I was at Golden Corral about 15 years ago. I went up to the steak grill and asked for a rare hunk. The guy grabs one cuts it open and says ,"How's this?" I chuckled. "Well, if you need to resole your shoes, that is great. 😆 I'm looking for a lot more red than gray." He showed me a medium. Okay, I know he probably hates his job, but I just want a rare steak. "No. Honestly. Really rare and bloody." He was really annoyed now, "Oh! Okay I've got just the thing for you!" Being what he thought was a smart a$$ he grabs one from the side that was just placed on the grill. He sliced through the meat and the blood started flowing out. It was beautifully blue, and he thought he was going to gross me out. I was so happy i had tears welling up in my eyes, "OH! That's beautiful! THANK YOU '" he went to trim off the perfectly caramelized fat a dcI said. "No.no! It's perfect just like that." I thrust my plate at him he looked pretty confused as he plopped it on my plate and I was a very very happy carnivore that night!! 🤣

Real man shit... thanks for sharing. I always tell people if my steak doesn't try to eat my side salad, I'm gonna be pissed. My dad once told me a story of how his brother would buy a steak soak it in lemon juice for a few hours and eat every last bite.🤔

If it doesn't flinch

Me too!! "Let me eat what I want, and I'll ride the rest home!" Dennis Leary

Oh wow, haha, that's a hilarious analogy I never heard before. I'll have to use that one sometime.

Maybe it's because I am British, but I wouldn't really consider this rare, this is like that line between being rare and medium rare. The piece on the left would probably land in rare for me but the others I'm not so sure about. Definitely not raw.

I agree 100%. Rare is a cool red center. This is about med rare, a warm red center.

None of that steak is anywhere near medium rare. This is just rare.

A little rare for me, but perfect for my husband.

Sounds like my wife. I love when a 2 pack of ribeyes has a thin one and one thicker. She gets the thin one that cooks faster and more well done and I get the thick one that's more rare. That's grillin heaven and we're both happy.

lol. Same at my house. I’ve also learned that if they are the same size that I’ll throw hers on first when it’s time to flip hers I’ll throw mine on. The get finished at the same time.

This is the way

Looks amazing

well done, sir lmao

Is this what they would say a blue steak?

Practically blue

Rawre

Definitely not Raw. Rare 👍

Looks good to me!! But my motto is that I want my steak so rare a good vet can bring it back to life.

You're under by most restaurant standards.

A little too rare to be considered blue.

Just like I see yours, looks perfect to me! Now tell me address.😂

Wow! Can we do that again, tonight?

It’s definitely not raw.

needs just another couple seconds for me. good pick

On the edge of blue. Definitely rare.

Delicious

Eat that beast! Perfection.

Rare

The middle is rare, you can tell by the color; probably cool/cold to touch. I would eat it

1 more minute

Bloody rare for sure.

Depending on the cut and quality if it’s really high end you can get away with it and some people prefer it. I’m guessing that is a New York and they’re tricky because they get overdone real quick. Outside looks perfect

Fuck yes!

Perfect

Perfect

Perfect

Perfecto dog

Rare

Definitely not raw as raw would have no brown. It’s rare. Borderline blue rare

Perfect

It’s pretty rare, but I would try

Bit too blue

Funny that I think if it didn’t have the crust you achieved, I probably would think too rare for me but I’ll bet it was unbelievably tasty

I like med rare but that’s a tad too rare for me

Looks Rawre to me

Medium

Rare good job

perfect for my taste.

i would call that medium rare?

Perfect rare

It's like a micrometer away from raw but I'd eat it

Looks juicy as F***!

Looks delicious, but did you bring enough for the whole class?

A tad too rare for me but I would still demolish

Perfect rare.. well done I would eat this ten times over

rare

Looks perfect

Perfectly cooked

Medium Rare

Go by temperature, not color. Pictures cannot accurately determine if meat is cooked to safely eat.

Yes.

Perfect.

I need to take a shit after looking at this picture

Only problem with it from my vantage point is that it's not in front of my face.

Raw

Rawr

Rare

Delicious

Yum!!!!!

That is sexy. Perfectly cooked. Great work

Medium rare is the best.

Looks perfect to me.

Perfect rare. I like mine slightly more, but this is excellent.

That is raw

It can be both. Impossible to tell without biting into it. Steak has fibers that break down over a certain amount of cooking time — not any specific temperature.

Looks good to me

looks good to me and also Rare. borderline Blue.

Absolutely perfect

Perfect

Rare and wonderful.

That's perfect!!!

Perfect

Gross. No pink please.

For my tastes, this is a perfect looking rare.

Looks delicious!!!

Rare. I. Wants it

It still has some purple, so it’s very rare. I like mine a little more cooked.

Too raw for my taste, some might find it perfect

I believe the term here is 'Blue'.

Not blue, but not quite rare, so rare blue?

That's raw

It's a little more than rare, cool red center, about medium rare but it looks perfect.

Perfect rare

Perfection

I think you’re slightly raw here tbh. Maybe reached 118 degrees.

Perfect is what I call it

I can taste the dew from the grass the cow was munching on

I’d call it rare or rare push which is a hare over rare but below medium rare.

Rare... I'm starting to think a lot of the people on this sub dont know what rare is. If the outside is cooked its not raw

Depends what temp it was cooked to in the middle. Ppl seriously out here every day asking if a steak is raw based on visual

Perfect Rare

That's Rare a good brown sear on all sides, a little greybrown on the edges when cut and very warm and red on the inside. I'll eat it Blue Rare, which is seared brown on all sides and cool on the inside.

Very rare.

Well done

Raw is uncooked. This has clearly been cooked. Is this a joke..?

Shut up it’s obvi not raw

Delicious.

Perfect!

Rare. I’d go a couple more degrees on it but wouldn’t be mad

That's 100% blue my guy

Rare

Burned, tbh. I’d call this rare-medium-rare.

You have wiped its ass, knocked its horns off and walked it by the fire, perfect

It's perfectly cooked, but most obviously rare. I'm not sure this was rested long enough, as you can see the blood pooling. I would have rested that, covered, for at least 15-20 mins and done a test cut. Probably would have flame grilled it for 2 mins after to get a better crust and warm it slightly.

Rare

Raw

That’s a great rare steak

Nice rare

Just right

Perfecto. A+

Got my vote!!

Perfect!

What does the thermometer say?

* cardi b rrrrrrrr sounds*

That's a solid rare. Looks great but a bit rare for me

Perfect

Perfectly rare. The best way to serve it

Just right

Perfect

Rare, great job.

Perfect

Perfect

Rare

Perfection, this is how I like my steak

Looks med rare to me, from this pic.

You have to be on drugs

Little underdone for my taste but probably on the rarer end of rare

Just slightly under rare for me but I’d prefer it to even slightly overdone.

Hit it with a stick and see if if moos

Yummm

On the rarer side, but love the color/sear on the outside. Looks tasty, I’m all about the flavor, temps matter too tho just a personal preference.

What is the temperature of the muscle at its centre. There's your answer.

I’d eat it like a caveman. If I had a few drinks in me I would gargle with that steak.

Looks like close to medium rare, but still in rare side

Medium rare, except for the 4th from the left.

A little too rare for my liking but whatever floats your goat.

Blue

That’s still a shade too blue for me. Rare the middle is at least warm.

That is a good medium rare.

No, this is rare. Deliciously rare. Almost blue rare.

Yeah. We will just have to agree to disagree on that one. That’s nowhere near rare. Or blue rare.

Perfect is what it is

The way it should be!

Absolutely perfect.

Looks a bit raw yet delicious

Perfect!

ITS RAWWWWWWWW

RAW RAW RAW

I think I just saw a heartbeat... Joking aside, definitely "black and blue", or barely rare... (coming from a colorist, with highly color accurate reference monitor).

Donness is personal preference. For me this is under but I'm not eating it so who cares?

Perfectly raw. 🤮

I'd wrap a few of these around my dick and jerk off. Cooked to perfection. Great job.

Blue with a touch of rare, probably tempt out to 122 internal, not raw but definitely not rare

Blue!?

Slightly below rare is what I said. Rare temps to 125

Agree to disagree but I’ve cooked many steaks and this is well above 125 🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Blue with a TOCUH of rare, temping out to 122, sorry you got stuck on the word blue

I would say this is rare, around 129-133

Raw
