The two steaks were both ribeyes. One on the rib bone, and one with the bone removed. Most steak houses will recommend medium rare to medium. Many restaurants have disclaimers that they are not responsible for steaks ordered well done.
When I lived in SE Asia & the UK, I always ordered my steak medium well or well done & smothered it with steak sauce (or ketchup). Not until I moved to the US and was exposed to high-quality/well-prepared steak did I switch to medium-rare.
They are at the TASTE OF TEXAS restaurant in Houston Texas at 10505 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 7702 My family is from Texas and that restaurant is famous for their incredible steaks I amazing sides. That thing that Fats thought was a shrimp is really a stuffed jalapeno pepper that we call JALAPENO POPPERS. They are very addictive. Once you start to eat them it takes definite will power to stop!!! If you have ever have the frozen ones they are nothing like them at the restaurant. Just wanted to help you guys.
Jalepeno poppers are halved jalepenos stuffed with creamcheese and either wrapped in bacon or battered and fried. When fried they look like butterfly shrimp. Very easy to make at home in the oven. And depending on the quality of steak, usually medium-rare is the suggested but of course you can pick whatever you want although connoisseurs will think "what a waste" if you ask for well done. (although for cheap/questionable cuts well done is probably the smarter option) And some cuts are terribly tough and need to be slow cooked to become tender (like brisket).
people dont understand just how big the us is. I live in new york on the west side of the state and its about 400 miles(650km) to nyc. you can visit some states and spend a month exploring if you research the area well or know someone.
Anyone that is just saying it's a Texas steakhouse is under selling it. THIS place is an experience. We have someone that came in from the mid-west and he still talks about it every meeting we have. They walk you to the butcher shop and YOU pick which grade you want, how much fat, how thick...and then they tag it with your info...that's how you identify it when it gets to your table. When in Houston...there are several top notch restaraunts that will soon come out on the Michelin stars and I will be shocked if this is not listed
You have to come to San Antonio, TX, we not only have TX BBQ but we are home to the best Tex Mex. Breakfast tacos, puffy tacos. The river walk, the missions, including the Alamo. We have our beautiful pearl district, and sea world six flags Fiesta Texas San Antonio zoo. A lot to do here. Two restaurants I suggest is Mi Tierra and Ray's drive inn.
Medium rare is what everyone should do for these types of steaks because typically cooking it anymore loses a lot more moisture and tends to make it tougher.
Rare steaks every time for me. As a FYI those types of steaks can be found all over the US in any city. I live in a small city with a population of 40K that's 10mins away from a city that's 650K. Both have delicious steaks readily available.
I like my steaks medium. When I was young, I preferred well done, then later moved to medium well, now just medium. When ordering at a restaurant, you tell them how you want it cooked, and they will try to cook it to your preference. ❤
Don't you remember Pulp Fiction? "How do you want your steak, Bloody as Hell or Burnt to a Crisp?" Most of us consider medium rare as the most tasty while the next most popular being medium. Almost all that prefer medium or well done always accompany their preference with a remark about not being able to stand the sight of blood on their plate. As long as mine is red/pink and warm-to hot in the middle I'm good. Key Lime pie is subtle. Pecan is sweet and savory and if done properly is the absolute best pie ever concocted.
In America particularly if you’re in south… if you’re a man and you get your steak more done then medium other guy will joke around with you being a pansy. 🐱😂 we like to joke about it in the south sometimes lol Other areas of the country are less about it (cause they ain’t as tough as us lol) but something we joke about it shows a man’s character. Hahaha. Medium rare and juicy 🤌🏼 chefs kiss* 😂
Fun fact, Texans love Pecon Pie so much they have vending machines with Pecon pies so people can buy them 24 hours. I live in Austin Texas, there's one 20 minutes away from me! Terry Blacks isnt the best BBQ in Austin, Franklins BBQ is far better.
The reason some like medium-rare is because it’s generally considered the tastiest way to eat steak because of the layered doneness. The pink middle ensures juiciness and tenderness while the more cooked layers give the firmness and flavorful coloring on the outside. Try it! You might not ever eat another well-done steak again.
Everyone has their own preference. There is no standard steak way that people have it here in Texas. Rare, Medium Rare, Medium, Medium Well, Well done. I've never been out and seen people all have the same way people have their steak.
I always go medium rare and my favorite method of making steaks is directly on top of charcoal (aka dirty steaks). if not doing it like this, then standard super hot cast iron pan method (super hot - sear, then finish in the oven)
Medium Rare is the way to go for a good quality steak. Anything over medium you might as well not eat steak because it has been ruined, my opinion of course.
Steaks, Burgers, Meatloafs and other forms of cow and general beef based meats can be cooked or fried in a number of different ways in most All U.S. restaurants often it depends on the preference of the individual person or persons cooking or eating it. Ranging from Rare/Raw to Medium to Done with Medium Rare, Medium Well and Well Done as other alternatives specifically and especially for all the cow meat forms and meals. there are also various types of dark meat vs light meat in the chicken, turkey, duck, etc. meats especially which can be cooked in different ways, plus some people may like dark over the light meat or prefer the light over the dark instead. It's almost always based on a persons personal choice especially at most sit-down or eat-in dining restaurants, not particularly in fast food though or some specialty cafés and eateries.
When you have the option to get your food cooked in the manner you want it cooked, regardless of which of the fifty states your in, you have it cooked how you like to eat it. 😊
Medium rare is the norm. But it depends on the thickness. A huge thick slab needs to be cooked well done to get the middle medium rare. So you learn by experience.
To me if you cook a steak beyond medium well then you basically have cook most the juices and flavor away! My wife when we married always wanted hers well done which was like eating shoe leather. She now eat them medium well, I finally converted her.
Key lime pie is one of my favorite desserts. It is sweet and tangy at the same time. That and tiramisu are my favorite desserts. But you need it try authentic peach cobbler from Georgia and apple pie and strawberry pie here in America. And don't forget to go to a Diary Queen when you come. They have a ice cream dessert called A BLIZZARD that if you like ice cream you will absolutely LOVE.
I’m a Texas gal, I always like Medium Rare steak because it’s tender and juicy. There is a preference that goes by how cooked that you want the steak to be: Rare, Medium Rare, Medium and Well Done. I love the Brit Brothers. I have watched their videos a lot. They sure have a great sense of humor! 😁
I’m from Texas. I prefer Medium rare. However it matters on the cut. If you have a fatty piece like ribeye I prefer medium. This is due to the high fat content requiring more heat to render the fat. Otherwise the fat will be chewy. I also reverse sear my ribeyes. This is done by smoking them for 1 hour at 200 F. This helps to render the fat.
The more rare the meat, the more tender it is. I like mine medium, my husband likes his medium well. My best friend likes hers rare which is, seared on both sides and cool in the middle it's literally a raw steak that's gently seared.
The cook on the steak depends on the cut, and how fatty/ lean it is. A rib eye as these are, contains more fat, therefore you can cook it more and still retain the juiciness/ tenderness. A filet mignon is extremely lean, so there's less forgiveness the more you cook it with it drying out and becoming tough. Personally, I think you should order your steak however you enjoy it the most. I do rib eye medium rare (so as the fat is more enjoyable, and renders into almost pure "steak butter", and a filet rare.) However, I will state... If a steak is ordered cooked more then medium in my presence, you may observe a single, solitary tear slowly rolling down the outer profile of my nose, around the corner of my lip, and drop from the base of my chin, as a small part of me dies inside.
In our country the US it’s a personal preference as to how well done it is. I personally like my steaks cooked medium rare. I think it leaves the meat a little more tender and juicy.
Regarding meat, it's completely random. Everyone has their own preference. One of the reasons American food is so good is because they aren't burdened by cultural norms. With food, there are no rules! Eat whatever you like however you like.
Exactly! I don't drink wine, but it reminds me of how they have "rules" like, you must drink white wine with certain foods and red with others. Everyone's taste is different and if someone likes red wine with fish or white wine with beef, then they aren't wrong. No one should eat something in a way they don't like just because other people tell them that's the way it must be done!
In Texas, the standard and most popular way to cook a steak is medium rare, but you can get it cooked however you want. I typically get mine cooked medium because I personally like it a bit less chewy. The Taste of Texas in Houston is recommended, but this isn't an inexpensive steakhouse. Be prepared to spend $80 (or more) on a single steak here. It wouldn't be unexpected to spend $300 on a meal for 2 after taxes and tip.
Last comment (I usually only leave one, but we’re talking about meat here). I don’t do dessert. I prefer the meat with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Gotta start with a simple chilled salad with ranch or balsamic dressing too.
If y'all come to Texas you also have to try some Tex Mex it's the other main food we eat here besides BBQ. If you come to Austin specifically you should go to Matt's El Rancho!
I was born and raised in Arlington, Texas, which is the suburb of Dallas, Texas, and all the people that I know when we order steak we tell the server just knock its horns off, wipe its ass and throw it on a plate
I live in Houston. Not sure you guys realize how big the state is so once you get closer to wehen you come may have a decision on where you go. San Antonio, Austin. Dallas. Houston/Galveston. If you're just coming as a foodie i would stay in Austin where there is a Terry Black's and Texas Roadhouse, tomahawk steak, then you can easily get to San Antonio with the good Tex-Mex food and if you crave seafood then drive 3-4 hours to Galveston. Renting a car would be advisable
What you said about some culinary experts say a steak has to be rare to medium rare. Some chefs, in other states, might refuse to cook it any other way. In Texas, we say we’re paying for it so it should be cooked however the hell we want it. Personally I like it medium well. It should have a thin line of pink through the center. The problem is most places don’t know how to cook med well as they hurry it so it comes out with your partners steak which may be just medium.
All states have BBQ. There are also different breeds of cattle used for BBQ. Most southern states use Longhorn for their cooking while the Midwest uses Angus and some of the states around the Rockies use Bison. Basically you can use the same cut off of each, cook exactly the same way, time ect and you will have different tastes. Also, alot of places take pride in their BBQ so be careful there. Texas is known for eating beef (bbq, smoked,ect) but Kansas City is very prided on their BBQ. Tennessee is also known for theirs as well. Each state has their own version of soul foods, comfort foods, BBQ, fast foods and all.
Bottom line on a beef steak the longer you cook it the tougher an less juicer it is so you pick you want tough an dry get med well you want juicy an tender med rare
If you’re coming to Austin for Terry Blacks, you also need to go to Amaya’s taco Village. Stay away from TexMex and just go for the straight Mexican food. It’s much much better.
Medium Rare!!! Keeps all the moisture in but is warm all the way through and just delicious!! Anything over medium - it loses a lot of the juices - and well done - well if you like to chew a lot - go for it! LOL I'm from Ohio where we have lots of beef cattle farms and same darn good steaks too! But seriously most eat their steaks medium rare to medium . . . Medium well to well . . . you are ruining the delicious steak! And yes, they are eating my favorite cut of the steak - the Ribeye!!! These are both ribeye steaks!!! Delicious!
In terms of the cook on your steak, it depends on your age, usually and how much beef you have eaten in your life at different temperatures. Once you eat medium rare and can put aside whatever preconceptions and fears about the color and then enjoy the tenderness, you'll be disappointed by medium, because it's overcooked. That said, my older Sister still has this hangup from childhood and her kids have inherited it - my Brother in Law almost cried at how he had to overcook a prime rib for Thanksgiving just so they would eat it. If you like the texture of tougher meat - more power to you - jerky is great, too. All in all, order it how you like it, psychological or tactile reasons are both valid. Land of the free!
I’d say most people in the US prefer medium rare. I do as well. I just don’t get why people get mad when people have theirs well done 😂. It’s all preference. If there’s a right and wrong to food preferences then black coffee is the only way and corn tortillas for tacos is the only way. 😃
I prefer Medium rare. it's cooked through but the redness is cooked but still wonderfully tender. Texans are like everyday people preferences for all Americans vary.
Mid rare is the sweet spot of Steak - however, Mid all the way to Rare is common. If I know how the meat is aged & trust the butcher, I will eat a Blue steak (which is the rarest version). The aging must be done well for you to enjoy a good blue steak. When I go out, I tend to eat Mid Rare. I'll get the Cowboy cut over the Tomahawk version since they are the same cut of meat. I just don't have to work around the bone with the Cowboy!
It has nothing to do with Texas. Everyone has their own preference on hie their steak is cooked. However, all over the US if you dine st a nice steak house medium rare is the ideal temp and what the chefs would recommend, maybe even rare at some places or some cuts if steak such as filet mignon 8:56
The way a steak is cooked is always individual preference. With that said, in the more high-end steakhouses, the chef will frown upon cooking to a Well Done. Medium Well is the farthest they might go.
I love my steak extra rare, still red in the middle. I eat all other meat well, especially ground meat. Once you grind meat any bacteria on the❤ surface can be spread throughout the meat. Of course, pork, chicken and ham need to be fully cooked😂❤.
thats medium rare , some texas folk like blue rare where it's raw in the middle. but that looks what average people get medium rare pecan pie is amazing
You can ask them to cook the steak however you wish. I would say never do "well done" but that's just me. I go for "medium rare" steaks. The steaks in this video look absolutely amazing 🤤 You guys just need to hurry and get to Texas!
FYI, for the most tender steak experience, Medium rare is the only way to eat steak. I used to think the same way you do, but whatever juices you see coming out of the steak IS NOT BLOOD! There's a name for it, but I can't think of it at this moment.
Medium Rare to Rare depending on the mood I'm in... that maintains more of the flavor! Anything more than Medium Rare and you start killing (cooking out) the taste, and make the meat tougher!
I like my steak medium rare. My dad likes his burnt and my mom likes hers rare. They’re 91 and 86 so I guess they can eat them the way they want!😂 Hope y’all have a wonderful experience when you visit the USA!!🇺🇸
It depends on the actual cut of meat, how rare it should be. There is no other way to do it. 🇺🇸certified answer! The most tender cuts are bloody rare in the center and seared on the outside. Those are the most expensive cuts.
As an American most people have their steak medium or medium rare because anything more you are taking the chance of cooking the amazing flavor out of the steak and it becomes just like any other bland unforgettable steak that you can get any where. My ex-wife was a WELL DONE kind of steak eater and I finally got her to try a bite of my medium rare steak and it completely changed the way that she had her streak from that point. You don't want to cook out the flavor juices of any piece of meat (only cow). The juices are were all of the flavors of the meat is. Chicken or pork you want medium to sell done because of the things that you can get from eating under cooked bird or pork. It is just not something smart to do.
I'm here in Houston Texas and it gets old everyone reacting to the same videos. Stay up there and talk about what goes on there! Either come to Texas and make your own videos or leave Texas alone!
I find medium to medium rare tendvto be the averag5e in my social circle. I was rare when i was in late teens to late 20s then went to medium rare to medium depending on who cooks my steak.
When visit the states I think you schedule one month for Texas food tour, just saying. My preference is med rare as you see on the video, it sounds like you should order med well, only a little pink inside.
The two steaks were both ribeyes. One on the rib bone, and one with the bone removed. Most steak houses will recommend medium rare to medium. Many restaurants have disclaimers that they are not responsible for steaks ordered well done.
You never disrespect a good steak by cooking the flavor out of it
When I lived in SE Asia & the UK, I always ordered my steak medium well or well done & smothered it with steak sauce (or ketchup). Not until I moved to the US and was exposed to high-quality/well-prepared steak did I switch to medium-rare.
I love this!!!!!!!!!!! So happy you love it MR.
They are at the TASTE OF TEXAS restaurant in Houston Texas at 10505 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 7702
My family is from Texas and that restaurant is famous for their incredible steaks I amazing sides. That thing that Fats thought was a shrimp is really a stuffed jalapeno pepper that we call JALAPENO POPPERS. They are very addictive. Once you start to eat them it takes definite will power to stop!!! If you have ever have the frozen ones they are nothing like them at the restaurant. Just wanted to help you guys.
Medium rare is typically how most Americans eat a steak.
The steakhouse is Taste of Texas, in Houston.
Jalepeno poppers are halved jalepenos stuffed with creamcheese and either wrapped in bacon or battered and fried. When fried they look like butterfly shrimp. Very easy to make at home in the oven. And depending on the quality of steak, usually medium-rare is the suggested but of course you can pick whatever you want although connoisseurs will think "what a waste" if you ask for well done. (although for cheap/questionable cuts well done is probably the smarter option) And some cuts are terribly tough and need to be slow cooked to become tender (like brisket).
Medium rare. 🥩 Hello from Dallas, TX. Wait until you have Tex Mex. It’s amazing as well.
Bobby Hill : What if somebody wants theirs well-done?
Hank Hill : We ask them politely, yet firmly, to leave.
This is perfect. Medium rare. It preserves the juiciness and full flavor of the meat
Everyone has their own preference but rare maintains it's tenderness and flavor.
people dont understand just how big the us is. I live in new york on the west side of the state and its about 400 miles(650km) to nyc. you can visit some states and spend a month exploring if you research the area well or know someone.
In the US we are just overrun with the amount of cattle. normally beef is pretty reasonable.
I’m from Texas and I can say it depends on each individual person on how they like their steak. I like medium rare. Great reaction video!
Anyone that is just saying it's a Texas steakhouse is under selling it. THIS place is an experience. We have someone that came in from the mid-west and he still talks about it every meeting we have. They walk you to the butcher shop and YOU pick which grade you want, how much fat, how thick...and then they tag it with your info...that's how you identify it when it gets to your table. When in Houston...there are several top notch restaraunts that will soon come out on the Michelin stars and I will be shocked if this is not listed
In Texas, if your steak doesn't MOO, it's over cooked
You have to come to San Antonio, TX, we not only have TX BBQ but we are home to the best Tex Mex. Breakfast tacos, puffy tacos. The river walk, the missions, including the Alamo. We have our beautiful pearl district, and sea world six flags Fiesta Texas San Antonio zoo. A lot to do here. Two restaurants I suggest is Mi Tierra and Ray's drive inn.
Medium rare is what everyone should do for these types of steaks because typically cooking it anymore loses a lot more moisture and tends to make it tougher.
Us Texans are definitely proud of our foods. Like the big state of Texas, everything is big here. 👍🏼
if someone at my house asked for a steak to be cooked longer than medium rare i would ask them to leave lol
I cook it however they want because freedom but I am also not responsible for how dry or tough it might or might not be if over cooked lol 😆
Medium rare is my preference, however, you can specify how you like your steak cooked.
Rare steaks every time for me. As a FYI those types of steaks can be found all over the US in any city. I live in a small city with a population of 40K that's 10mins away from a city that's 650K. Both have delicious steaks readily available.
It's not just Texas you get those types of foods and flavors. It's throughout the south
You can get it in the north as well...and just as good.
Those streaks look perfect. Steaks cooked higher than medium rare is a crime in my opinion.
Just depends on the cut of steak tbh ribeye still is juicy and flavorful at medium due to the high fat content. But most steak should be medium rare
I like my steaks medium. When I was young, I preferred well done, then later moved to medium well, now just medium. When ordering at a restaurant, you tell them how you want it cooked, and they will try to cook it to your preference. ❤

Pecan pie definitely will be in heaven 🤤🤤
Fun fact, Texans love Pecon Pie so much they have vending machines with Pecon pies so people can buy them 24 hours. I live in Austin Texas, there's one 20 minutes away from me! Terry Blacks isnt the best BBQ in Austin, Franklins BBQ is far better.

Love my steak cooked Medium Well. Its cooked a little more than in the video and is light pink or tan inside instead of red.
Key lime pie is one of my favorite desserts. It is sweet and tangy at the same time. That and tiramisu are my favorite desserts.

Both steaks are the exact same,but one without the bone. Medium rare is a must try for first timers ✌️

Come to San Francisco and have Pacific Dungeness Crab…there are some really exciting restaurants in San Francisco…
If y'all come to Texas you also have to try some Tex Mex it's the other main food we eat here besides BBQ. If you come to Austin specifically you should go to Matt's El Rancho!
A lot of people like their food medium rare (pink-red) in the middle, but that’s only some folks but generally its preference
I was born and raised in Arlington, Texas, which is the suburb of Dallas, Texas, and all the people that I know when we order steak we tell the server just knock its horns off, wipe its ass and throw it on a plate
"Run it through the dining room and I'll bite it as it goes by" is another one I've heard, though less often than your phrase ;-)
Everyone has their own preference as to the doneness of their steak. I personally like mine just a little pink in the middle, or medium well.
I like all 3 of those, but Pecan Pie is my favorite. So delicious
I live in Houston. Not sure you guys realize how big the state is so once you get closer to wehen you come may have a decision on where you go. San Antonio, Austin. Dallas. Houston/Galveston.

Take it from a person who used to eat their steak well done, medium rare is the way to go. And, my favorite pie is Pecan pie.
All states have BBQ. There are also different breeds of cattle used for BBQ. Most southern states use Longhorn for their cooking while the Midwest uses Angus and some of the states around the Rockies use Bison.

Each state has their own version of soul foods, comfort foods, BBQ, fast foods and all.
Texas bbq all the way.
Texas breeds all kinds of cattle. Not just Longhorns. And we don't tend to use those as food. Just to clarify.
Medium rare for me...that looks perfect. Most others I have met here prefers it that way as well.
Just remember the distances between places. It's massive just between dallas and houston could take you 5 hrs.
Meat is done to the personal taste...rare, medium rare, medium, well done!
….. or blue.
Bottom line on a beef steak the longer you cook it the tougher an less juicer it is so you pick you want tough an dry get med well you want juicy an tender med rare
The restaurant is in Houston. Pretty popular place its called Taste of Texas.
Medium rare is what most people have. Anything else is wrong.
If you’re coming to Austin for Terry Blacks, you also need to go to Amaya’s taco Village. Stay away from TexMex and just go for the straight Mexican food. It’s much much better.
Medium Rare!!! Keeps all the moisture in but is warm all the way through and just delicious!! Anything over medium - it loses a lot of the juices - and well done - well if you like to chew a lot - go for it! LOL I'm from Ohio where we have lots of beef cattle farms and same darn good steaks too! But seriously most eat their steaks medium rare to medium . . . Medium well to well . . . you are ruining the delicious steak! And yes, they are eating my favorite cut of the steak - the Ribeye!!! These are both ribeye steaks!!! Delicious!
Lots of variation in how people like their meat prepared but I believe rare is the most common.
The better the cut and meat quality the more rare you want it but medium rare is typically the go to
In terms of the cook on your steak, it depends on your age, usually and how much beef you have eaten in your life at different temperatures. Once you eat medium rare and can put aside whatever preconceptions and fears about the color and then enjoy the tenderness, you'll be disappointed by medium, because it's overcooked. That said, my older Sister still has this hangup from childhood and her kids have inherited it - my Brother in Law almost cried at how he had to overcook a prime rib for Thanksgiving just so they would eat it. If you like the texture of tougher meat - more power to you - jerky is great, too. All in all, order it how you like it, psychological or tactile reasons are both valid. Land of the free!
Well said. I feel for your brother in law. Steak sacrilege I say!
Can't wait to see you guys go to the US!
I’d say most people in the US prefer medium rare. I do as well. I just don’t get why people get mad when people have theirs well done 😂. It’s all preference.
If there’s a right and wrong to food preferences then black coffee is the only way and corn tortillas for tacos is the only way. 😃
I prefer Medium rare. it's cooked through but the redness is cooked but still wonderfully tender. Texans are like everyday people preferences for all Americans vary.
Well, i have no teeth, so i like my steak ground. 😂😂😂.
Share your list of visits. Like the Noahs ark replica. A MUST VISIT🎉🎉🎉
Louisiana soul food a must try.
Mid rare is the sweet spot of Steak - however, Mid all the way to Rare is common. If I know how the meat is aged & trust the butcher, I will eat a Blue steak (which is the rarest version). The aging must be done well for you to enjoy a good blue steak. When I go out, I tend to eat Mid Rare.
I'll get the Cowboy cut over the Tomahawk version since they are the same cut of meat. I just don't have to work around the bone with the Cowboy!
It has nothing to do with Texas. Everyone has their own preference on hie their steak is cooked. However, all over the US if you dine st a nice steak house medium rare is the ideal temp and what the chefs would recommend, maybe even rare at some places or some cuts if steak such as filet mignon 8:56
The way a steak is cooked is always individual preference. With that said, in the more high-end steakhouses, the chef will frown upon cooking to a Well Done. Medium Well is the farthest they might go.
a lot of fancy streak resturants will only do medium rare. or below anymore. they tell you to go to mcdonalds cause you ruined the steak
I love my steak extra rare, still red in the middle. I eat all other meat well, especially ground meat. Once you grind meat any bacteria on the❤ surface can be spread throughout the meat. Of course, pork, chicken and ham need to be fully cooked😂❤.
Im a native texan and i like my steak rare or medium rare depending on the cut of steak
Medium rare Porterhouse is my preference, but when it comes to steak, I'll eat any cut cooked any way.
It depends on the person when it comes to steak
Medium rare! The only way to eat it. But US beef is much fattier
thats medium rare , some texas folk like blue rare where it's raw in the middle. but that looks what average people get medium rare pecan pie is amazing
You can ask them to cook the steak however you wish. I would say never do "well done" but that's just me. I go for "medium rare" steaks. The steaks in this video look absolutely amazing 🤤 You guys just need to hurry and get to Texas!
FYI, for the most tender steak experience, Medium rare is the only way to eat steak. I used to think the same way you do, but whatever juices you see coming out of the steak IS NOT BLOOD! There's a name for it, but I can't think of it at this moment.
Key Limes are grown in the Florida Keys
Medium Rare to Rare depending on the mood I'm in... that maintains more of the flavor! Anything more than Medium Rare and you start killing (cooking out) the taste, and make the meat tougher!
You need to see the episode of Josh and Ollie going bungee jumping.
I like my steak medium rare. My dad likes his burnt and my mom likes hers rare. They’re 91 and 86 so I guess they can eat them the way they want!😂 Hope y’all have a wonderful experience when you visit the USA!!🇺🇸
It depends on the actual cut of meat, how rare it should be. There is no other way to do it. 🇺🇸certified answer! The most tender cuts are bloody rare in the center and seared on the outside. Those are the most expensive cuts.
Here in Texas, we don’t f*ck around when it comes to meat. You wouldn’t believe my outdoor bbq setup. It’s standard fare here tho
As an American most people have their steak medium or medium rare because anything more you are taking the chance of cooking the amazing flavor out of the steak and it becomes just like any other bland unforgettable steak that you can get any where. My ex-wife was a WELL DONE kind of steak eater and I finally got her to try a bite of my medium rare steak and it completely changed the way that she had her streak from that point. You don't want to cook out the flavor juices of any piece of meat (only cow). The juices are were all of the flavors of the meat is. Chicken or pork you want medium to sell done because of the things that you can get from eating under cooked bird or pork. It is just not something smart to do.
I like my steak medium rare. Those people are so good at cooking a steak you would absolutely love it regardless.
I'm here in Houston Texas and it gets old everyone reacting to the same videos. Stay up there and talk about what goes on there! Either come to Texas and make your own videos or leave Texas alone!
I find medium to medium rare tendvto be the averag5e in my social circle. I was rare when i was in late teens to late 20s then went to medium rare to medium depending on who cooks my steak.
Check out the living with an American pickup truck in a British village video.
Some of the best steakhouses in the US are located in New York City.
When visit the states I think you schedule one month for Texas food tour, just saying. My preference is med rare as you see on the video, it sounds like you should order med well, only a little pink inside.
