Is rare steak "classy"?

[Anonymous]

Is it unsophisticated to order steak any way other than medium-rare or rare? I definitely get that vibe.

Correct.

Woman, just order the steak the way you like it cooked. That would be the true classy way.

It's meant to be eaten either medium rare or rare. Cooks like food to taste its best and that's how steak's flavors come out best. But they know they're cooking for all kinds of people and if you want it well done, they'll do that.

Yes. I would actually go farther and say only medium rare is what foodies will order.

Medium or well-done is the way to ruin a good steak.

Yes. Shiws you have good taste.

It means the quality of the meat is good

I order mine black and blue. I like the char plus rare.

Thank you. I wonder about people who tailor themselves along the idea of what "classy" looks like. Please order food the way you like to eat it? Wear clothes that flatter you and make you feel good? Etc.

Kindness is "classy." Let's start there.

I will take this a step further, in true DCUM fashion, to say that the use of the word foodie is not classy and true foodies would never call themselves that.

People who like their steak rare or MR are quick to say it's "classy" because it flatters them to believe that. In truth, preferred taste and texture are totally subjective. Yes, it's considered more sophisticated to prefer less-cooked steak, but who cares. Steak's expensive - order it how you like it! I like mine either MR or medium, depending on the restaurant's definition (red but hot through) and I have no shame about it nor do I care how others order theirs.

Will always order my steak well done. I didn't eat red meat for many, many years and this is the only way I can stomach it.

No, steak are prepared rare or mr b/c that is the way to get the best taste. If you do not like that, you do not like steak order something else. As for classy, it's more about a lack of understanding the food and how to eat it.

It's not about "classy" or not. It's about being somewhat educated about food. Well-done steak is drier and less flavorful. You are taking the steak right up to the edge of burning it. It destroys the flavor and the texture. If you are going to eat well done steak, you might as well get cheaper steak and cook it at home. You are not getting anything out of paying a chef to cook it for you.
