[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who like their steak rare and medium rare, can you describe exactly what it is about this texture and flavor that comes out? I've had medium-rare (which was on the rare-r side) and it was...chewy. I don't know, I felt it wasn't easy to eat. But I am genuinely curious to hear what exactly it is that comes out in less "done" steaks?[/quote] A good cut of meat properly seared and medium rare shouldn't be chewy, it should be tender, juicy, and flavorful. Searing the meat produces the [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction[/url] which gives the meat a flavorful brown crust, without causing the interior of the proteins to denature causing them to dry out and become tough.[/quote]
