Medium is perfect for me. Not too bloody, and not too tough.

I can probably guess everybody here does not know the correct criteria for "well done" "medium-rare" etc...

However, I do and I like any meat that I am going to eat, well done.

Medium to Medium Well at a Restaurant. If my wife or dad cook them, Medium-Rare because they know exactly how I like them.

I guess I should specify how you ask for it at a restaurant.

Medium or medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak - medium for thicker ones, as it presents a better balance of raw and cooked. When I cut into a steak, though, there has to be blood seeping out onto my plate.

I love filet mignon and prime rib medium rare if I am in a reputable restaurant, if I am in some hole in the wall place, I usually ask for medium.

medium rare, in case they under do it. otherwise, a steak that's red in the middle doesn't bother me. yet, steak tartare is way under for me.

Medium rare if I cook them. But at a steakhouse medium because they cook their steaks for less time.

Rare, I like the texture, and too much cooking can ruin a perfect steak IMO.

Well done, cooked through with no pink and some char, very hard to cook a properly done well done steak.

Medium Rare, unless if the restaurant seems a bit shady (in which case I wouldn't get a steak anyway, but I digress). Working at a steakhouse that serves USDA Prime kinda spoiled me. >_>

Rare, or as my uncle once put it, "bleeding". More tender, flavorful, and juicy that way, and more of the flavoring is kept. Grilled preferred over broiled.

Medium at a restaurant, if I make it on the grill I go rare to medim rare. Too many different ideas about what constitutes rare. I'd sooner order prime rib though.

Medium to well-done, unless it's a proper steak place, where you practically have to get them to burn it to make sure you don't get salmonella (and so that any tampons stand out).

I used to like Well, but now I'm more of a fan of medium. I like a bit of the pinkness to remind me I'm eating meat.

Medium rare, still bleeding but not too much. I feel like anything over medium is just a waste of a steak. I think you might as well have a burger at that point.

Medium-rare. Juicy enough to be tasty and cooked enough to feel like you're not going to get sick. I don't know how people can eat it well. It's like eating an eraser.

If you're going to try one medium rare, I recommend a prime rib, the color may throw you off because prime rib is a little pinker than other cuts even when cooked, but the flavor and tenderness will be undeniably good, I'd also recommend a filet mignon.

I don't eat steak.

But I like my burgers medium-well. My mom hates that though.
