Related: About this forumOMG I had the best Rib-Eye steak
It was tender, 1.5 inches thick, and was cooked enough so that I was aware that the breath was knocked out of it, and my fork and knife could do the rest.
Good Lord it was good!
How do you like your steak cooked?

but I live in the Southern United States, and you pretty much have to elaborate like I just did to get it done correctly. Unless you are in St. Pete, FL and go to Bern's Steakhouse.

(24,365 posts)1) add ice to shaker
2) add vodka or gin
3) whisper "vermouth" in the general direction of the shaker
4) shake and pour
Hee hee

(39,961 posts)It does need to be cooked a shade. I like very rare lamb and beef. If you get a tender cut of either, marinating it is nearly enough to make it melt in your mouth. Blacken it on both sides, serve.
That does not apply whatsoever to pork or chicken. Burn those up for me, thank you.

(39,961 posts)I think it could have been done just about anyway other than kill it with fire and I would have enjoyed it.
Though it rocked "knock the horns off of it" the way I had it

Yes, she likes hers the same as you do.
Yep, or you can order it bleu and they mostly know what you mean in a good steakhouse
ETA: Black and Bleu on a very nice cut of meat:
Aging steaks to the point where they are highly tender is possibly where the term came from, because highly aged steaks that do well rare are very tender and get a bluish to green cast to them on the outside. Steaks are still red in the center when cooked even if aged, and the finest ones, you really do just need to sear them on one side and then the other then plate them because the aging process does it's own cooking - the searing hides the greening LOL.
BIG ETA: NONE of this is done at home, and never should be. NEVER EVER eat steaks that are green from anywhere but a highly qualified butcher, and even then, it's really a term to describe huge hangings of meat. Most of the time that gets scraped off, but it isn't frightening in exceptional meats of great thickness to have a bit of this "rind" still left. But as a rule, this is reserved for meat you know.
