I like mine to be medium rare because the meat is tender, soft and juicy. The best partner for steak is mashed potato or the German noodle so as called spatzle. I tried eating steak before that's well done and I didn't like it at all. The meat was very hard and when you chew it, its like bubble gum.

I prefer my steak medium well. I'll agree that it tastes better when it's not as done, but I just can't bring myself to eat much that way. Just some pink in the middle for me, not red and oozing blood, I just can't bring myself to eat much that way. I like mashed potatoes or twice baked potatoes as a side.

I like eating mine rare, although I have had it well done before and it was still good - not tough or chewy. Maybe it depends on the cut of the meat?

It depends on my mood that day. Usually I go with a medium rare steak. I also really like it to be very flavorful. I just bought a flat iron steak from the store and plan to use a whole lot of grill seasoning when I grill it up. Some days, if I am at restaraut I will order it medium, but I really have to be in the mood for it.

rare. it's sweeter and more tender. the only downside is that it gets cold quicker. but the taste is so worth it.

I like my steak to be medium to medium-well. I love to have steak and macaroni and cheese together. Or a nice baked potato.

I like my steak rare or even "black and blue." If the meat is cooked too much I don't like the taste or the consistency. Sometimes it really freaks out my friends as to how rare I will eat my meat. I can't help it though. I was brought up in a family that always ate their meat (well really mostly beef) quite rare. I know that it isn't always the safest thing to eat my meat really rare, so I usually save it for times that I go to really nice restaurants where I know they will do it right.
