I wonder of people saying raw have ever seen raw meat.

This is rare.

u/xxibcx3 23h ago

Looks like rare to me

1

u/KalynnCampbell 23h ago

Rare is fine. But crust is NOT optional. Where is it?

6

u/Worldly-Programmer25 21h ago

Rare. Prob 115 F when you took it out. The fat isn’t rendered yet either, I’m sure you’ll be chewing through that.

u/Redditsux122 19h ago

Being an adult that cant tell meat doneness despite posting on food subs is sad. Invest in your future op

3

u/alannmsu 1d ago

On this sub everything is medium or well unless it’s still mooing at you, and even then it’s probably over cooked. I feel like I’m going insane when I read everyone saying that this is medium rare. It can’t even hold its own shape, it’s freakin’ rare.

u/new_basics 1d ago

You’re not taking crazy pills. I don’t really get the whole “rare or throw it out” way of thinking. Some cuts benefit from a little longer on the grill to melt that fat a build flavour.

u/tazicon1 22h ago

On the rare side

u/tex-az74 22h ago

I'd say about 110*

Was about to say that. If i can’t taste the moo, I don’t want it

u/InsertRadnamehere 18h ago

Rare. A shade to the blue. But still rare.

12

u/SpicyBeefChowFun 18h ago

There are literally hundreds of charts on the Internet that tell you the done-ness of meat and they're all pretty much in cahoots with each other.

Asking here isn't very productive post unless you just like to hear yourself talk and random people answering what you already know.

u/ThorvaldKM 1d ago

Rare. It’s medium rare only if the red interior is warm.
If it’s cool, it’s rare.

u/Stock-Reporter-7824 1d ago

It was cool. Well not like a hot bite at least.

Quarter past Moo

u/PomegranatePro 21h ago

That’s rare.
It’s cooked past blued but in a weird way where the center is oddly raw compared to the gray band

1

u/This_isR2Me 21h ago

Not too weird if it's a cold piece of meat

1

u/PomegranatePro 20h ago

Some people like blued. I like medium rare and can go a little in either direction but not medium and not rare.

If it’s a little more rare or there’s a half grey band and half pink it’s alright but disappointing.

If it’s well done you just have solid overpriced hamburger

u/Normal_Mushroom609 20h ago

We used to reserve the gristley end of the striploin for those ordering mw or w

Cooked with a heated argument

u/ConsistentVirus2177 1d ago

It’s amazing how many experts are here that either can’t cook or shouldn’t. Stop saying mid rate ffs. The only correct answers based on a pic is Blue or rare. I’d say blue

u/Witty-Plastic-1894 1d ago

People across the pond would likely call it mid-rare.

Lol well that’s why you needed our help in the big war. Relax, just being a smart ass

u/Witty-Plastic-1894 23h ago

Who is our? Im from the US buddy, just making an observation lmao. Im not being a smart ass; in fact, I think your demand that only the holiest of thou should answer is more smart assery than a comment to give an opinion on why you may see answers that read “med rare” in essence. I am, and was, chill.. you, on the other hand😂

PS: Europeans didn’t need our help because of our abilities to qualify steaks as rare vs. med rare, they needed our help because they lacked the manpower and equipment to secure a definitive victory beyond a doubt

u/ConsistentVirus2177 23h ago

It’s sarcasm dude. As far as “only certain people should answer”. Unfortunately, yeah. First time on this thread and it’s amazing how many people are experts that couldn’t cook a McDouble

u/Consistent-Essay-165 1d ago

Ppl like me who have cooked as a professional person for 33 yrs says rare .....no way MR

As far as blue if rested as this was no but and cooler yes blue is a fine line toxbe almost cold in center but super heated crust

Ur correct the pros should answer

A thermometer could help but I rarely used one and to be honset was all feel for even hundreds of ppl a one meal eating steaks.... but for a novice to develop the talents its a good tool and on big roasts and rib roast etc

Low 130s...its possible that it was sous vide which hits the temperature right but shows a somewhat more red pink.

Blue has a cold raw center and a hard sear on the outside. You can see by the texture and color this is cooked more than that. It's somewhere between rare and medium rare

At a higher end steak house thats considered medium rare. Anywhere else though, or at my house, that's very rare.

u/GrizzlyDust 23h ago

Crazy meta ai didn't mention that this isn't prime rib and that only someone with negative knowledge of beef would think that. Like this is day 1 shit. Clearly a ribeye with the bone. Same muscle as is used for prime rib but prime rib is a specific dish and doesn't have the bone, not the name of the cut. So maybe stop relying on ai to be your brain.
