I work at a Miami International Airport restaurant and a lot of customers order their Ribeyes medium/well to well done, and i think it's ridiculous how people can eat the meat so hard. I personaly order my Ribeye Medium.

Yours?

Back when I ate meat, I liked my ribeye medium to medium rare. Not too bloody.

Medium rare to medium. Well done is a travesty. It makes me want to cry for the poor cow that died in vain.

My mom only likes meat well done, and my dad quit eating meat when I was a teenager, so on the rare occasions we had steak, it was some ordinary cut cooked to death. When I started dating my husband, he grilled me up a thick ribeye and showed me what I was missing.

My kids still eat meat, and for my son's 10th birthday last year he wanted steak. He ate a 16-oz T-bone by himself. His 11th is coming up in May and has already told me he wants TWO steaks this year.

Medium-rare. I like my steak mooing but not bleeding.

Medium rare, a well prepared steak doesn't need to be ruined with steak sauce.

Medium rare to medium. As husband gets older, he is liking his steak more and more done. I. CAN. NOT. cook a well done steak! I start his about 10 minutes before I even put mine on, and it's still not "well" done.

I realize we all have different attitudes toward food; In fact toward most things, but I can't understand anyone paying for a rib eye and then asking it to be cooked med well or well done. For us, rare is the word of the day, if not rare certainly med or med rare. For those who like well done steak, choose a lesser cut.

ANG: for us, the older we get or at least spoiled brat the rarer he likes it. He was raised in a family that thought well done was the only way to eat meat and thought a steak was the same as a hamburger patty or steak meant swiss or chicken fried. His mom never like prime rib either so he didn't know anything about really tasty meat.

I do not eat steak. SO had a nice 20 oz ribeye medium rare last night. It smelled and looked delicious.
But to each his own. Some prefer their meat completely cooked, others prefer the horns knocked off.

Yea, it's a pain in the behind. When a customer orders a Ribeye medium and medium-rare it's usually finished in 7-10 minutes (depending on the size and quality of meat). Piece of cake.

But when it's WD, 20 freaking minutes .
