When he took our steaks off the grill, he took his and threw it on the grill for 5 seconds on each side and ate it that way. *hurl*

Interesting way to bypass the need for it to cook so long. It was probably warm all the way through, but still very rare. Can't say I'd do that.
I don't mind it pretty damn rare (like a couple of cuts I got at Estancia Churrascaria last night) but since ribeyes are my steak of choice, I have to cook them a little bit longer to make sure all the marbling gets properly heated. Uncooked fat in the middle of your steak is un-win.

That said, if we're talking BBQ or other similarly smoked meats, I can handle the lack of red in the meat. But steak... I want to know it came from an animal; not some chewy, pinkish gray, lifeless mass of protein.

You have to work up to it.
If I don't eat steak for a long time, it gets to me too.
But keeping those intestinal bacteria fortified helps quite a bit.

I'd love to eat steak more often. Seems I have lived my 40 years on a steady diet of chips n salsa and wienie sammiches.

Have enough preservatives and poly unsaturated fats in me that when I die they wont have to embalm me!
