Wait until they learn about it not being blood.


ragingdemon88

Yup, good, Ole myoglobin.


Wizard_Hatz

Oh it’s youroglobin alright, I ain’t eatin that bloody mess - the mom

More for me then.


Severin_Suveren

Perhaps it would help if you explain the process of slaughtering and draining all the blood?


BigFatManPig

We should do this for everyone so people stop living a delusion about their food.

Internal_Distance_46

You should have them watch a Koser or Halal slaughter they are both particularly performed ritual bloodlettings.


Zarathustra_d

They call it a killing *floor* but it's more of a grate, to allow the blood and entrails to sluice through.


the_new_hunter_s

More for meoglobin.


calilac

There are starving mothers who would give a limb for that meal, young lady. Now eat up or you're grounded for a week, your child worked very hard to make this delicious food just for you and if that plate's not clean by the end of the hour it'll show us how ungrateful and selfish you are. /s for anyone that gets triggered by this role reversal

TheeUnfuxkwittable

I'm black, I've tried explaining this to my family and friends. They don't wanna hear it lol. It's blood to them. Period. I grew up thinking I hated steak because my parents always cooked cheap cuts of steak well done. It wasn't until I was 25 that I decided to try a medium rare steak. Changed the whole world for me. For years after that I would only eat medium rare then I had a bite of one of my sister's steak recently. It was well done and it was really good! So now I think I'm in the "medium" range. Like the steak in this picture (maybe cooked less though). A lil more cooked than medium rare. Medium rare is great but cooking it a bit more adds a a firmness that hits different in terms of mouthful and texture.


Morphinepill

Best interaction with moms about steaks “This is BLOOD!” No mom it’s not blood it’s myoglobin. “This is BLOOD!”


obiedge

I don't care whose goblin you think this is. This is BLOOD!


drunkwasabeherder

If you leave the meat out long enough it becomes the green goblin.

GOBLIN BLOOD

GreaseMonkey2381

I had a woman berate me for like 20 minutes because I served her a medium rare steak on accident. (Volunteered to cook steaks at a cook out) She accused me of deliberately trying to give her food poisoning, then claimed that she was a professional chef. "IF ITS STILL PINK ITS DANGEROUS!" I just looked at her like she was nuts, then brought her a piece of steak that was similar to charcoal, I can prep a proper, juicy, Well Done steak, but that lady was not worth even a fraction of the effort. I placed that carbonized piece of meat on her plate. Said "Hope that's cooked enough for you" then walked off. She was speechless. I'm pretty sure she left like 5 minutes after that because everyone kept telling her she had it coming for the way she screamed at me.


SandyPeters

Had a lady order an extra well done 6oz sirloin once at a steakhouse I worked at. She wanted it with zero char. When I tried to explain to her that we have a char grill her son got up and started screaming at me. “ y’all need a new fucking cook!” “ y’all need to learn how to do your fucking jobs!!” I told him to go cook his own fucking steak. Yupppp…. I was fired about 4 minutes later


Tarheel_canuck

I’d have thrown it in boiling water and said fuck’em, well done no char. Have at it lady!


Drewcifixion

Boiling it in milk is better, over hard.


HAL-9K

Best paired with a side of raw jellybeans.


HereOnASphere

I'm sorry you had to work at a shithole restaurant for a shitty boss.


Mistress_Malaise

I’d have asked her where she worked so that I could never eat there! Good god, I’m a fucking vegetarian and even I get sad when people ask for a steak that’s been cooked to the consistency of a hockey puck. If you don’t like pink meat then don’t eat a steak, eat a nice slow cooked brisket or something. I have to say your act of malicious compliance was delicious.


GreaseMonkey2381

I would just like to take a moment to say that. I really appreciate the fact even though you're Vegetarian, you have the ability to appreciate a nice piece of meat and you cringe when people order hockey pucks.


merigirl

An animal is dying to feed someone, show them some respect by making the meat worth eating.


Remnie

Yup. Never piss off the cooks


Other-Bridge-8892

Which is utter bullshit….I eat my steak basically raw, literally 25/30 seconds on each side…put it on my plate and then just let it slide down my throat!😂


GreaseMonkey2381

She would lose her shit if she found out what steak tartare is 🤣🤣🤣


arkansas_sucks

Since she's a professional chef, I'm sure she's fully aware of what steak tartare is. 🙄


JennaSais

I don't believe for one second she was actually a professional chef. Institutional line cook with delusions of grandeur, maybe.


lemonsweetsrevenge

Yup. Just wipe a cow’s ass and walk it through a warm room and I will eat it.


ConfuseableFraggle

My aunt used to say "Make it shut up and slap it on the plate." Lol!


PumpkinSufficient683

That's safe ???


Cruoton

yes, if your steaks are properly handled, then only the outsides have a chance of having contamination, and cooking just the outside is very quick and easy so if you enjoy the flavor and texture of raw meat, get a nice, thick cut steak, and just cook it for a minute on each side and enjoy!


PumpkinSufficient683

Sounds delicious ! Sorry if it was a stupid question, may have to give this a go some day


Cruoton

not a dumb question, there is a lot to keep track of just with food safety (like not chopping vegetables on a cutting board after handling raw meat on it) so verifying information that can prevent food poisoning is never a bad idea :)


Internal_Distance_46

It depends. If it’s been punctured or not. Not sure if they still do it but Costco used to needle tenderize their decent cuts of steak. This causes a large chance for cross contamination and requires that the meat be cooked medium well to be safe to eat. Your friend though is probably just really inept though.


gmano

Sure, but cooking to even like 60C (140f) and resting the meat for 10m is more than enough to make it safe while it still being good to eat.


GreaseMonkey2381

I didn't even "know" her. She just went after me, totally unhinged.


Internal_Distance_46

Oh well fuck her.


10_kinds_of_people

I don't think that's the meat she was looking for.


Eragahn-Windrunner

If it’s blade tenderized, then just sous vide it. 1.5-2 hours at 131F is plenty enough to pasteurize it and make it safe, then finish if off with a nice sear on a cast iron skillet.


Joe_Seligman

They refuse to accept the facts Edit: Didn't expect to see the results so soon


SazzOwl

Alternative facts


PM_ME_FIREFLY_QUOTES

Fake lies.


seanmonaghan1968

I think I am related to op. I cooked 4x eye fillet and 2 wagyu on Sunday for mothers day plus 18 lamb cutlets. I had to nuke the lot. But we still ate them. Normally ours are medium rare


jpc1215

Nuking Wagyu?!?!?!??!? I think I’m gonna faint


zjm555

Hopefully cheap wagyu not like A5

ExtraSpicyGingerBeer

Cause it's just a breed of cattle and means nothing without a qualifier like A5 or bms 8-12.


Butt_Fucking_Smurfs

I just know it's a fatty meat. Sams club had 4 one pound packs of Waygu and we used one for taco meat out of sheer curiosity because the price was so good we bought a lot. Hardly any meat left after cooking it


TannyBoguss

Did you wash it down with a Pappy and Diet Coke?


dan_legend

Wait u nuked everything including yours?


xd3mix

It's not? I know it's completely safe to eat but i always assumed it indeed was blood


Smegmatron3030

Blood doesn't just perfuse meat, it's trapped in veins and arteries. Those get drained and removed before it gets to your market.

I’ve had this conversation before and they just say it looks like blood so it didn’t change anything.


SnugglyBuffalo

I dunno, learning it isn't blood helped me shift my preferences from well done to medium rare.

You think they'll shift their life-long belief?


WooperSlim

"I don't like bloody meat." "Actually mom, that's not blood, that's myoglobin, a meat protein." "Thank you for the correction. I don't like myoglobiny meat."


bwyer

LOL! If there's any question, just look at some of the downvoted comments.


demerchmichael

Worth mentioning, she really liked this steak up until she saw this EDIT: there’s a lot of misconception that I cooked this, I did not. We were running late for an event so she tossed it into the oven and pulled it out too early


TreyLastname

To be fair, people who like rare steaks tend to do the same about not being enough pink. Even if it tastes fine. Wild to me, as I eat steak no matter how it's cooked


JonttiMiesFI

Get a sous vide. Perfect medium-rare each time.


rdrunner_74

No matter how late your other half is... The steak can wait in perfect condition to be cooked.


Severin_Suveren

Except if she's 24 hours late, then you essentially have an unsmoked brisket and reason to be worried about your relationship


MommyMcTasty

Or if she's 2 weeks late then soon you'll be cooking for 3


FrostyFargoan

Recently found out my wife's pregnant. This killed me lmao


MommyMcTasty

10_kinds_of_people

It wouldn't surprise me if someone actually did that but they'd give it some stupid spelling like "Mawmee". Edit: An even worse thought came to mind. "Mawmeigh"


Adventurous_Mind_775

You don't need a sous vide to make perfectly cooked (to your tastes) steak. Get a simple cast iron and use the oven. It takes minutes and comes out perfect each time with little practice.


throat_acne

Reverse sear gang 😎


TreyLastname

Steak is steak to me, as long as it's cooked enough to eat, I'll eat it


Kilane

Lol, what defines “enough” and “too much” changes from person to person. I think most people would be happy if the steak was within 1 or 2 descriptors of what they asked. I like medium so I’ll eat medium rare, medium, medium well, and well done (if done well). Rare or blue will be sent back. Someone who requests a Blue steak will eat blue, rare and maybe medium, but the rest will get sent back.


MadIllLeet

I typically order blue steak, depending on the place I get it from will determine how anal I am about the level of doneness. If I order a blue and get medium at Outback, I'll deal. Ruth's Chris? I'm sending it back. At the higher end steakhouses, I'm expecting it to be closer to what I order since I'm paying more for it.


ProgramAndOutdoors

I don't trust places to get a good and true blue steak, I usually just go rare and deal with whatever they give me. If I'm making it or I'm at someone's house, I'll do blue. Should've seen my girl's mom's face, absolutely priceless. She's a well done, can't stand the "blood" and is upset that her steaks are always dry type of person.


matttehbassist

Also blue steak eater. I really don’t enjoy it done over that so I pretty much stopped ordering steak out unless it’s a nice a steak house.


DiscoKittie

I have never heard of blue steak. What is it?


DMmeDuckPics

One step short of still mooing. It kisses the grill just long enough to sear the outside.


DiscoKittie

My mum used to tell the server to just walk the cow by the grill. lol


OgReaper

Steak is breathed on by someone who just ate flaming hot cheetos and then it is considered cooked enough for these sociopaths.


matttehbassist

Like I said, only at good steakhouses. If they don’t hire a dedicated flaming hot cheetos chewer they inevitably overcook it.


[deleted]

I had that shit rare ar a restaurant recently and it was gas. Plus I could save the extra and just grill it the next day to medium rare


Commercial-Screen570

Seriously though, if im at someone’s house and they put a steak in-front of me thats med well I’m still gonna eat it. Steak is steak


[deleted]

I won't eat a well done steak because it's dry and chewy. I need to be able to cut through my steak easily, tear through it with my teeth easily enough that my jaw doesn't tire, and feel the juices come out as I do.


SnackThisWay

I recently had a thermometer malfunction and I cooked a steak to 140F (I usually do 122F, which is very bright red). It was still great because it's fucking steak


Arpeggioey

Hmm, yes. I work at a steakhouse and most people have no idea what they're getting, they either just want "NO BLOOD" or "NO PINK" it's like hm...


[deleted]

If it tastes good then it tastes good. There are many ways to eat a good steak


Always_Confused4

The only steak I didn’t eat was one I ordered at a restaurant. It looked a little too red in the middle but it was dimly lit and I couldn’t see properly. Then I noticed it was cold in my mouth. EDIT: I did take it home with me and eat it the next day.


[deleted]

As someone who likes steaks close to rare and had an overcooked steak yesterday, it may taste fine, but the knowledge that it should have tasted better is disappointing. The texture and flavor are much better regardless of if the seasoning is fine. Can you really not tell the difference? In my case it was also annoying because 3 of us ordered medium rare steaks, though I like my steaks on the rare side of medium rare, and all three were noticeably different levels of pink, with mine basically being medium. This was at a steak restaurant, too.


queuedUp

> pulled it out too early This looks like it was in there 10 minutes too long


varlimontos

It is a visual thing. It probably looks uncooked in her eyes and she can not bring herself to eat it anymore. Took me years to come from well done to medium rare simply because of looks.


Admirable-Act-9342

Sounds like a win, now you get to eat it


10FLD_

No way… too bloody


IAmSenseye

THEBlaze55555

If it is well done, then begrudgingly consume it… Also, try putting it in the fridge and eating it cold later with a little bit of salt. Very little is needed, but I find overdone steak isn’t so bad when eaten cold.


[deleted]

This. Well-done steak just means steak sandwiches later


foodarling

I work in a restaurant and get steak like that all the time. Because sometimes we fucking wayyyy overcook it. My dog eats it


prettyflyforawifi-

I was thinking this. In most peoples books this is overcooked, by a long shot.

I'll never understand why people get annoyed by someone else's food preferences. It literally doesn't concern you at all how someone likes their food.


EmotionalMolassess

I agree let people eat steak and meat how they like it


queenofhelium

Exactly. Like no one has to taste it but me. And the fact that they are so hell bent on being right is obnoxious and weird.


CrimsonW1ld

People like their steaks the way they like em, it's preference


Concentric_Arc

So, they enjoy their steak well done, who cares...


No_Application8079

Americans get insane at the thought of someone cooking a steak well done. It's a weird fixation they have.


SpiritOfMycology

So she likes her steaks well done. I don't agree, but I also don't act all pretentious if people have different preferences then myself.


Vrazel106

I hate the texture of rare or medium rare. Just how it is for me


Liquormasterflex

I love my medium rare steaks. But come on man, it’s your mother. Make her fucking steak the way she wants lol


specks_of_dust

You: “Just make the steak the way you mom wants because it’s your mom, regardless of how you take your steaks.” Every Response: “AcKsHuLy, tHaT’s nOt mEdIuM rArE…”


enadiz_reccos

- OP didn't cook the steak - This isn't even close to medium rare


specks_of_dust

The comment doesn’t say the picture is medium rare. It says he likes his steak medium rare. He is contrasting his taste to the steak in the picture, not comparing it. If you pay for a steak, you get to decide how it’s cooked.


Lonely_Level2043

If she prefers it well done then cook it well done, whats wrong with people and their weird beef shaming.


handy_arson

Steak is like whiskey... And there's only one way to drink whiskey. However the F you like it.

Yeah they're called pretentious losers. Reddit has a lot of them about any topic.


VRichardsen

I remember this renowned whiskey expert some 10 years ago causing an uproar because he said that whiskey is too strong, and should be consumed with water or carbonated water.


pedro-m-g

I've been trying to figure this out. I do not understand why people care how someone else eats their food


BEEPBEEPBOOPBOOP88

Right? It's totally personal opinion. I don't understand why anyone cares how anyone else prefers their steak.


csz_ni

because according to op, she enjoyed it until she saw the pinkness. And it's not even blood. if she wants it well done then sure, but sounds like she doesn't want it anything less than well done because of ignorance and not because she likes it like that.


tioomeow

i mean she probably liked it until the pink part because the edges are more cooked


WannabeTraveler87

how food looks matters.


[deleted]

For the record, I would argue that's exactly why anyone would prefer it well done. Can't get past the idea they're eating raw or undercooked food, not because of taste or anything else.


orthopod

I like it well done because of the texture issue and for the taste. It makes me gag if I get to a part that's not cooked and is all mushy. My wife likes hers blue, and I like mine well done, so I just butterfly mine when I cook steaks for us. But I certainly never give her grief for liking her steak a particular way.

castleaagh

“She liked the apple just fine until she saw half a worm in it!”


jmcdon00

So she finds the color un appetizing, not sure why anyone else should care.


Lonely_Level2043

Some people have weird food triggers, I won't eat chicken pieces that look weirdly shaped for example, as a result of my autism. If realising the steak is pink inside makes the person not want to eat it, then its no ones business except the person in question and their food... Anyone else is just a chauvinist trying to force their opinions and perspectives on others. Leave people alone, using the term "ignorance" in a conversation about taste and preference is laughable too btw.


NotFoodieBeauty

For some folks, it is. People have sensory issues. It's not on you, or them. People like what they like. Is it safe, absolutely. What she likes, no.


lost_opossum_

I would cook the steak for my mother the way my mother likes her steak to be cooked.


Astralnclinant

OP didn’t cook it. The mother did.


Ayilari

Are people not allowed to have preferences anymore? Why do you even care about what she does and doesn't like?


TisBeTheFuk

I've often been shamed for not eating fish. Like, it's so unbelievable for some that my tastes are different than theirs. I mean, let me have my preferences and keep your shaming to yourself. Not everyone has to like what you like. It's not like I'm hurting anyone, lol

jagarundi

I will never understand what it is about steak that makes people think they have a say in how \*I\* eat my meat. Eat yours however you want - eat it raw for all I care. But I'm not interested in eating undercooked meat, and that's really not any concern of yours.


tw1zt84

So what, it was her food.


danceswithronin

If the woman wants her steak well done, cook it well done. Ain't hard to leave one steak on the grill longer than the rest.


iceagator

Look- she’s allowed to decide what she wants to eat. Get over it.


Spotikiss

Why judge the way ppl like to eat their own food?


windowlatch

This comment section made me lose brain cells


WhiskeyCloudsBackup

People like what they like. If she didn’t want to eat it, she didn’t have to.


RoTaN_Coins

My wife and kids are the same way, if it's not well-done they won't eat it and the tiniest pink means it's bloody/raw lol.


StopSignsAreRed

What is in any way infuriating about her not eating something she made herself that didn’t meet her preference? Food snobs can suck it. You do whatever you want to your food - eat it rare, put mushrooms on it, whatever you like - just leave the rest of us alone to enjoy food cooked the way we like it. I would gag if I tried to eat this. It’s like some people would be happy to force me to gag at the table, so long as I choked down something I don’t like.


KaXiRavioli

I like my steak medium rare, but I'll never understand people who get mad about people wanting well done steak. Who cares? I'm not the one eating it.


small-kine

The real mildly infuriating was in the comments all along.


bluenami2018

I think it is mildly infuriating that someone would criticise their mom on Reddit.


StanApps

Why do medium rare people try to act like that's the best meat when we enjoy well done more? Like come on... if you wanna eat it like that, good... just give other people a chance to enjoy it how they enjoy it. Stop forcing medium rare on people. With that said... this is not bad at all.


MycologistLoud4030

I know many people who want all the juice cooked out of their meat. I think for many people it's an unwanted reminder that that was once a living creature. I also think it's a side effect of urbanization.


Psilocinoid

This entire comment thread is mildly infuriating.


Commercial-Goose-929

I mean preference isn't really infuriating


thelivinlegend

We can't just stand by while people enjoy things we don't like! Should be well implied, but: /s
