What level of doneness would you say this steak is?

What level of doneness would you say this steak is?

My brother claims this is medium rare, I say it's medium.

I'd say medium rare.

Doesn't look very good in any case.

It's right on the border of med rare and med.

It's medium rare.

its fucking raw you plonker

jee whizz man do i really have to explain steak cooking basics to you? XD

Medium rare bordering on rare.

Are those apple slices?

Maybe. Or, you know, roasted red potato and herb, a traditional side to a steak.

They look like apple slices.

But they are not apple slices even if they appear to be apple slices.

are those apple slices?

I like good apple slices only.

are those apple slices?

Why are you eating apple slices with steak?

aw man steak n apples, a classic

I used to go to a local roadside diner that made the absolute best apple slices.

>apples slices
>definitely not red potatoes
>definitely not the best thing god created to pair with roasted/grilled meat

Leave, now. Unless you're trying to learn - then you should probably stay here for a long, long time.

Can't tell if you're too drunk to notice the trolling, or you're contributing to the trolling....

A steak a day keeps the doctor away?
Did I fuck that up? I don't know I'm not very healthy from eating too much fried apples

That one little vessel of fat and blood on the right pieces totally puts me off the whole plate t.b.h.

What temperature is it internally? Color is not a perfect indicator of doneness, temperature is.

Also why the fuck are you eating steak with pear slices

Those are probably potatoes mate.

>posts on Veeky Forums
>has never seen a red skin potato
>thinks pears are cherry red
Why am I not shocked to see this shit?

Those are pears, my homies.

how are you idiots thinking that's medium rare? medium rare is red in the middle. that's past medium on it's way to well done. if I got my steak like that at a restaurant I'd send it back.

that's because you're mentally i'll user

Why do you have apple slices beside your clumps of raw meat?

100% medium

You're 12 different kinds of retarded if you think that's approaching well done

>he can't see it's quite clearly red in the middle

medium rare

Brb
Gonna slice slice some apples

Its undercooked.

Is apple any good with steak? I may try this.

looks rare-med rare, even thought the top is well done

Medium rare. Shit sear though, get the pan hotter next time before putting the steak on.

Interesting choice to pair it with apples, OP. Recipe?

mmm OP
i want to make sweet love to that steak

Apples? Hmm, interesting. OP may be onto something.

Did you seriously cut some boiled apples for a side to your steak?
I'm LMAOing at your life

Looks more like med rare to me, though on the cusp of rare. Interesting pairing with apples though, it's typically a pork thing.

Looks closer to medium than medium rare to me.
Thumb test should settle it.

I would say that you have the full spectrum of well done to medium rare, the sign of a truly shit cook. Piss poor sear as well.

How did you get those two apple slices browned but keep the others raw?

Sorry tiny pic

are you blind or am I getting memed on? there's at least an 1/8th of an inch of brown from the outside and there's no red in sight.

I'd call that well done. Anything above that is burnt.

people like you are the worst

is red delicious a good choice for apple slices?

does it sear well?

this is just as retarded as that image of 6 steaks that are all raw and well done but labeled as everything in between

Med rare

>is red delicious a good choice
no

Closer to medium than medium rare. The apple slices are under done.

What kind of apples are best with steak?

Pretty good for four bucks

>Piss poor sear
i came to say this

its warm.

I tried this, what if I don't have red as fuck hands?
[spoiler]I'm white too[/spoiler]

Of the generic apples I'd say granny smith is the best. But once you get more interesting and unique like the kind you find in upstate NY you'll never want to go back

They're both rare.

While the left is more rare than the right, the right is still considered rare but with a heavy sear instead of a light one.

YOU'RE ALL FUCKING RETARDED

APPLES HAVE WAY TOO MUCH SUGAR TO RETAIN THEIR TEXTURE AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT SINCE IT BREAKS DOWN AND TURNS MUSHY

IF YOU ACTUALLY COOKED APPLE SLICES SIMILAR TO HOW THOSE POTATOES WERE COOKED YOU'D HAVE WEDGES THAT WERE MORE FLACCID THAN MY DICK AFTER WATCHING AN HOUR OF GAY PORN

THE STARCH IN POTATOES ALLOWS THEM TO MAINTAIN A FIRM SHAPE AND TEXTURE DESPITE BEING SAUTEED.

FUCK ALL OF YOU

You don't cook them through. You just brown the exterior.

learn the difference between caramelization and the maillard reaction

rare

>he doesn't starch his apples before cooking them

We cant actually tell unless we feel it OP... you dont just "look" at a steak to tell how cooked it is, you have to feel it.

What you are evaluating is the firmness of the muscle tissue, not the coloration of the skin.

Undercooked.

Does this work with apple slices too? I don't wanna end up with rare apples like OP

Is there red meat juice left on the plate from cutting it?

No.

Therefore it is overdone, in other words, medium or above.

It's actually rare.

Uhh.. ever heard of resting?

>this nigger savage doesn't rest his steaks

This

Cook your fucking meal you barbarian. No rawer than medium well is acceptable.

If a meat's juices aren't clear, it's undercooked.

If meat juices are clear then what good are they for dipping bread/fries in?

ITT: Fucking vegetarian wannabes arguing about what level of burnt offering they eat their meat at so they can pretend it wasn't an animal once.

ITT: Fucking animals arguing for what level of rawness they can get away with so they can pretend they tore it off the animal with their bare teeth.

I concur.

Who eats steak with apple slices you mongol?

Holy shit those potatoes look god awful.

that's because they're seared apples you dumbo

Definitely horridly undercooked taters.

>red
>potatoes
??? It's caramelized apples or something. White flesh, red skin

I hope you're shitposting, but there is obviously people on this fucking COOKING BOARD that genuinely believe this shit. Kill yourselves, all of you. Ignorant fucks.

You lost the plot not getting your pan nice and hot kid.

Apple slices look good though.

Can't tell, not there to give it the knuckle test.

Do you even cook?

>all those faggots that call "slices" what are obviously "wedges"
GET OUT

it just looks right

I consider that "true medium," but what would typically be called medium rare.

At a reputable steakhouse, this would probably be called medium, but the run of the mill restaurant will give you this steak as a medium rare.

It's also possible it's somewhere in between, I reckon

>He thinks they're potatoes

/thread

Apples go great with a hot sausage, but I havent tried with a steak, thanks OP!

It's apples you dingus

enjoy your flavourless leather you pansy ass motherfucker

what oil do you use to sear apple wedges, Veeky Forums?

That looks medium rare to me, what did you season those apples with?

Did you cook that in the microwave?

>apples with steak

Hmmmmmm......

What type of response was that, fagatron? I know the difference. That has nothing to do with it.

>apples
They're potato wedges you fucking idiot

Red waxy potatoes.

Are you simple?
