I’m always confused as to why it is only steak where the restaurant asks how you want it cooked. I mean, when I order chicken, fish, pork, and other types of meats, the waiter doesn’t ask me how I want well-done I want it cooked, but for some reason they do that for steak? Even other forms of beef products don’t get this kind of treatment. Nobody asks how well I want a hamburger cooked, or the beef slices in beef noodle soup. So why is steak special in the regard?
In: Biology
Chicken carries more pathogens inside the meat that are harmful to you, under cooked pork has less, and beef is considered the safest. Particularly steak because any pathogens that land in the meat are destroyed when the steak is seared .
Also the temp you cook a steak to changes the flavor and tenderness drastically in a good cut of beef. There’s a reason chef’s recommend you get a quality steak medium rare!
