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
The texture and flavour of steak changes significantly with how it’s cooked, and the size, cut, and biology of steak makes it possible and safe to cook it different degrees. Chicken, fish and so on can be positively dangerous if undercooked.
Many burger places do give you a choice of doneness. With things like thin slices in soup it’s more or less impossible to vary how you cook it.
