When mom bitches about how her meat is dry or lacks flavor, my father, sister and I all remind her that she's the one that chose to have all it's natural sauce cooked out of it.

Growing up my dad always insisted on having EVERY meat well done. Even steaks
He had had food poisoning one too many times in his life, and was seriously paranoid it would happen again.

About the time I was in high school, I took over grilling duty, and made the steaks medium. He'd throw his back on, but the rest of us had yummy juicy steaks.

Now (more than a decade later...) I like them more medium-rare. Dad's loosened up, and will happily eat a steak that's pink in the middle - but never red.

I have to admit, though, I always liked the flavor of ketchup and steak. The salty meaty flavor of the meat and the sweet tangy ketchup all mixed together? Yum. But, I'll admit that a good steak does not NEED it. I just like it. A-1, though I don't like. And I don't see why it's acceptable (in some people's eyes) to use A-1 and not ketchup. Sauce is sauce.

I realize it's not going to make me popular to say this, but I genuinely do not like the taste of steak. It just tastes like blood to me, and the less cooked it is, the worse it is. So well-done-with-ketchup is the only way I can choke it down.

Judge me if you want. But I'm not going to eat something cooked in a way that tastes horrible to me just to make other people happy.

It's all in your head... What's wrong with something tasting a bit like blood? Hello! It's primal!! Rawr...


Cheers,

Matt-

True story: With beef (and prolly all red meats, including lamb and venison), unless the meat is rotting, bacteria only grows on the cut surfaces of the meat. So so long as a steak is nicely seared on all sides you're fine.

GROUND meat, though, of course, is a completely different story. Practically the entire thing is cut surface area. That's why hamburger meat is most often tied to e.coli outbreaks.
