first of all, why do I have to tell the chef how to make the steak? "medium rare"? "well done"? those are words made up by wizards or something. second of all I don't like how they taste. they're super expensive and they just taste so boring. chicken goated steak boring. I'm in my early 20s so I'm getting used to some "acquired taste" things slowly like wine and coffee but steak is still so bland.

This isn’t used exclusively with steak nor is it any different than the words “saute” and “stir fried”

Rare steak is a meme, and I can prove it.

Anywhere you can get "steak" as an ingredient or topping, it is always well-done or medium-well steak. It is never ever rare steak that goes on a salad or in a burrito.

Nobody says that burgers have no flavor, but there are plenty of people that say well-done steak has no flavor. They are deluding themselves. A properly cooked burger is virtually the same as a scrambled-up well-done steak.

If someone says they like rare steak best, either they are being performative about it for perceived social approval, or they just want an excuse to eat raw blood. Or, as with so much else with American food preferences, they are consuming color and texture rather than flavor.

I will only take a rare steak eater seriously if they slow-cook their ground beef at 155° to make their burgers.
