At home when I process the beef, I like medium. As for eating out, I’ve worked in many a kitchen and have observed various food handling methods. From the beef sitting out for an hour while someone weighs and forms the patty, to just plain sitting out during a rush. Start adding up these ‘out’ of the cooler times and ya start wondering… So dining out, it’s always well done… As for a steak where it’s a clean cut chunk of cow, I’ll always order medium rare…
