One Mic History: Why Black folks LOVE a well done steak

[OneManGang]

Y’all know why you don’t have to overcook steak cuts right?

Bacteria can’t grow in the tight muscle fiber of cows, only on the exposed surface. That’s why you’re able to just cook the outside if you want

This is why ground meat needs to be cooked. The surface area exposed to bacteria increases exponentially

Only very high quality steak can be prepared medium well or medium or rare. Other than that season it and cook it like you mean it.

I tried medium rare and I just don't like it. It's either Well Done or Medium Well.

Its medium or medium well for me, medium rare is way too chewy. Cant go back to well done unless its a thin cut

I'm okay with Medium, but the shyt that gets me is how people eat prime rib. I literally can't look at it

So many people will eat this and turn around and look down on folks who actually like their food cooked

I ate well done for years, tried medium and medium well and haven’t looked back since, much more tender and flavorful. I can’t eat medium rare though, I feel queasy after eating it.

Same here, grew up on having my steaks well done just from following my family and not knowing much about eating steak like that anyway. Around a few years ago started going with medium and medium well, and I'm never going back, can't do it. Can't be still chewing my steak while everyone at the table finished and you can barely taste it like that anyway.

They don’t gaf. They still think the red is blood, and double down when you correct them

That’s a damn good job you did finding something you can’t look at you doing a damn fine job

Thread making me crave a medium rare steak now

I order my steak medium rare, but would literally eat ANY kinda cooked steak (especially if it's free).

I've never tried blue rare, but I'd be willing to die

Grew up with well done and it wasn't until I was messing with this white girl in my early 20s I had a medium steak her step father fixed. Needless to say that I haven't had well done since lol
