Man sear it 4 minutes each side on medium heat and it’s well done and juicy

My steaks leaking juice when they’re done

Y’all make well done sound dry/burnt my shyt never like that
If you are cooking it for that long that is not well done, it is around medium rare. Also if your steaks are leaking like that then you are not letting them rest, or at least for long enough.

Eat your steak how ever you want
The fact the amount of time you cook your steak has become some kind of barometer is weird as fukk.

That being said this narrative that well done steak automatically means the meal will be trash needs to end
Honestly some of the best steaks I've had have been well done. Have mofos ever heard of Suya? Black people perfected cooking beef well done while preserving the flavor and tenderness of the meat. Denying that good well steak even exists is white washing and a way to undermine a part of black cuisine

when you don't know better :wow:

grew up a well done, A1 dousing nikka.

Then I saw the light :blessed:

I can't stand the taste of A1. I have some at the crib, but that is ONLY for when I happen to have a savage over and they wanna use it.

I been doing medium rare for years. I made my moms a medium rare tomahawk at her crib on the grill last month for her birthday and she was like :lawd:

Letting it rest makes it hard and dry

............ WHAT THE fukk? If you cut the goddamn meat and it starts to leak, what in the hell do you think happens if you let the juices sit in the meat to be reabsorbed? Are you letting the steaks rest for a hour or something?

Well done steak ain't it, breh. Thin strips are ok but not New York Strips, Ribeyes, T-Bone, and Porterhouse
