That said, I prefer Med Rare while the wife likes Medium. Pretty easy to do on the grill. Set my target temp to 130 deg for Med Rare and about 140 deg for her medium (indirect heat). Then about a min or so per side on the Blackstone on high heat and the steak come out perfect.
that's good


my med rare is 125
not a huge difference

if I'm dining out and they hit 130 I'm happy

Generally rare is 125, med-rare is 135, but that's absolute finish temp. 

Depending on cooking method, pulling a steak off the grill right at 125 could finish closer to 130-135 due to carryover, but most steaks cooked that way will probably end up closer to 130. 

When I'm shooting for MR, I'll usually pull a steak off the grill at around 127, and then while it rests it'll come up the rest of the way. I sear first and then move it to the indirect side, so I don't need to worry about the searing step overcooking it.

Those people up there like to eat hockey pucks. For real. I've tried to order MR, how I like it, and it always come out MW.

Here is Europe, it's always rare. Like purple.
Yeah, and the problem is, most beef in Europe is crap.  Eating bad meat, uncooked, makes it even worse.

Yeah, I was doing the reverse sear for a while, but I've switched back lately.  Results come out pretty much as good and it's easier for me to manage temp.

Same thing I had in Florence was cooked well and seasoned well but the quality of beef was low, MUCH lower than any equivalent restaurant I've ever had in the States.

Their good beef is imported from South America.  The local stuff is low quality compared to even average stuff here in the US.

Starting to think you yahoos have no clue of the difference between good beef and bad.  

Bless your hearts though, that's probably a good thing. Low expectations. :)

Well duh.  Cattle aren't indigenous to North America, all of our stock was brought over from Europe.

Doesn't change the fact that in the intervening 500 years, the beef here has become superior to the beef over there.

one of the best steaks I've ever had was in Rome. They cooked it on a huge piece of stone that they took out of a seriously hot oven and put right in the middle of the table and then the steak right on top of that smoking hot stone.

Think all they used on it was sea salt, pepper, olive oil, rosemary, and little bit of butter. It was incredible.
