Is this steak Medium-Well to you?

[Middleman]

I wont get into the whole story but I had a really bad overall experience at a local restaurant tonight.

That was supposed to be medium well....to quote "medium well, barely pink" and it was supposed to be jasmine rice and corn not french fries and steamed string beans.

Anyhow am I crazy or is that medium or even medium rare meat?

It looks rare to me, just the way I like it.

If I pay to have a steak cooked I want it cooked the way I ordered, that's medium rare

I would say the photo is medium rare as medium well would show pink in the middle with light juices.

Ya' have to remember, it's "teriyaki steak". Definitely been marinated awhile.

But then, i'm a chef. Marinating steak in my opinion is blasphemous.......Tri- tip, London broil, Skirt, ok......But steak?.....A good steak should always stand on its own. Maybe a killer demi sauce to "accompany it".....nothing more.

Just my honest professional opinion BTW.

I have a friend who tons A-1 on everything, including a good steak. I told him "Why don't you just save some money and eat a damn hamburger? You'll never know the difference. With all that sauce you have no ideal waht a steak actually tastes like".

A good steak doesn't need anything on it.

Exactly.
