Medium rare! I'll say no more.

1. Looks good, but is borderline rare at bottom ... I like it a tiny bit more done than that

Also tenderloin filet is kinda overrated.

My faves are rib-eye, then NY/Strip, then bbq'd tri-tip roast, Santa Maria style.

But now I want some steak.

2. It's perfect for me. I'll take a filet every time! 😋

3. Don't get me wrong, you put what's in the pic in front of me I'd eat it in a heartbeat :)

But it is a bit unevenly cooked, where the bottom half is less done ... It'd be PERFECT to me if the bottom half mirrored the top half basically.

And filets are still amazing, but they are just kinda missing a certain smell/flavor I associate with 'steak', it's one you get with ribeye and strip steak that filet doesn't have.

Of course a nice Porterhouse/T-Bone gives you the best of both worlds!

4. Looks like it was walked through a warm room

DH likes it that way. Had the pleasure of a truly delicious and perfectly prepared well-done filet at Firebirds recently, it can be done.

6. Call the vet!! Maybe we can still save it!!

Srsly, that IS mouth-watering!

I have a friend who says he likes to have the cow run close enough to the grill to scare it, then cut off a slab.......

10. My brother in law says my sister likes "clubbed" steak.

Run a candle under it and we are good to go

That filet looks pretty perfect to me! Damn I would love a good steak right about now

11. OTOH, my husband's entire family are "it has to be sincerely dead"

steak eaters. I have to put his on the grill at least 15 minutes then turn it before I even start mine. Even with all of that, sometimes he will put it in the microwave. There shall be no pink in his beef.

7. I love "this steak is too rare" genre of jokes...

... My friends mother once said, "With a little encouragement this will be back in the pasture in no time."

There are so many more... Like the ones above.

But, that OP steak looks perfect to me.
