I thought that “well done” was done well, and was the best because I wrongly thought that pink steak had cooties. Now I know better and cook my own meat medium, and ribs instead.

No I never make that mistake.
Eating undercooked beef can have “cooties” like various species of tapeworms and harmful bacteria. Personally I like to eat my parasites well done. HA!

When it comes to possible cooties in meat, pork is the one to really worry about.
(For the record, I ask for my steak to be “medium well.”)

No, I never made that mistake because my father taught us about “rare” to “ well done” over the Aunday roast. My parents also taught me to not worry about beef, but to cook pork all the way through, and fowl to 165 degrees F to kill bacteria.

I hate to break it to you @RedDeerGuy1, but meat doesn’t have cooties, only kids have cooties.

When we first got together Rick used to ask for his steak “Well done.” Then dad turned over in his grave….

I have had Steak tartare in several restaurants including Montreal fifty years ago. Also in a restaurant in Palm Beach Florida in the mid 1980s.
Steak tartare is chopped meat that they chop at the table and make a dressing or raw sauce from capers and raw egg.

The only steak I ever ordered was a kangaroo steak. I ordered it medium, but it was still pretty tough.

I love pink as a colour and used to wear it often as a child. I like Pink coastal sand and stucco walls—and it only stands to reason that I would like pink steak as well.

What matters is the searing temperature the outside surface (the part that was cut) is cooked to the proper temperature,
