Smoke-Roasted New York Striploin Roast
Canadian John:
On the topic of doneness - We had guests over for a steak dinner. I asked how they would like their steaks done just in case someone wanted theirs blue. I was appalled to hear well done. I just had to ask
again to make sure there wasn't some sort of misunderstanding and what well done was. So I asked again, are you sure, this is a ---- steak. Sure enough, well done was what they wanted. To add to my misery,
they later asked for catchup... Heaven help us. This wasn't a hamburger or some lesser cut of meat..Guess I am simply narrow minded.

I must quote one of Bentley's favorite lines from "Escape from New Yor City" --- "Their savages Mr. President, just savages!"
Bentley:
I feel your pain CJ, I think more so on the ketchup then the well done. But I have to turn the table and say would I want someone asking me how I want my steak cooked, I say med rare and be served a well done piece of meat. Like you, i would just prefer to serve that person meatloaf. They would like it better then the steak probably?

No doubt needed the catsup to help give it some flavor and moisture so they could eat it.
I have slowly taught my GF that a steak and even pork chops are better if not cooked to death. I made strip steaks the other night took hers off around 140, the thicker part still had a pinkish center. She ate it an enjoyed it as much as she can, not a steak person. A while back i made one the way she wanted and I had her taste mine and I asked her how it was different. She said it is juicier and more tender than mine is. So now I cookk hers o the 138 to 142 area.
