It's a food that most people love.
When my older brother lived in Texas for 6 months, it forever changed his view on steak. When he ordered his usual doneness (medium), it came out bleeding (only a little bit, but still). He's ordered medium-well ever since. Texas is also where he was exposed to blue steak (basically, you take a raw steak, put it next to some heat source for a couple minutes, flip and you're done). That is a way I could never eat my steaks.
Personally, I like my steak on the medium end of the spectrum, perhaps with leanings towards medium-well. I like having a little bit of pink inside my steak, enough to keep it tender, though not too much that it's still bleeding.
There are also different methods to prepare steak. There's the classic barbecue/grill. There's Swiss steak (my mom made a killer Swiss steak...you didn't need a knife to cut it, it was so tender!). There's chicken-fried steak (a recipe that I love using from time to time). Then, there are different sauces... HP, A1, Frank's Red Hot, Worcestershire and red wine sauce.
From the basic doneness to the more advanced methods of preparation, steak is truly an adventure waiting to happen.
How do YOU like your steak??

I like my steak WELL DONE.
I like my steak made of tofu.
I wouldn't know. I've never tried steak.
-Should only EVER be Medium Rare. :) (Well.. for me)
Between medium and medium well for me. My bf likes it rare though. >_<;
It can still be mooing for all I care. lol
Medium well. ^^ I hardly ever eat steak unless my dad grills it, he's a Texas master! lol
bloody rare.
I want my steak to still "moo" when i poke into it.
I rec'd this in the hopes that more people will read this and stop ordering steaks "medium" when they really meant "medium rare" and then yell at the poor server/waiter/cook. It's just cruel!
That said, I love mine medium rare. If you go to a 5-star type of steak house and get a well done steak, you're basically insulting the chef. You can't taste the steak you just paid $70 for! It's so sad :(
I like mine medium with a little bit of juice. Some places I've been too only offer medium rare or medium well. If that's the case I go for Medium well.
I completely agree with @MochaSprinkle@xanga . Getting a steak well done is a sin. I'm a vegetarian, and even I know this.
Medium please!
rare to medium-rare is the only way to have steak.
