    From a restaurant the answer is rare, because 9 times out of 10 they’ll overcook it, and your steak will come out medium rare

    Its delicious medium rare. It cooks a little more when removed from the heat. Anything medium or further is going to toughen up.

    Every time I order a steak it a restaurant I’m disappointed. I would rather buy a good ribeye and grill it at home. With my wife’s s salad, a toasted roll and maybe some air fried potatoes, it’s great.

    The steaks are medium rare, probably a little more on the rare side of medium.

    Mostly medium rare. Hot stone/hibachi is fine rare. Fattier cuts I tend to prefer closer to medium. Brisket I cook to 203F internal. Last one took 23h in 220f smoke, then another 19h in 225f oven. No wrap. I love the bark.
