Why does liking it cooked make me a monster?
If I'm cooking it myself I'm not as picky...but at a restaurant, you have to say well done or you're likely to get it bloody.

Medium rare for good quality meat but I also like cheap cuts slow cooked over several hours so I'm assuming that would classify as well done.

Medium rare, though depending on stuff medium is ok and rare is ok, although rare is more ok than medium.

I have varied from black and blue to medium rare. Black and blue is when you take a cold steak and very hot griddle (or in my case cast iron pan). You get a real good sear on each side, I would say a minute at the most and you are done.

I bought a sous vide machine about a year ago and it makes fantastic steak. It is cooking in a water bath. You select the final temperature of your meat, season your meat, and put it in a plastic bag that you either vacuum seal or use water to push the air out, do not put the opening of the bag underwater. Then you let it sit for an hour or two depending upon thickness. What is nice about this is that you can go longer without too much of a negative effect. In fact some people like to sous vide their meat much longer since it becomes more tender.

When you are done take the bag out of the water. Open it, save the juices if making a sauce. And then it is almost like my black and blue steak, a quick sear, except that I will use bit of butter.

Spank your mamma that is a good steak!

I also used my sous vide to make "prime rib". Technically a rib roast since I use USDA Choice beef,, but then that is what you get at restaurants too. It was done exactly the way that I wanted and better than anything I have ever had in a steak house.

It's not that it makes you a monster, it's just...
