6 Things You Should Never Say When Ordering a Steak
Well-done steaks lose most of their moisture. If you want a juicy steak, opt for medium-rare or medium.
"Can You Cook It Well-Done but Still Keep It Juicy?"
Asking for steak sauce implies that the meat isn’t good enough on its own. A great steak should be flavorful without extra condiments.
"Do You Have A1 Sauce?"
Butterflying a steak (cutting it thinner for faster cooking) ruins the texture and flavor. If you want a thinner cut, choose a different steak.
"Can You Butterfly It?"
Filet mignon is tender but not the most flavorful. Ribeye or New York strip offer more taste due to their marbling.
"Is Your Filet Mignon the Most Flavorful Cut?"
Steak doesn’t have blood—it’s myoglobin, a protein. Rare steak will always have some red juices.
"Can You Make It Rare but Without Any Blood?"
A blue steak is seared on the outside but nearly raw inside. Asking for it hot defeats the purpose of ordering it blue.
"I Want It Blue, But Can You Make Sure It's Hot in the Middle?"
Ordering a steak the right way shows respect for the chef and the meat itself. Stick to simple requests and trust the cooking process for the best steakhouse experience! 🥩🔥
