We've now learned that not only was Donald Trump's going out for a steak dinner without notifying the press immediately after his election a dire threat to the Republic, but
how he prefers to eat his steakis apparently a crisis as well.
If anyone is still wondering why people defend Trump, this is why. It's really impossible not to when the same press outlets that pompously lecture us on the dangers to freedom he supposedly represents then try to shoehorn a preference for well-done steak* into that narrative.
*I've been getting pretty serious about grill and BBQ over the last 10 years and while I don't make my steak well-done in the traditional sense, I've used a couple methods that create the appearance of well-done cooking without drying the steak out, such as planking (also fantastic with pork loin, lamb, trout, or salmon). Indirect cooking for 1 to 1.25 hours, depending on thickness after a very brief sear on either side also works nicely; for boneless beef ribs, go about twice as long but even farther from the heat. Both methods result in little or no red color, but otherwise similar to "medium" characteristics. Food sophisticates would probably take issue with these techniques
because they take too long for a restaurant, despite the fact that they're pretty easily mastered (just don't get distracted during the "sear" portion of the cooking, for the slow cook technique and let it go too long.)
I don't have any particular opinion on traditional well-done steak beyond to say that if someone eating their steak that way causes you agony when the person is a paying customer, you're a **** idiot and shouldn't be serving food.
