rare for me too... @summaz knows the score. I will give up to medium rare for those who want to expand their culinary discoveries though, gotta start somewhere.
I grew up in a household where all meat was extra well done. In a restaurant my dad would always send it back to be cooked until it was cremated. It took me several years after leaving home to get used to the idea that steak was supposed to be juicy and red in the middle rather than black. Now I'm most medium rare but will go down to rare in a good quality steak restaurant but wouldn't trust a pub kitchen.
