I have to drive 45 minutes to find a decent steak restaurant that's not a chain. The good one closed up during Covid.

I usually have the opposite experience at the Texas Roadhouse I go to. I order

It's so weird. They should just use a meat thermometer. That's what I do at home. Perfect temperature every time.

I'd rather it be undercooked. You can fix that

true, but I'm not one to send back food, so I usually just end up eating it or

That's intentional and many restaurants do it. They can cook it more.

I bet also there is a large portion of people who see actual medium rare and think it’s rare

That medium rare in the image looks like medium

It’s hard to classify all restaurants in a chain based on the cook staff at one particular restaurant.

At Texas Roadhouse? In my experience, the lower cost a steak is, the more overcooked it is likely to be, but it stays

I don’t know. My wife is one that orders medium well and it usually comes to her medium rare. Always sends it back.

Also seems the busier it is, the more rushed they are to get the steak off the grill so maybe it comes out undercooked.

You’re saying “all” a lot. But yes, most chains do try to make things consistent as far as possible, and I’ve certainly

Send it back. I have never had a bad steak there.

Chester Copperpot

Got it as a pickup order. Or else I definitely would have sent it back.

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

That sucks. Call them and tell them, I bet they will refund it.

Chester Copperpot

Jun 24, 12:27pm

Wait, you are complaining about a pick-up order? The thing probably cooked another 10 deg before you opened the box.

Any steak will cook while it rests. If you're doing it right you take the steak off when it's about 10 degrees below

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

Jun 24, 12:42pm

So you know this, and you are still complaining about a TO-GO steak?

kccougar

Jun 24, 1:02pm

Sure. A steak should rest. It's part of the cooking process. If it doesn't rest it will be tough. It should rest whether

Oh man, just saw the to-go part. It keeps getting more and more sad.

You picked up a steak?

And then complained about how it was cooked.

Absolutely. They cooked shoe leather with zero pink. I was there within 4 minutes of it being cooked. And home in 4

you timed yourself? Did you use a stopwatch?

BYUheaven

Jun 24, 1:23pm

No. Just my phone's clock. I was curious as the restaurant is very close to where I live. So I wanted to see how long it

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

Jun 24, 1:29pm

Nah, the cook was just recording a Tik Tok and got distracted

You’re problem is Texas Roadhouse and thinking you’ll get a good steak
