Centrist take: If you can't get a decent sear on a gas stove you need to learn how to cook.

Bro
As someone who eats steaks Blue Rare
What the fuck is this?
Cooked.
Looks boiled, lol
It looks sickeningly dry and I hate it. But it's definitely cooked. Like an overdone roast. An animal literally died to enable this atrocity.
I've seen wood that was more appetizing. also probably more tender.
Ruined
And I'm a vegan
What's the appeal? Meat is gross, but putting that aside why eat it as close to raw as you can get.. Always seems like the equivalent of I'll have my coffee black, like having any cream / sugar or in this case, cooking it, makes less of a statement.
If you already think meat is gross, how do you expect to understand why someone would like it prepared a specific way?
That being said, the more rare the meat the more flavor you can taste. If you cook steak too long all you can taste is the seasoning. Raw is too chewy for me, I like rare to medium rare but I'm sure blue rare has even more flavor.
Also, ordering coffee black is definitely not a statement 😂 I like my coffee black because sugar is poison and I'd rather consume it from pies and ice cream. Milk takes a lot of the coffee flavor away too. If I was drinking 7/11 coffee I would probably need sugar and milk to mask the terrible taste but when you use good coffee beans you should be able to taste it.
Cooked meat develops more flavor compounds at higher degrees of doneness
One might prefer the flavor of lesser done steak, but it’s inaccurate to say it has more flavor
Because red meat is more tender. But searing and cooking give it flavour. Besides health reasons for pork and chicken. Beef can easily be left rae completely in some situations like a steak tartare or seared for just a little 2-3 minutes to create flavour and a crust but leave the juiciness and tenderness there be leaving it more raw.
As someone that usually drinks black coffee, adding steamed milk for me is usually a texture thing when drinking an cappuccino also dilutes the coffee with something warmer and sweeter, just creates something different then there was in the first place. Exactly the same as I said with the steak tartare vs a smoked brisket or like some stewed meat.
