True, you want to sear the juices in. Unless you like eating shoe leather.

I have a friend who likes his steak well done. That's just criminal.

Well I guess I am just weird like that, once I went to a steak joint and ordered medium and they brought me the most raw, vile, blood riddled piece of meat I had ever tasted. It only takes one bad experience I guess.

Should have sent it back, any place that does steaks well shouldn't have a problem cooking it to your liking. Try medium-well sometime. It should only have a touch of pink.

I did send it back and I left, but I will have to try that out sometime.

Yeah actually it is but every cook thinks of it that way. There's actually no scientific evidence that it holds any juice in..it just creates probably the most universally adored flavor compounds in the world and does it fast so the meat can come of the heat sooner thereby keeping it more moist. Either way it is the right way to go. I say the same thing that Matty says so I don't look like a total snobby food geek. Great now I do.
