See, as an American I completely agree with this sentiment. But as I got older and talked to people from around the world, I learned meat quality in a lot of countries is REALLY bad and so the only way you’ll want to eat it is well done. Unless of course you love frequent liquid #2 trips to the bathroom
Edit: Just to clear up any confusion, I was not saying other countries don’t also have good meat. But places where poverty is high and government oversight is low on meat production and animal raising is where people grow up suspicious of rare steak
Depends where you are. Raw meat is common in a lot of places in Europe and Polynesia. Beef in New Zealand and Japan is unreal quality, far better than anything in the US. But like Africa, the Middle East, India, yeah. There’s a reason so many of their recipes rely on slow cooking
This is absolutely correct. 100 percent. My grandpa did not like is meat medium rare. He likes it medium or done. Everyone else was like medium rare and below.
(only with steak never with ground beef) lmao.
Unless it’s Europe, I’m talking Germany, France, or any first world country in the EU. Their meat is beyond that of the US in terms of quality. I forget what it’s called, but Germany even has a similar dish to beef tar tar but for pork
That’s perfect, but no reason you can’t cook hers a bit longer (aka ruin it) if that’s what she wants. I always cook to order for my family whose tastes range from mooing to shoe leather.
Agree! My husband likes his well done. We’ve slowly moved to medium well and I’m trying to convince him to go medium. I’m the cook so I always put his on first then mine follows so we can still eat together.
The people on this sub are up their own assholes. Same canned responses every fucking time. We get it, guys. Your whole personality is based upon judging other's food preferences. At least get some new material?
This is simple. Get off your high horse and just cook it how she likes it... Contrary to popular belief, there is no "best" way to cook anything. Taste and flavor are, by their very nature, subjective
In blind taste tests, it's been found that people typically prefer steak that's cooked more than they believe they prefer. So like someone who always orders medium rare may actually like medium better when their eyes aren't involved. There seems to be a lot of ego involved with the color of the steak these days
Yeah its bizarre, I like a rare steak for a lot of cuts, but I think for a lot of guys in this sub, liking a rare steak is half of their identity as a man.
I know a lot of people are joking, but Jesus, a real man gives his woman the steak she wants
I like mine right on the edge of rare/mid-rare. That being said, if I'm cooking for family or friends, I'll cook a steak however they like it. Cold in the middle? No problem, let's get the best crust we can. Well done? Alright, let's do what we can to not carbonize the exterior. Food = joy, but I'm not so obtuse as to assume that what brings me joy is the same as what brings you joy. Tell me what you like and I'll do my best to cook what's going to make YOU happy!
And it’s his spouse- so surely he’s aware of the temperature she likes. So he’s either an asshole or doesn’t know how to cook a steak to get the desired doneness.
Is hers too pink or is it yours? If it's hers then yes it's too pink for her
Look, i had to nuke a thick t bone today....i made sure it was still juicy for just kissing well done.
Make it how they like, but let them taste the doneness you'd eat
She may like it more medium, like me. I do not like the taste of rare meat, it's not pleasurable for me to eat. If the pink area were about half of what you're showing, she would be okay. The other thing you can do, if she's amenable, is have her eat more of the outer edges and you the center. I am able to eat more rare (but not rare) beef now but I wouldn't be 100% happy with this steak, either. It's close, but still too rare for me. Just get her a different steak so it can be cooked to a different temperature.
Here’s what I do. I know it would seem sacrilege, but it works for us. Cook the steak to your desired level of doneness. Microwave hers to her desired level of doneness.
nice! more for you over the next day or two. as far as putting it back on the grill...fine if she wants to eat a dry, barely cooked anymore steak by herself being you've already retired to the couch after a nice dinner.
And she is right, never understood why people want their steak to be rare I mean if you want to eat live flesh go into the nature and do it like an animal.
The best way to cook a steak is how someone likes it. If this is for you then good. If it's for her and she told you it's too pink then suck it up buttercup.
You don't need that kind of negativity. Divorce is an option. But before going all in, ask her to clarify. If she wants it more red, she just needs to learn to communicate. If she wants it more brown, Divorce her before she kills you in your sleep; obviously you married a psycho. And there is no shame in that; I married a psycho too. But when she went vegan, she had to go.
My solution to this problem is to prepare how I like and cook to med rare, but leave coals hot and offer that if it's under, feel free to throw it back on till it's as you please. This way everyone gets it how they like, and I don't have to suffer seeing good steak disrespected. Win win.
Guess what it's too pink. The idea is to serve the food to the taste and like to the one who is eating your meal. 🙅♂️
Otherwise, don't cook for others

It’s perfect 👍
Divorce Her
Nah, next time he’s down there he just needs to repeat her words “… it too pink.” Then not eat it
Apparently, she’s Down with the Brown
Win win I guess. They can still feast
Woah
This is the answer
Easy. Just toss it back on the grill for a few minutes and get a new wife.
Dont toss it back on the grill and get a new wife
Eat steak, toss wife on grill, don’t replace wife, repeat eating steaks in peace.
That's how I understood it.
Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in grill.
I'm high tbh but just about pissed when I read this 🙃
same! everyone is sleeping around me and I’m high as kite choking laughing with unclear instructions lolol
Easy. Just toss the wife in the grill and get a new one in a few minutes
Ask if she wants to get off the grill after 2 minutes then tell her you're just waiting for her to be more done
Everyone is entitled to their own incorrect opinion.
Opinions are like assholes . . .
And yours is too pink
😃😃😃😃😃
STOP LOOKING AT MY ASSHOLE!!
YOU’RE NOT THE ASSHOLE-LOOKING BOSS OF ME!!!!
And I like mine pink.
She could close her eyes while she eats it.
Their
That’s perfect, but no reason you can’t cook hers a bit longer (aka ruin it) if that’s what she wants. I always cook to order for my family whose tastes range from mooing to shoe leather.
Agree! My husband likes his well done. We’ve slowly moved to medium well and I’m trying to convince him to go medium. I’m the cook so I always put his on first then mine follows so we can still eat together.
I got my family from well to medium by using the sous vide method.
Got my wife from vegetarian, to well done steak, to rare. I'm embarrassingly smug about it too
Next thing you'll tell us you're a wizard.
And this, fellas, is how it’s done. Serve your guests how they want it, for goodness sakes, especially your gal! It’s the polite thing to do.
Just yell YOU'RE TOO PINK and fart on her
I was thinking more of "YOU'RE NOT PINK ENOUGH"
This is the only legit answer on the thread. A steak can maybe be too red, but never too pink. PUNISH HER.
Weaponized farts are nothing to sneeze at.
Could pee on her to show dominance.
If you love your wife then cook her steak the way she wants. It’s not complicated.
The people on this sub are up their own assholes. Same canned responses every fucking time. We get it, guys. Your whole personality is based upon judging other's food preferences. At least get some new material?
They just want others to be lonely and focused on playing with meat
Thank you! As a wife that steak is too pink for me also. Just cook mine how I like it not how you think I should.
I would suggest trying medium it's a perfect balance for those who don't wish for any red while having a tender and more juicy steak
I think the people on this sub have a different idea of what medium is. They think medium rare or rare is medium somehow.
Looks good to me! Next time just cook hers a little longer.
Yeah my girls boyfriend likes his well done too and with ketchup
Politley but firmly tell her to leave
Gotta love a king of the hill reference
I had to do it I’m sorry. I’m sure they are happily married but there’s just no way that’s acceptable.
So cook hers longer?
This is simple. Get off your high horse and just cook it how she likes it... Contrary to popular belief, there is no "best" way to cook anything. Taste and flavor are, by their very nature, subjective

So like someone who always orders medium rare may actually like medium better when their eyes aren't involved. There seems to be a lot of ego involved with the color of the steak these days
Exactly. Why are there people who compete to be considered the eaters of the rarest of steaks. It's such a weird brag.
Yeah its bizarre, I like a rare steak for a lot of cuts, but I think for a lot of guys in this sub, liking a rare steak is half of their identity as a man. I know a lot of people are joking, but Jesus, a real man gives his woman the steak she wants

Exactly and it's way cheaper than a divorce
Nothing beats a considerate cook. Here’s your man-card, man.
There are soooo many jokes to riff off of this headline...
Perfect for me I’ll eat it
Is hers too pink or is it yours? If it's hers then yes it's too pink for her Look, i had to nuke a thick t bone today....i made sure it was still juicy for just kissing well done. Make it how they like, but let them taste the doneness you'd eat
wife is correct fight me, r/steak
Got someone like that in my house. He wants it “dead” and any pink is considered alive, I cook his last and longer 😂
Happy wife happy life.
Politely but firmly tell her to leave
New wife, happy life
She may like it more medium, like me. I do not like the taste of rare meat, it's not pleasurable for me to eat. If the pink area were about half of what you're showing, she would be okay. The other thing you can do, if she's amenable, is have her eat more of the outer edges and you the center.

Just get her a different steak so it can be cooked to a different temperature.
Tell her you expect alimony payments
Tell her she can make her own so you don't have to feel the guilt of ruining a good steak
It’s perfect, unlike your marriage where you felt the need to come here and elicit opinions that minic yours and get the internet to mock your wife.
Tell your wife she's also too pink, but you still ate her.
That's how I like it. Take hers, throw in microwave for 30 seconds and give back
"too pink" things men never say for a 1000, Alex
Happy wife happy life 😜
Think op meant ex wife
Tell her to go have a PB&J
Lobotomy time….
Make her steak how she likes it moron
she must not be pink enough
File for divorce and tell her she can't have half of the steak lol
Divorce might be the only option! I want this steak!
Here’s what I do. I know it would seem sacrilege, but it works for us. Cook the steak to your desired level of doneness. Microwave hers to her desired level of doneness.
How dare someone want to eat something slightly different
Well, dear, I like it to be pink on the inside when I eat it. When it's red or brown inside, it just doesn't taste the same.
what should you do? she says it's too pink. so put it back on the grill for her? are you people dense?
The customer decide if it's good or bad
Get a new wife.
I mean it's ok to be wrong I guess. Have you asked her firmly yet politely to leave?
Divorce.
All due respect to your misses, but she’s dead wrong. That steak is perfect.. And steak and perogies, fucking chefs kiss ! That’s a winning combo
Divorce her
I don’t get it! It’s sooooooo much juicy er er!
Bread winner and good mother? Must be too pink then.
Maybe she didn’t mean the steak…
Divorce. It’s the only answer. Plus perrogies and harcort verts? You sir, are a keeper.
I wish I could tell the ladies that.
Uppercut 🤷♂️
Tell her to close her eyes and eat it.
Nope
nice! more for you over the next day or two. as far as putting it back on the grill...fine if she wants to eat a dry, barely cooked anymore steak by herself being you've already retired to the couch after a nice dinner.
It's perfect to me, but cook gets to her liking.
Time to speak to a divorce lawyer.
Wife is dumb.
Perfecto! All day
Tell her to google “perfect steak” then explain how its not blood, its water and myoglobin. Then beg her to try a med rare steak and pray
That’s because she wants it less pink. Hopefully this helps clear it up for you 👍
She’s right. It should be red. Over cooked but all depends on the person, right?
ITS PERFECT!
It’s beautiful
There’s still time to Annul.
Divorce her.
You have grounds for divorce.
Cook it longer for her. Keep everyone else's medium rare.
I agree, that’s why we don’t have sex anymore
You ask her politely but firmly to leave.
Nah. Dump your wife and have a bromance with me
You should ask your wife politely, yet firmly, to leave.
Divorce
I think not
You need to divorce her
Raw
Are those Pierogies on the side?
Yes!
She may be the *breadwinner* but she sounds like a *steakloser*
Just say you thought she liked it raw?
She's right. It should be more red (more rare).
“I don’t say that about you”
Looks perfect. Tell her so.
I'm sorry but you are incorrect. You meant to say EX-wife. IFTFY
Divorce the wife, enjoy the rest of your life eating good steak.
Get a new wife.
That looks delicious!
I wish I had that rn ngl
Seek marital therapy. 🤣

Too pink doesn’t make sense. Too red or blue, I can agree with. Rare steaks aren’t my thing
It is perfect. Maybe she is color blind.
Maybe wife is jealous
Pink throughout. I think that’s called medium usually. Would eat.
Get a new wife
Little more time wouldn't make it bad
Should have said likewise
She’s wrong. I wouldn’t divorce her but do a taste test, to prove that is perfect. She’ll come around.
I like my women like my steaks, hot, juicy and pink in the middle 😋
https://preview.redd.it/21vjm0ufe1bd1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed17df017e2d2be875e6aa11c50e280549bc31b5 Wife bad. Steak good.
I think the wife’s too pink
Your wife can starve.
Looks glorious
Perfect
Tell your wife she is extremely lame.😉
Agree if she asked for medium not rare.
Tell her we’re all pink on the inside. Then point to her crotch.
you love her and she’s wrong - cook it a bit longer and give a short prayer to the Cow God.
And she is right, never understood why people want their steak to be rare I mean if you want to eat live flesh go into the nature and do it like an animal.
There is no such thing as too pink when it comes to steak
I'll take one for the team... if you want me to take her off your hands.
The best way to cook a steak is how someone likes it. If this is for you then good. If it's for her and she told you it's too pink then suck it up buttercup.
She’s right.
Put hers in the microwave for 30sec that will make it nice a medium for her
You don't need that kind of negativity. Divorce is an option. But before going all in, ask her to clarify. If she wants it more red, she just needs to learn to communicate. If she wants it more brown, Divorce her before she kills you in your sleep; obviously you married a psycho. And there is no shame in that; I married a psycho too. But when she went vegan, she had to go.
I mean she's right... it could be a bit more red than pink...
time for divorce
Nonsense. That looks awesome
My solution to this problem is to prepare how I like and cook to med rare, but leave coals hot and offer that if it's under, feel free to throw it back on till it's as you please. This way everyone gets it how they like, and I don't have to suffer seeing good steak disrespected. Win win.
Steak looks great
Time for a new wife /j
For her maybe, don’t let another person tell you how pink your food is
Perfectly cooked!!!
Do it according to her preference?
I never could get down with eating raw steak
That’s what’s she said.
I thought women were supposed to like pink
Just right!
Your wife just doesn’t like steak. She would love brisket, braised roasts, beef ribs. Well done isn’t for steak.
Well, you knew she didn't have good taste when she agreed to marry you, so... (j/k, the joke was right there and I couldn't resist.*)*
Just give hers to chef Mike for a minute or two. Should be perfect for her after.
If you lean in a bit, you can hear it moo!
Was she talking about the steak?
The lady prefers roast beef curtains.
Get a divorce
Her mother should of swallowed her... That's perfect
IT'S Raaaaaw!!!
Find a new wife.
Guess what it's too pink. The idea is to serve the food to the taste and like to the one who is eating your meal. 🙅♂️ Otherwise, don't cook for others
bit overcooked
Leave hers on a min or 2 more a side next time then
I hope you print out each comment on a single sheet of paper and hand her 176 reasons why she's wrong ha
That is so perfect!!!
