I just can't imagine eating a steak well done. Hamburger on the other hand must be cooked all the way through. We don't even get the option of how we would like our hamburgers cooked in Canada. Although, prior to pregnancy I had a few amazing medium burgers in Maui that were beyond delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side/page/2#post-2065907 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:43:42 +0000 alphagam84 2065907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Steak is completely safe to eat as long as the outside has at least been cooked somewhat. With steak, the potential bad bacteria/virus/whatever is on the outside of the meat. With ground meat, that all gets mixed together which is why you need to cook a burger to a certain internal temp to kill whatever stuff is in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side/page/2#post-2065332 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 20:38:01 +0000 youboots 2065332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm mid rare all the way. I am also on team lunch meat and sushi. I do have burgers cooked thru. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side/page/2#post-2065291 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 20:00:26 +0000 stiletto_mom 2065291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat mine medium rare.

I only had it once or twice, though, because I had major meat aversions when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065155 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 18:07:28 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2065155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Medium rare forever and always! Even while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065154 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 18:06:07 +0000 Silva 2065154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: yes, absolutely. My understanding is that any bacteria would be on the outside, which is seared to a hot enough temp. If you are worried, you should be more cautious with burgers, where everything is ground up together.<br /> I ate steak rare and burgers medium while pregnant, usually I do do rare and med-rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065152 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 18:01:53 +0000 BabyTsMom 2065152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had medium rare. But only from reputable places. I didn't even trust DH to cook me a medium rare steak, but had no problems from a nice restaurant, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065140 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:47:05 +0000 KatieBklyn 2065140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer it medium rare, but during pregnancy I've been ordering it medium. I really miss rare roast beef, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065137 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:40:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2065137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Melt in your mouth like buttah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065136 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:40:08 +0000 BSB 2065136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My former boss took me there when I was interviewing for my current job. It was my first trip to Seattle and the steaks were amazing!! It was and probably is still the most expensive steak I ate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065129 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:30:48 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2065129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I almost suggested Metropolitan Grill for you. Love that place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065124 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:27:30 +0000 Ree723 2065124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat my steak very rare (purple with a hint of red around the edges) and never changed to any other way whilst pregnant. I eat steak at least once a week and never had any problems! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065122 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:27:12 +0000 BSB 2065122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meganmp: @PurplePeony: Oh, it's local to my area... South king county... so within 20 minute radius of my house. It's one of the top steak places in our area and has great reviews. (I can wall you the restaurant but I don't think it's going to be better than El Gaucho) Seattle is about a 45 minute drive and Bellevue is 25 minute drive for us (both no traffic). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065117 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:24:15 +0000 78h2o 2065117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually eat my steak rare, but when I was pregnant with my first, I had it cooked well. I still liked it. I think one time I ordered fish and had a bite of my husband's medium rare steak... I lived to tell about it :) I don't think it's come up so far this pregnancy... I've generally been less strict this time around, so not sure what I'd do. I'd probably have it medium-rare if it was at a good place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065068 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:52:45 +0000 meganmp 2065068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I did it! If it's too rare for your comfort level, plead pregnancy and send it back for a bit more cooking. Now I'm curious where you're going!</p> <p>ETA: If you have a chance, go to Miller's Guild. Holy hell- amazing. So, so amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065062 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:50:31 +0000 Beehive 2065062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I normally order steak medium, and I went with well done during pregnancy (and generally didn't eat steak, because well done steak isn't my thing!). My first meal post-delivery was a cheeseburger cooked medium, I remember how juicy it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065052 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:43:21 +0000 MrsBrewer 2065052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I avoided steak. DH is being a stickler to all the rules for me, and he doesn't feel comfortable with me eating a Medium Rare steak (which is how I would order it) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065051 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:42:53 +0000 snowjewelz 2065051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I ate it that often so I would still do medium rare! Anything more well done I might as well not eat it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065047 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:41:39 +0000 PurplePeony 2065047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: haha, anytime people mention amazing steak, I automatically think El Gaucho because I've been wanting to go for so long. If the place you go is as good as it sounds, I want to know where it is!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065045 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:33:11 +0000 GrapeCrush 2065045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I compromised and ate it medium. I still ate it if it was a little rarer. I also wasn't too into the food rules though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065037 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:26:50 +0000 loveisstrange 2065037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally still ate it medium rare. Of course, I also still ate lunch meat and sushi too so.... yeah. Im not all about being paranoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-eat-your-steak-on-the-rarer-side#post-2065031 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:21:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2065031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ate medium rare throughout pregnancy.
