"Longhorn Steakhouse hooked us up here, agreeing to share aggregated data about how Americans prefer their steak. Longhorn shared a year’s worth of steak orders1 from all of its 491 U.S. locations, revealing how Americans ordered all different cuts of steak. It turns out that Americans claim to like their steak a lot rarer than they actually do!"

Depends on the cut and the restaurant.
I also think there has been a shift... A medium looks a lot like what a medium rare looked like 25 years ago...

Good point.

At our school's cafeteria, one learned that you had to order your burger one level up from whatever you wanted (e.g. a medium burger would be rare). So, after a while you just heard "well done" with an occasional "medium" called out to the grill chef. Of course, one day I'm standing in line when someone asks for a burger "rare" and the entire line yelled, "NO!!! Don't do that! He won't even put it on the grill!"

In the US I ask for rare knowing it will be medium rare
In Europe I ask for medium rare knowing it well trend rare.
And when I want tartare, I want to see the damn thing still breathing. And I love tartare.

Well, that's Longhorn. I suspect if you put in some higher end steak places you'd find it different.
I loved Longhorn's chili, but they took it off the menu.

That was thought. Anything more than medium rare is a total waste of good meat. Ruinous and uncalled for actually.

Mrs. George "I want it like a hockey puck" would disagree. I've tried, believe me, I've tried!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Got a friend visiting from France who said similar thing. His steak experience at Longhorn completely ruined his view on American steakhouse.

Some places I can just use the term "blue" to mean rarer than rare. Some other places I emphasize to the server "make it as rare as you are legally allowed to serve it."

Believe me when I say the struggle is real here as well. Like throwing coke into a great bourbon.

Yeap. At higher end places I feel more comfortable ordering rare. Also depends on the meat. I have come to prefer medium rare rather than rare for meat with lots of marbling because getting the intramuscular fat heated up a bit more makes the thing more tasty.

I call the intramuscular fat flavor crystals. Many medium and up people like to cut that away too, more shame.

Medium rare for steak. Medium for burgers

Rare. Just rare.

13 Steakhouse Chains In The US, Ranked Worst To Best
To compile this convenient yet comprehensive rundown, I gathered a lengthy list of steakhouse chains, from casual to fine dining, and narrowed it down to those with about 25 or more franchises. From there, I spoke with meat lovers, read countless reviews, and went back into the Tasting Table archives. I paid attention to more than just steak, though. After all, steakhouses serve patrons everything from burgers to fish to potatoes and veggies.
