Ok, so this is supposed to be a fun and somewhat serious post (hopefully nothing goes wrong).
I'm not a huge steak guy, so I've never cooked one before. Thought I'd try my hand at it tonight, and I think it turned out OK... I think. I defrosted a thick slab of steak, seared it on high heat for a bit, then put it on medium heat for a few minutes. Flipped both sides. Cut it in the middle to see if it was done, it wasn't quite yet. Gave it a few more minutes and it was red/pink, and kinda bloody.
Put it on the plate and took a few bites, but the inside wasn't "hot" like steaks usually are. Put it back on the pan for a few more minutes on medium heat, and the inside was getting medium rare. Tried a few more bites, but it still wasn't hot! I figured since it was no longer bloody, that it was pretty thoroughly cooked.
Here's the question: was it done??? Will I wake up in a few days barfing my guts out?
I'm pretty sure everything's ok, after all it was pretty tasty for the first try.
