I'll give you it , thoroughly cooked rib eye tastes better. I just have read that you lose a lot of nutrition of the meat that way.
Anyway I know your false teeth might no be able to take that Grandpa
It's not about thoroughly cooking, it's about the rendering of fat.
The flavour of beef is entirely dependent on the fat and sinew content, the more fat and connecting tissue in a cut then the more flavour the steak will have providing the fat is sufficiently rendered.
It's why fillet has should be eaten rare, it has next to no fat content so the flavour is subtle and comes out more when the beef has been aged.
A subtle flavour is destroyed after cooking, also fillet is very tender, something else which is fucked after cooking.
Steak tartare for example is high quality minced fillet, topped with an egg and eaten raw.
The more fat content in a steak cut then the more the fat needs to be rendered to get any flavour out of it.
Fat content (and therefore flavour) by cut with least to most is as follows....
Fillet
Sirloin
Rump
Rib-eye
Steaks should be cooked/eaten accordingly.
But any steak or piece of beef regardless of quality should not be cooked more than medium because after that point all integrity of the meat is lost completely.
A piece of beef cooked beyond medium is just knackered......tough, chewy and unpalatable.
And FYI the nutritional content of meat goes UP after cooking not down, unless you destroy it by over cooking it.
False teeth? Grandad? Who the fuck are you trying to insult folk in a thread you've just stepped into!?
You've mucked your ticket lad!
