I like my steak (and my tuna) grilled so it is charred on the outside
and purple in the center. The best of both worlds.   I also enjoy
steak tartare, but that is harder to find.  The last excellent one I
found was in Quebec.

I've stopped ordering steak when I go to a restaurant. I'm a philistine

that's a task beyond the ability of most chefs.

Any chef worth of the title would consider that a lack of taste on the
part of the diner.
F*** the chef, I'm paying for the meal, not a snotty attitude.
Then go to a diner.

When you go to a "fine dining" establishment you are paying for the
expertise of the chef.  Telling him how to do his job is a dumb idea.
We'll just have to disagree on this one.  If I'm footing the bill, it
should be cooked the way I want it, if I specify.  Asking for a steak
with no pink and receiving a mooing cow, on my dime, is not on.

Yes!  In any restaurant I've been to the waiter asks how you'd like your
steak cooked.  If I say 'well done', I bloody well mean it!

(er, I mean it un-bloodied, actually)
