I work a nicer hotel with a restaurant. Guest ordered a medium rare steak. Line cook hands me this and says it’s cooked properly for a steak. According to him I don’t know what I’m talking about and the steak is cooked correctly and you can’t make everyone happy all the time.

Definitely can’t make anyone happy if he’s sending that shit out
Yeah the cook where you work is a dumbass and doesn’t give 1 shit about his job. Tell the customers to make complaints about the food and name the cook specifically
No, not it is not.
Yes all the nicer hotels serve their steaks on plates from a dennys in 1993 and accompany them with black plastic ramekins filled with barbecue sauce
As Gordon Ramsay would say, that is “cooked to fuck”. And the cook sounds like a pompous asshole.
I think you need a different line cook
Why touch with hand tho
That’s not well done. Thats congratulations.
He deserves to be in The Hague

Gross
No
Fire the cook , Now! The only way that thin is properly cooked is if it was ordered well.
It would be difficult to cook that more wrong. No crust at all, looks ugly with no color and it’s WAY overcooked.
I wouldn’t pay a dime
Dude shouldn’t even be allowed to boil water.
Medium grey 😆
If by “cooked properly” they mean “well done” then yes, but what really floors me is they got it to well done without even getting a good sear on it.
My dog wouldn’t eat that and he likes poop
Did the cook boil it first?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Somebody ordered a medium rare steak from this guy once and the feedback was just “well done!” so he took that as a compliment and ran with it.
Raw
Nothing about that is cooked properly
It was definetely done well.
That line cook needs to be fired or made the dish washer.
Was that…. Boiled?
People who are incompetent in the core skills of their profession often have high competence in gaslighting.
Thats properly cooked for my dog.
I’d be sending that shit back until it was prepared how I wanted it
Isent that steak too thin to have a chance of med rare?
Just searing it would make for med well best case. I’m no expert but that looks like a cheap fast fry cut to me
Sounds to me like he doesn’t know how to cook a medium rare steak :/
This is where you find the chef on duty and say “hey grill cook says this is MR, can you confirm?”
Bro should be promoted to customer
Line cook is trying to cover his ass for a shitty job.
That’s a bad job well done
No food poisoning on his watch, no sir
Your cook is either an idiot, lazy or overworked. You would have to check the temperature to be certain, but IMO that steak is at best medium well if not well done. By looks, a medium rare steak should have a red center with maybe a little pink. This steak appears to be overcooked. I feel sorry for the guy who was served that piece of shoe leather…
Looks over cooked and under seared
I would eat it if I made it for myself.
I wouldn’t eat it or pay for it I ordered it at a restaurant
The fries look pretty good though.
Want to add this considering all the repetitive comments and even a few DMs calling me stupid for bringing it to the guest
THE GUEST DID NOT SEE THIS STEAK AT ALL. He had no idea it was overdone. I clocked that it was over cooked immediately. Yes that is my hand. I took the picture, made him start a new one, tossed the steak, and washed my hands. My income is dependent on how happy guests are, I wouldn’t risk my income on something so ugly.
Also I don’t know why the steak looks that low quality. Our steaks have never been thin like that and are incredible normally. I don’t know how he fucked it up that bad but I have regulars that come for the steak because it’s normally incredible. This was wild even for me.
“Here is your steak sir, please let me know if it not to your liking. It’ll be my pleasure to bring it back to the kitchen. Again, I’ll be just over there, don’t hesitate. I want you to have the perfect steak and the best experience.” #maliciouscopliance
