Looks like it was cooked a week ago and set out on the counter to dry

That’s already well past well done and has entered the jerky stage (much like the customer in this case, by the sounds of it).

They asked for a hockey puck, and you gave them a crispy eraser instead.
For shame

But that’s a piece of charcoal

I don’t know how much more that can be cooked

They need the black bits chef. The Authentic Black Lines of Doneness. A Sharpie and a ruler is what you need now.

Lack of carbon? Maybe wanting char/Maillard reaction

Cremate it and send out the ashes . Clearly all that will be accepted now.

did anything else survive the blaze?

I’ve had something like that before on a well done steak order. Had no pink at all but they wanted to done more, decided to give it to chef Mike for a few minutes and then a little soak in the deep fryer. Much to my dismay, they fucking loved it.

That steak ain’t well done, it’s congratulated.

They were probably just baffled by the results and couldn’t imagine someone left it on a pan long enough to make this mess

At an old place I worked, we had a guy do this every week. Finally, chef got sick of it and threw a steak in the fryer for about 15min, reverse seared, then sent it assuming the guy would send it back for being fucked. Waitress relayed the message “that was the best steak I’ve had in my life.” We deep fried one steak every week after that and didn’t get any more sent back.
The moral of the story? If someone wants you to ruin their steak, quit trying to make it something you’d be proud of and just fuck it up. They’ll love it.

Was it boiled?!

Personally that steak is very cooked. Knowing someone that has a lung transplant, they need their meat to be well passed cooked so they eliminate any means of getting some sort of infection, so I will give the consumer the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps they’ve had an organ transplant?

This one time a waitress came back with a steak the client said wasn’t medium well.
I was on grill and I was good at it. I said to punch another one in and I threw on another steak. Whatever.
Waitress comes back, flustered, with the same story. Turns out the client had berated her, and now she’s passing this onto me saying I don’t know what I’m doing and it’s costing her.
First, I told her to stop bitching at me, which made her cry and apparently break down in the bathroom.
Second, I grabbed the chart off the wall with steak temps/done-ness, jammed a thermometer into the meat, and walked it out to the client myself.
The client is like “you took the time to try and fix this but you’re showing me what a medium well is – I’ve been waiting here all night for a medium rare”
(she punched it in wrong, twice)

Was your customer orange colored and requested extra ketchup?

Hi, sorry, that was probably my aunt. I won’t go out to eat with that part of the family, we all lnow she’s batshit crazy, as do all the restraunts too.
Also, how does one actually eat something like that? My jaw would tap out after a single bite.
I worked at a diner for a while bussing as a kid where the steaks came medium rare, full stop.
Sign on the menu saying what that meant and where they could find a microwave if they wanted it past that, and if they wanted it less done the owner would tell them to dip it in water. He was old, cantankerous as hell, nuts, but funny as shit, I loved working for that guy, and I’ll hand it to him he cooked a damned good steak.
If you ordered before noon it came with 2 sunny side up eggs and toast, after noon it came with a baked potato and grilled veggies.
Your only actual options were whether you wanted a side of gravy or not.

I had to take a sip of water just from looking at this.
