Ordered steak (prime rib) hibachi, medium, at a Japanese restaurant. Shared it with my girlfriend, we were blown away by how good it was. Best we’ve ever had at this restaurant, it was hot, juicy!, delicious. We ate a fair amount of it, probably around 60% of it. We got home later and decided to eat some leftovers, so I figured let’s cut it in half so I can replicate the way it was cooked. Boom, looks like this. Should we be concerned? Any idea what to do from here. Seems very, very far from medium to me. Thanks…

Medium Blue like you ordered. Don’t see a problem /s
You did great! Beef isn’t the same as chicken, much safer to eat rare / or even tartare. In general, get your pan or grill to the highest it will go and get a crust on the outside with the goal to get the interior warmed.
Medium in portion or cooked? /j
It looks medium, or they mistook which medium you meant and went with medium rare.
Medium means blue in Japanese
Nice knowing you. Certain death is mere moments away.
Strait from the fridge to the grill.
You seemed to ate a lot of it was it good
Raw beef 🤤
Clearly you enjoyed it as it’s basically gone.
I guess they thawed it for medium amount of time. Outside looks boiled. Yuck.
Yeah, looks like you didn’t enjoy it at all.
Look like a chinese restaurant
I mean, I’d hit that…
You ate 60% of it before realizing it was basically raw? You had to cut it open to realize?
Medium alive.
Part of the reason you liked it so much is probably because how undercooked it was.
There’s no reason for it to be basically raw. But a very rare steak is usually gonna be better than one cooked medium.
If my meat came out like this, I wouldn’t be to mad since I like all m temperatures. I’m the same person that can eat blue or super well done to the point of congratulations.

Take a minute to pause, breathe, and recognize that you might actually like rarer meat?

That’s not blue that’s just raw
Shouldve been left on the grill a few more seconds to get somewhere between medium rare and rare, whereas this is just rare. I might not eat this but i like my chopped filet to basically be rare in the middle but this is like the whole thing is rare almost to the outside. The best chopped filet is blue inside. Whole steak should be closer to medium than medium rare tho.
Is that for hot pot? Cause its not cooked
You probably should not be concerned but yeah….. That’s blue not medium. You can eat most beef completely raw and be safe though.
Was the chef even Japanese?
look like they jsut sear the outside and said good enough.
If you good pay attention, you can still hear them mooing
Blue-rare is the only way IMO to eat steak, this looks delicious!
A rare please!
