Depends on the cut. A ribeye should be medium rare to medium to allow the fat to render. Anything less than that and you’re chewing uncooked fat. The leaner the meat the rarer i like it.
If you're picking 4 or 5 just get hamburger
2 or 3
Usually when I order medium, I get medium rare. I’ll order medium, but it’s rare that I it’s actually cooked that way.

Depends on the cut. Ribeyes, NT Strips, etc. rare. Nice char on each side and take it off! Fillets, medium rare.
It really depends on the cut.
Filets and strips I like medium rare. T-bones, ribeyes, and everything else I like medium.

It makes no sense to buy or order a good steak and then have it medium-well or well done. Aside from wasting your money on a steak that has been ruined in cooking, your taste buds are stupid if they like it.
Oddly enough some people can't stand even a trace of red or pink (blood) in their meat. Must be something psychological.

Rare for a filet and med rare for everything else. Sometimes I'll get my ribeye cooked to medium.
I've found the opposite to be true. Cooks in a good (usually somewhat expensive) restaurant know the difference between rare, medium rare and medium. Cooks in the lesser places err on the side of caution, order rare you get medium rare, order medium rare you get medium, etc. They know many diners don't understand the differences so the guy in the kitchen plays it safe.
Looking at the poll results HROT is probably typical of the public. I voted rare but there is no wrong answer after medium.
One of my historical favorites, Gen. U.S. Grant, would not eat any beef with a trace of pink in it. Odd for a man who had seen so much bloody carnage in the Civil War, and Mexico before that. Or maybe that's the reason.
The guy you knew is an idiot. You don't put a steak on the grill before it is room temperature.
Fight Grill.
Huh. The one time I had steak tartare was at a party, it was a meatball-sized roll of raw ground beef on a toothpick. No hot sauce to dress it up, I only had three.
There may be a different steak tartare I don't know about.
When I’m in a steak place I tell them I want a warm red center. Usually that is medium rare. I don’t tell them medium rare as people have different definitions on what that is
Can’t be Texas Roadhouse with all those peanuts. That’s what sent us to the fight bar to begin with.
