first of all, why do I have to tell the chef how to make the steak? "medium rare"? "well done"? those are words made up by wizards or something. second of all I don't like how they taste. they're super expensive and they just taste so boring. chicken goated steak boring. I'm in my early 20s so I'm getting used to some "acquired taste" things slowly like wine and coffee but steak is still so bland.

    That's just how long you cook it, it's not just a thing with steak but all red meats. Most people prefer it to be at least somewhat "rare", meaning less cooked with still some red juicy meat in the middle. "Done" is when you cook it all the way through, this tends to dry out the meat though and make it less flavorful.
