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.
Beef has its own extremely distinct flavor that can make it unwieldy when you just want something to give a meal a bit more substance. Chicken is like tofu in that you can just sort of adaptably fit it in and have it complement rather than take over a dish, whereas beef really needs a treatment like kofta to bring it into line by overpowering it with onions, garlic, and other spices.
