Medium well. As in...no blood, but still juicy and tender. A little pink in the middle is okay. Cooked with butter; cracked pepper for seasoning.

I'm with MCC. Medium well. Pink in the center.
Any form of meat for that matter, unless its sashimi. In which case, wasabi and soy sauce are a necessity.

Meat

I like meat.

I can eat it just about any way the waitress brings it out but I order it Medium Rare. Gives the cook a good range because I'll not complain if at least the chill is knocked off it or just a touch of pink is left in it.

Folks it's dead when you put in on the grill - you don't have to kill it again.

Rare to Medium Rare - but closer to the Rare side!

I usually ask for "as rare as humanly possible," as every restaurant I go to either has regulations against serving live animals or thinks I didn't really mean "rare" when I said "rare." Although, I had a smart*ss waitress once bring me a slightly defrosted hunk of meat on a plate. I liked her.

So who's the one vote for "Other (explain yourself)"?

Medium well, not too juicy, not too burnt

Rare, at least 1 1/2 inches thick, bloody more than juicy, with my special seasoning, prepared by me, developed through years of experience as BBQs official cook.
That's how I earned the title of " Worshipful grill master"

You want to share that special seasoning recipe?

I used to have it just passed through a warm room. For the last few years though I've prefered rare to medium rare. Every once in a while though the Viking Warrior makes his presence known and a bloody mess is had over the open flame, as it should be....
