    My ancestors had to eat and run before the saber toothed tigers showed up. We had no time to build a fire.

    LOL…

    Yeah, but to be real, a well done steak contains more carcinogens (HCL’s) than its rarer counterpart. The more you cook a steak, the greater amount of carcinogens.
    And do note that the type of carcinogens we’re talking about can create a multitude of problems such as colon polyps, cancer, thyroid problems etc.

    Of course, those results came from testing lab rats and monkeys so there might be a bit of solace in knowing that.

    I read a study that said rats and monkeys are more likely to send their steak back to the kitchen to be further cooked than dogs do.

    Way way back before I met DH ….so it would have been in the early 1980’s I asked a vet about the best food for small dogs
    ( I had 2 silky terriers ) ….and he said have you ever seen a wild dog light a fire and cook the rabbit they just caught ?
    So he recommended raw meat @John Brunner .

    I ‘m cooking porterhouse steak for our meal tonite ..it will be medium …...cooked without being …. like eating cardboard

    somewhere between Medium and Medium rare. I spent 30 years in commercial kitchen's and was certified as a Chef de Cuisine, and I am picky
