It really wasn't rebellion against my dad. He was out of the picture
by 6th grade. I just like raw beef. Even my mother wouldn't let me
eat it completely raw, because she thought it might be unsafe. She
might have been correct, but I don't seem to ever get sick from under-
cooked beef. I don't like raw lamb. I cook lamb chops MR to M, and
pork chops M to MW. I also tend to cook a well marbled steak to at
least MR, A strip steak is my favorite because they are typically
less fatty than a tenderloin. Sirloins, I always want rare, cooked
fast over high heat. None of those preferences has much/anything to
do with by lousy excuse for a father.
