I attended a cooking school for 6 mos. It was taught by a Navy cook
retired after a jillion tours. He was actually a very good cook,
until it came to meat. We'd get these awesome roasts. Prime rib,
etc. He'd cook every one of them to death! No kidding. Those
gorgeous choice cut 8-10 lb roasts would not come out of our
commercial convection ovens until they were roasted geezer-shoe-brown
from edge to edge. Our instructor never even heard of "rare" or
"medium".

Perhaps the Navy would get chipped beef. The USAF always got
hamburger.
