Why does having something 'cooked properly' be called 'well done'? I don't get it.
ah intelligent discussion time.
Cooking is pretty much the art of making food taste good correct? (and not kill people) steak is one of the few meats which its totally capable of being cooked for a few seconds and eaten(even enjoyed depending on your taste).
The names just reflect their status. Well done is that its been "done" for the longest time. Only overcooks more, and i would punch someone if they asked me to cook that.
The reason I (and many others) disagree with it being cooked well done is because the whole expense of the steak is wasted since your cooking it to the point where its comparable to a beef burger, which is a waste of a good cut (at least in a few eyes). Stick to burgers
