What's a good analogy for having your steak well-done?

Asked by Magnus (2884points) April 8th, 2009

I thought I was king of analogies, I’m not, I need help.

A well-done steak has been excessively broiled and stripped of all taste and tenderness…

Be funny.
Good luck.

Cooking a steak well-done: the conversion of a decent cut of meat into an unappetizing carbon puck.

“There’s no accounting for taste.”

In other words, cooking a steak well-done is ruining it, in my opinion.

A good cook can actually do it well done, correctly. I like mine.

How’s that strip of leather? Oh, you’re having a hockey puck for dinner? Are you going to need more ketchup to get that thing down your throat?

Like sun-dried road kill slathered with A-1 sauce. But, hey, some people like it that way.

@YARNLADY is correct… When we eat at a steak house, I ask the wait staff to put mine on the grill. Take the others orders, serve them, then turn mine over. A properly cooked well done steak is not an impossibility.
