I would have cried. 

Incredibly lucky. While steak should only be eaten medium-rare, with the price of beef nowadays, I would've happily consumed them medium. Well done would've needed to be thrown in the meat grinder and used for beef barley soup or something and no amount of wine would've been enough of a consolation. 

hahaha.....  sorry but that's funny...  Once upon a time, tim put birthday cake in the oven to keep it safe... i don't have to say more i'm sure..  You're in good company..

I can't even eat meat cooked well-done. It's too tough and dry, and my esophagus is constricted. So I literally can't eat it. Finding them medium? A miracle. And damn, the flavor of that rub exploded in that slow roast. It was one of the best things I've made in a long time. Figures it'd have been by accident. hahaha.

Ohhh... oh, that'd be bad. Awww. I bet there was a sad boy in the house that day. Maybe more than one!

Luckily, mine turned out surprisingly good. It really was luck, though. Well... and my nose. "Those are some meaty-smelling potatoes..."

I like meat cooked.  Medium rare is best but I'd eat it any way.   tim still does that, but now there's always a note. LOL

Medium rare or medium for me. One reason is a simple physical limitation of my throat. Yes, I'm a gay man who has problems swallowing meat. And when put that way, it just sounds sad and funny. Mostly funny... lol

But I genuinely enjoy the flavor/texture of medium. A nicely grilled ribeye? There's nothing like it.

Though, again... I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the steaks that came out of the oven. Wild stuff.

Instant coffee rub???? Wow.  Fascinating.  Sadly I loath coffee but v glad the steaks survived for you!

No comment about swallowing. I'm sure you make up for that in other wonderful ways.   We rarely eat beef any more for a variety of reasons.  Tonight we had some amazing grilled chicken, it's not beef but it was damn good.

Mine was biscuits. 

They are not meant to be black and if they get that way they will most certainly cause the smoke detector to start screaming. And me too. 

It was a completed and iced cake... it was still edible... just. lol

Instant coffee on meat doesn't taste like coffee once cooked. It adds a bitter dimension that's hard to find another way. Salt, fat, acid, heat, bitterness. Those are the pillars of flavor, and I try to use as many as possible when cooking.

Something new I’ve just learnt!
