Gettining your steak rare? - Beyond Tiki

There have been a few times where it tastes so good that I eat a quarter of the steak this way. One of my favorite appetizer dishes is served at a local Lebanese restaurant - raw lamb and various spices and oils, all mixed together. I am also a fan of steak tartare. I'm recalling Rodney Dangerfield's insult line from Caddyshack, that goes something like "This steak is so rare that you can still see the marks where the jockey hit it with a whip." Vern
