Depending on the cut I like mine medium rare to rare.
How do you like your steak cooked?

Must be well done ;3
I used to work in a steakhouse. You'd be suprised by how many people would order a steak extra well done. If I worked an 8 hour shift, I'd get 2 or 3 orders for one of those. At first, I'd make a welldone steak and cook it a little extra. Send it out. I've had them returned with the instructions given to me to 'burn it'. So I'll cook it for an additional couple minutes on each side on a open fire grill and send it back out charred. That was what they wanted.
I've also had people order steaks so rare that they were bloody as hell. They'd literally just want the sear marks from the grill on it. Like... 60 seconds cooked on each side. If temped out, they'd be like 65 degrees in the middle. Fucking gross.

Guys most of the stuff you think is blood is Myoglobulin(sp?) it sounds worse than blood but its not. So if you are eating a well steak due to the blood you may rest a bit easier.
I was a well done eater most of my life but when I started cooking instead of eating out I learned my lesson. I generally get 'medium well" when I eat out because most places will not get temps right.
A medium steak has a nice flavor,oil, salt, pepper not much else needed.

I will usually order Steak medium-rare from a steakhouse, possibly medium from somewhere else but I rarely eat steak from regular restaurants as they do not age the meat which I believe to be the most essential part of the process.
If you're ever in Tampa/Central FL, try to make a stop at Berns. It is probably one of the best steakhouses in the entire country and reasonably affordable, depending on what you order. Additionally if you're a wine junkie, they've got something like 20,000 bottles, some being as old as the 1700's.

Probably the best restaurant meat I had was Lawry's in Vegas, but I got a primerib with some other goodies and several gin-cocktails. Was a nice place, but not my style.
That steakhouse you linked to... Mmm, looks good.
I forget what it was called, but it looks like really thin sliced pepperoni... but it's raw/cold beef. Had some of that on a cruise last year and despite thinking I'd not like it, it was damn good. Forget what it's called though... I know its a pricey treat.
Beef Carpaccio?

Probably, Carpaccio is delicious, although I've never had it on a cruise.

Depends on who's preparing it and what kind of steak it is. If I bought something expensive and am preparing ti myself, I like it medium rare to medium. Same goes for expensive restauraunts. Anything else is medium well, or another dish entirely. Why eat a terrible steak when you could eat a decent burger?
I typically like my steaks well done. But I order it as so, "Well done, but NOT burnt". It almost always comes back just the way I like it. If they know what they are doing then it will not be dry otherwise they have to try again.

I like it cooked, normally cooked without any blood but cooked everywhere.
