Your Guide to Having the Best-tasting Steak at Monterey Restaurants

The way a steak is cooked is purely a matter of preference. The waiter usually asks this after you place your order. If you like the outside cooked and the inside partially raw, go for rare. When the outside is thoroughly cooked and the inside is cooked but slightly red, it's medium. If the steak is cooked all the way through and somewhat charred, it's well done. It is also possible to have a steak cooked between two levels, i.e. medium rare, medium well, etc. Add sauces and side dishes It is said that the sauce makes the meat, but premium restaurants in Monterey, CA like Domenicos on the Wharf point out that quality beef shouldn't require any.
