Does Prime Rib taste best when it's cooked medium rare?

Answer

Yes. Most cuts of meat are good rare or at least medium rare. But in the end, it all comes down to personal preference. I get horrified when I take a date to a good steakhouse and they order a perfect cut of meat well-done...

If you've never tried a cut of meat medium rare, try it once in your life. As long as its not served at a skecthy place with poor sanitation practices, i.e. using the same utensils for both raw and cooked meat, your chances of getting foodbourne illnesses are practically nil. Bacteria such as e. coli only reside on the "surface" of meat, which promptly die with the application of minimal heat, so if you have any fear about meat cooked less than cardboard-texture, rest easy. Once you taste the true flavor of meat, I guarantee you'll love steak even more!

Burgers are also very good medium rare! But be sure you order it at a place that grinds their beef fresh, on-location. Ground beef is full of those "surfaces" I just mentioned, and so ground beef that has been sitting a while is like a roulette game.
