Rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, or well?

MR edging on the rarer side NY strip or flank steak, medium for burgers. I haven’t eaten filet in years, I’ve always preferred the more flavorful sirloin (and prime rib I find gross), but when I did I used to love Tournedos Rossini (tournedos topped with a slice of pate de foie gras and madeira sauce, sometimes on a crouton or a bed of artichoke hearts but I prefer it without) and Beef Wellington. I like filet rare but cooked, if you know what I mean. Nothing blue.

I think of MR as nicely blackened/seared outside, red or dark pink but inside. I think of Medium as brown extending further in, lighter pink in the middle.
