How do you cook a rare blue steak?
Chef's answer
For rare, just do the steak in a normal pan or grill, flip once, about two minutes per side (less if the steak is very thin). For both blue and rare applications you will want steaks that are on the thick side, and with not much marbling (intramuscular fat), as the short cooking time won't melt the fats..
