Why you shouldn't cook steak well done?
Chef's answer
The meat gets tougher. Order well and you're totally drying it out, making the steak tougher and less melt-in-your-mouth tender. Technically, medium rare is considered perfectly cooked because that's when the proteins haven't started to break down but the fat has rendered and given it juicy flavor.
