Why is rare called english on the photo?

I prefer to eat any from bleu to medium rare, I don't mind it raw either

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Is there a vegetarian option?

Rare or bleu or whatever the word is on page 1.
My daughter in law is Brazilian she likes her steak 'ruined' as she calls it. Basically, well done and then some.
The Brazilians use a cut they call Picanha, (top sirloin cap) it is excellent.

Uncooked side of rare so English which to be honest I'd never heard the term.

The exception is a Ribeye which needs a bit more to melt the fat.

Using the term English is daft because we are usually the one nation that spoils a steak by insisting on it being well done. Europeans love blood, we hate it. I love steak tartar all my mates think I'm weird.

Medium rare.

And I haven’t read the thread so I might be repeating this, but for those of you who are squeamish, it’s not actually blood.

A chunk of elk loin with some garlic scape butter on top

looks perfect.

rib-eye is my favourite
One top tip that enhanced my enjoyment of steak:

cut across the grain always. It shortens the meat fibres and makes the steak more tender.
Sometimes the grain doesn't run straight across the steak but its easy to check where it is before it goes on the bbq.

Just cut it's horns off, wipe it's arse and throw it in a pan

Never heard of “English” before in terms of length of cooking.. if it was a good steak I’d choose that or failsafe would be medium/rare
