The sole of my shoe has more taste than a well done steak.

It dries out and ruins the flavour of the meat. If I wanted to chew on leather, I'd chew on leather.

What gives steak its flavor is blood. Well done evaporates or whatever a lot of that tasty cow death.

Most of the appeal of well done is prolly because it sounds good. Like you did something right.

It's the most thoroughly cooked way of having steak. Where as rare is the least thoroughly cooked way of having steak. The problem people have with well done steaks is because the meat is often very tough to chew and very dry. It also has a lack of flavor too.

I like my steak well done. I refuse to eat any meat that isn't cooked well done.

Thank you for this culinary exposition. I shall heed these words in my future dining experiences. +rep

Because all the flavor gets cooked out of it. A well done steak is a tough rubber slab.
