I voted bloody, but i'm gonna have to say you have to clarify type of steak.
Really nice, you pay lots so you can eat it bloody.
Shitty steak, you damn well better burn the shit out of it.

I prefer it stored for days under my saddle, then sliced into thin strips.

Bloody. I generally go for a purple with some red around it.

"Wipe its nasty ol' ass, lop its horns off, and put it on my plate." (or something like that)
Medium rare has always been my choice, but I'm finding too many places don't know how to cook that, so I've been ordering medium more often to balance their lack of skills.

I prefer "Pittsburg Style" which is bloody as hell but burnt on the outside, and just plain-ol-rare is just fine too, but
1. The only place I've gone that consistently did a Pittsburg/rare steak correctly is Mancy's in Toledo, and
2. I am so sick of getting screwed up steaks that I almost never get steak in a restaurant, any more.
I hate spending $20 on a piece of meat that isn't as good as what I can make at home on my grill with a $6 piece of meat from the butcher shop.

"Wipe it's butt and light a match under it" if the phrase I'm familiar with.

"Knock off the horns and hooves and walk it through a warm kitchen."

My quote was from a movie. Woody Harrelson says it.

Heh. I googled mine, and found www.howtowipeyourbutt.com
I didn't click.

Sounds familiar. It might be from The Cowboy Way.

So far, there are 4 of you who eat steak but don't like the taste of steak. Fascinating.

Yeah, i can't understand anything more than medium, and even that's a stretch.
(long ago)
Me: I like steak
Some girl: me too!
Me: Oh, you should definitely try the filet here then.
girl: OK
(time passes, it's time to order)
girl: I'd like mine medium well.
Me: I thought you liked steak?

Local DJ was talking about a customer buying a steak and complaining that is wasn't rare. Finally the chef came out and they were arguing over what was rare. The chef finally said, "Sir, a good vet could still save that animal."

I've only once in my life sent back a steak that was too rare. When I told the waitress that there was no way I could eat a piece of steak that was still pink ON THE OUTSIDE, she said, "Oh, I thought you ordered it double rare." I had ordered it Pittsburgh-style rare. She hadn't heard of it so made something up.
It was pink on the outside and cool to the touch. Too rare even for me.
That's one of the 2 reasons I only order Pittsburgh in serious steak houses.

Hope that was not at your last visit to Mancy's
