Definitely not red anymore. I think she must have feared undercooked meat. Mainly it was just a pan frying issue, as roasts and other cooking methods were fine. But I do remember the numerous hockey puck qualities some of those steaks would have.

It might have been the type of meat too. Sometimes the real lean steaks shrivel into expensive leather strips, especially in a pan. There's a trial and error process sometimes with steaks that's a pain in the ass.

That may have been the case. I think it was mostly when I was still young, because I don't remember any of that as I grew older.
