Soooo, what's a "blue" steak? They all look "red" to me. - Daniela2041, Sep 27, 2016

Take an image with you mate , or better still a Spanish girlfriend , but ask permission from your wife first. - ray76, Sep 27, 2016

Answer 1

Never heard of that in the land of OZ , I guess it is not quite dead.

Blue rare steak,-Filete raro azul.

So now I know what a "blue" steak is." ¡Qué lengua más confusa es el inglés! - Daniela2041, Sep 27, 2016

I had never heard of it before now either . Inglés es muy confuso para mí también. - ray76, Sep 27, 2016

I assumed that it was an extremely sad steak, as they all likely are. - jtaniel, Sep 27, 2016

I guessed that it would refer to a steak, cooked rare (barely cooked) - FELIZ77, Sep 27, 2016

Hello Off to Spain,

Welcome to our SpanishDict community.

You asked:

How do I order a very blue steak in a restaurant?

As you can clearly see from Ray's very informative chart, a blue steak is a very rare steak (one that is not cooked or very lightly cooked!)

So, you can say / Por eso, puedes decir:

Me gustaría un bistec muy poco hecho, por favor = I would like a very rare steak, please (A steak, very lightly cooked! )

or

Quisiera un filete de tenera azul (o un filete de tenera muy raro), por favor = I would like a very rare steak, please

These are just two ways to ask for a steak in a restaurant in Spain / Spanish speaking countries! I am sure that Spanish natives like Daniela, Oshnaj and Luis amongst others, will be able to offer alternative suggestions!

I hope this helps

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor
