According to their 'expert' advice the French word for a rare steak is bleu.

In real live, however, the French word for a rare steak is saignant and bleu means very rare/raw.

Andre is right, bleu is the level below rare - it's a barely-cooked steak.

I think we are better to stick with the answer at #1 as their Expert said...........
The times given here are a guide only and refer to a steak that is approximately 2½cm or 1in thick. Thicker steaks may require a longer cooking time, and vice versa for thinner steaks.
Rare (bleu)

Cooking time (per side): 1-2 minutes

In the end that will be the answer that they want

Yup, you're both dead right

I obviously got the answer based on the choices & info given on the site, knowing it's actually wrong. :rolleyes:

I used to teach French before my brain turned to mush

Nowadays I rely on the overuse of smilies to make myself understood :rolleyes:;):D:p
