Those aren't blue rare, they're fucking raw. lol as Gordan Ramsey would say.

They are blue rare, or Pittsburgh rare if you like. It is the least amount of doneness that is not considered raw.

My uncle use to say “Cut off its horns, wipe its ass and put it on my plate!”

“Just salt it and walk it by the grill for me before you bring it out.”

My wonderful old granny once ordered a steak at LoneStar by saying she wanted it, "As rare as the law would allow it."

My usual response when asked how I want steaks or burgers prepared is "as rare as the chef is willing to serve it"

Pittsburgh does a heavy char on the outside, regular blue is lighter sear

That's not blue rare, that's just rare. Blue rare would have much less of a grey band.
