Eating Blood

Question

Hello, I am a protestant Christian, and have a friend who is also protestant.

My friend claims I am sinning by eating a rare steak. He claims that any blood in the meat is “cooked out” when meat is cooked well done. That would seem to eliminate the koshering process.

It seems to me, any residual blood in meat cooked well done would be eating cooked blood.

Is it possible to ” Cook the blood out of meat”?

Thank you for your thoughts.

God Bless!

    The Torah prohibition against eating blood is one that is applicable to Jews alone.

    According to Jewish Law, the only way to kosher meat after it is ritually slaughtered, is by the meat going through a whole process that includes salting it and soaking it several times to take out the blood.
