The 'Rare Steak' meme (also known as 'That's Rare') typically features a dialogue between a chef and a customer regarding the level of 'doneness' of a steak. The joke relies on a pun where the customer requests a steak that represents a 'rare' occurrence—usually a highly unlikely event, a niche opinion, or a piece of media that is difficult to find. When the chef serves the meat nearly raw or 'blue,' it serves as a visual punchline confirming that the request is, indeed, exceptionally rare. It gained significant traction on platforms like Reddit and Twitter as a versatile format for self-deprecating humor or social commentary on specific fandoms and internet communities.
