Five could be good too. I was a big medium rare steak girl until I had a steak in texas and it still had horns on it when I ordered it medium rare.Depending on the cut, either a 3 or a 4.

3 or 4. You like chewing on leather?
Shut up, nigga3 or 4. You like chewing on leather?

Nailed it. Flank, skirt and steak tips, especially if marinated can be enjoyable if done a bit more.. I'd argue they are more chewy when undercooked because of the cut. Everything else I prefer like you laid out. The Ribeye can be tricky because the "eye" tends to cook faster than the cap, when I grill them, often I end up with a rare cap, medium eye.. which is frustrating. What i like to do is smoke/reverse sear them which usually works out pretty good.The sweet spot for almost any cut of beef is the rare/medium rare range (sorry, JLaff, but that includes the ribeye, too). Cuts like the mignon, and higher quality beef, are often better at the more rare end, while something like a flank steak is often better done to the higher end, or even to medium if the quality isn't as high.
But, in the end, the science doesn't really matter, because life gives us all preferences. But we should all be able to agree that anyone who likes their steaks cooked to well done is clearly evil.
