How do you like your steak?

Medium rare, if that.
As for sides: steamed veggies, rice, sauteed mushrooms and onions, etc.
I don't. Strict vegan.
With the price of beef being obscene lately, I can't tell you the last time I had one.
But if I do, it will be rare.

Cooked. Thoroughly cooked.
In fact, even if you think it is done, I want you to flip it and cook it again. Burn it if you need to, I just dont want my steak eating my sides before I get a chance to eat it myself..
That is just my personal preference, and it is the origin of many odd looks I get at steakhouses and restaurants like The Capital Grille. They once served me a Delmonico steak with creamed spinach and lobster mac and cheese, and by the time the plate got to my table, the steak had already eaten half of my creamed spinach. So they gave me another order and took the other one back.

Treat yourself. I got 2 steaks at the grocery store recently for $22... The same 2 steaks would have been around $12 a while back.... But I was in the mood for a steak so I splurged. They were damn good too.
Is that how you order it? Or do you just say "well done?"
I just say well done.
And if it is not right I will send it back.. politely of course..

I ("-cook-") my own steak on a !!!!!!!! HOT !!!!!!!!!! (as in "Kilauea's Madam Pele would be jealous") cast iron griddle, loaded with sizzling and quickly browning/burning butter, for about ....... that.... long on each side.
That is, if it is good quality, reasonably marbled, and of known providence (not 'mystery meat from Walmart).
Meanwhile, my wife's -SUPER WELL DONE damned near burnt cooked until the devil himself would think it is over done- steak has been in another skillet for twenty minutes. and turned over three or four times.
Lesser cuts of 'beef' may be subject to everything from a longer time over heat to being subjected to the absolute horrors of the Instant Pot pressure cooker for however long to render the meat of some old army mule more or less edible.

Hey! The Instant Pot is wonderful for making impossible things, like stew meat, wonderful!
Medium well.
