nope, for either you just throw some oregano on it and you won't get either

I like medium for steaks, and medium-well for burgers.

Research shows that the root cause of cancer is everything.

Actually, the active component in oregano is carvacrol. Wonderful isn't it? Carvacrol works best at high potency such as in oil of oregano.

Hamburgers: rare (most burger places make rare medium anyways) to medium rare
Steaks: rare to medium rare

I'll just add a touch of oregano to my steak tar tar and all will be fantastic!

Rare for steaks, mid rare for burgers (since they tend to fall apart at rare ;-))

Rare or medium-rare steak (depending on cut), medium rare burgers for me.

This ^

medium-rare to medium for me
