The "black" is the exterior, which is charred or quickly seared over high heat. The "blue" is the interior, which is nearly raw (picture chopped steak tartare for a good idea of texture). It's definitely an acquired taste, and it's not really a great showcase for the chef's talent.

I was pissing after one of his quotes that he never cooked for cowboys, but he's fucked them. Or something like that. Much more funny when he said it. And, Dale's "Why I should be the Top Chef" speech clearly kicked everyone else's attempt out of the water. Brian's was shit, and I think that extra sunk him. I still want Casey to win, but I hope Dale squashes that terdface, Hung. Dale is fucking hysterical. I was pissing after one of his quotes that he never cooked for cowboys, but he’s fucked them.
