Ideal Temperatures for Steak Doneness
Your steak must reach the appropriate internal temperature depending on how well-done you want it.
- Rare: 120deg-125deg Whilst medium Rare is 130deg-135deg. Whilst medium Rare would be between 140deg-145deg Whilst medium Well would fall between 150deg-155deg
- Well Done: 165deg-160deg Whilst you should always remove your steak from the heat when its temperature has dropped 5 degrees short of your desired result, keep in mind that it will continue cooking even after being removed from the grill or pan.
Let’s examine each steak’s temperature more closely.
Rare Steak 120deg to125deg
A rare steak remains juicy and red due to only being partially cooked, making it safe to consume when the internal temperature reaches 120deg or lower. Once it reaches that mark, remove from oven and let rest for five minutes before continuing with any further steps.
Medium Rare Steak (130deg – 135deg)
A medium rare steak requires longer on the grill to achieve its trademark reddish center and dark pink edges, as well as its trademark soft texture. Since medium rare is one of the most sought-after steak levels, aim for between 130deg and 135deg for optimal results; remove it from the oven at 125deg, let it rest a moment, then cut into it.
Medium Steak: 140deg to 145deg
If you prefer tender and juicy steak without the taste of red meat, cooking it medium will yield your ideal steak without being dry or overdone. Aim for pink flesh that warms to the touch, with light pink edges. For medium-rare steak, remove from heat when it reaches 135deg; let rest before placing on table as this ensures perfect results without dry or overdone steaks!
Medium-Well Steak: 150deg-155deg
A medium-well steak should have only slight pink coloring in the center and no color around its edges, generally between 150deg-155deg on your pan or grill, and you should remove it as soon as the temperature reaches 145deg.
Well-Done Steak: 160 to 165deg
A well-done steak will not have pink color in the center as its center will spend most of its time exposed to heat. Stop cooking when your steak reaches 155deg as overcooking can result in dry or chewy texture – let it finish cooking off heat while you prepare dinner and you may be amazed how patient cooking yields juicy results!
