A Visual Reference – How Do You Like Your Steak Finished?

A perfectly cooked steak has a seared, dark brown crust and a tender, juicy interior. Use a meat thermometer everytime. Remove the steak from the grill about 5°F prior to it reaching its desired temperature. The steak will cook on the plate for 5 minutes while resting.

Here are some important internal temperatures for steak finishes.

Rare: 125°-130° F

Medium-Rare: 130°-135° F

Medium: 140°-145° F

Medium-Well: 150° F

Well Done: 160° F+
