How to Judge a Steaks Doneness
There is an art to determining when your steak, lamb chop, or cutlet is cooked to the correct
degree of doneness – rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, or well done. However, it is
easily mastered, using this handy hints and tips.
rare: Cook for a few minutes per side, depending on thickness. Turn once only. Cook until
steak feels very soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature
of a rare steak as 55-60°C.
medium rare: Cook one side until moisture is just visible on top surface. Turn once only.
Cook on the other side until surface moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium rare,
when it feels soft with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature
of a medium rare steak as 60-65°C.
medium: Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn once only. Cook se-
cond side until moisture is visible. Steak will be cooked to medium when it feels springy with
back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium steak as
65-70°C.
medium well: Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook second
side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
firm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a medium
well steak as 70-75°C.
well Done: Cook one side until moisture is pooling on top surface. Turn and cook second
side until moisture is pooling on top. Reduce heat slightly and continue to cook until steak feels
very firm with back of tongs. A meat thermometer will show the internal temperature of a well
done steak as 75-85°C.
