The best way to test for doneness is by inserting an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak.
Do this through the side, not the top of the steak to check for Steak Doneness:
- Rare – 120F, cool to warm red center
- Medium Rare – 130F, Warm red center
- Medium – 140F, Hot pink center
- Medium Well – 150F, Mostly brown center
- Well Done – 160F, full brown in color
