What internal temp for steak

What internal temp for steak

The internal temperature for steak varies depending on the desired level of doneness:

Rare: 120-130°F (49-54°C)
Medium Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
Medium: 135-145°F (57-63°C)
Medium Well: 145-155°F (63-68°C)
Well Done: 160°F (71°C) and above

Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to ensure your steak reaches the desired internal temperature. It's essential to let the steak rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a juicy, flavorful result. Remember that the steak's temperature will continue to rise a few degrees while resting, so factor that into your cooking time.
