Cook a Perfect Steak

Workout Tips

Check doneness by pressing a steak in the center, says Steven Raichlen, author of The Barbecue! Bible. Then use your thumb, fingers, and the varying firmness of the base of your thumb as your guide.

Index Finger: Rare
Internal temp: 125ºF
Soft and squishy, like a pink sponge

Middle Finger: Medium Rare
Internal temp: 145ºF
Firm but yielding, like a Nerf football

Ring Finger: Medium
Internal temp: 160ºF
Barely yielding, like a racquetball

Pinky Finger: Well
Internal temp: 170ºF
Hard yet springy, like a tennis ball
