How do you know when asking for a medium rare steak, if the meat is actually raw or fully cooked through?

MrMystery:

I'm asking because I can never tell the difference and it gets me sick a lot

A medium-rare steak is typically cooked to an internal temperature of about 130-135°F (54-57°C). Here are some ways to ensure it's cooked properly: 1. **Use a Meat Thermometer:** This is the most accurate method. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak without touching bone or fat. Once it reads 130-135°F (54-57°C), your steak is medium-rare. 2. **Touch Test:** With practice, you can estimate doneness by touch. A medium-rare steak should feel like the flesh between your thumb and forefinger when your hand is relaxed. 3. **Visual Inspection:** A medium-rare steak should have a warm, red center. The exterior should be well-browned. 4. **Timing:** While not as precise, timing can be a guide. For a 1-inch thick steak, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side over high heat typically achieves medium-rare. Always let your steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute. This helps achieve the perfect medium-rare texture.
