Notes
Internal temperature for beef steak
The best way to determine the doneness of your steak is by using a meat thermometer. Everyone has their preferred level of doneness when it comes to their steak. Here are the general guidelines for the internal temperatures for different levels of doneness:
Rare: 120-125°F (49-51°C)
Medium rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
Medium well: 150-155°F (66-68°C)
Well done: 160°F+ (71°C+) If you are cooking at 385F/185C, you can follow these cooking times as a guide to achieve the perfect internal temperature. If you are cooking at a higher temperature, then reduce the suggested cooking times by a minute or two. Also, removing the steak from the oven is safe when it is about 5 degrees less than the desired doneness. It will continue to cook and rise in temperature while resting. Rare: 6-7 minutes in the oven
