But first, some definitionsâ¦. Medium rare steak is officially defined as steak cooked to an internal temperature of 135 degrees. 130 degrees will get you a rare steak, which isnât a bad choice if youâre dining on a gourmet steak from a quality steakhouse or ordered from Chicago Steak Company.
Cook steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees for medium-rare, or 160 degrees for well-done. Measure this by inserting an instant-read thermometer horizontally from the side of the steak to the center. Or make a small slit near the center of the steak and check the color of the meat.
