Recipes Tips
If you want to make sure your steak is perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, the temperature should be around 130°F (54°C). Also, make sure to let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing them. This will help the juices redistribute and make the steak more tender.
