You may be wondering how to tell if a steak is cooked correctly, and whether or not you should cut into it. Use a metal cake tester to check for doneness. Place the skewer in the middle of the meat. Wait five seconds. If the meat is still cold, it's likely that it is raw. Medium-rare is indicated by a warm skewer or a lukewarm skewer. Hot kebabs indicate that the skewer is well-done.
Touching your steak is the first way to know if it is ready. Place your palm flat and make an OK sign. Your forefinger should be against the meat. If the meat feels firm, it is raw. If the meat feels like a soft pad it's probably medium-rare. For the ultimate test, use the middle finger of your hand to gently press against the top of the meat. Next, place your thumb on the tip of your middle fingers.
Second, you need to feel the meat. Medium-rare steaks should feel tender to the touch, while well-done steaks should feel firm. Make a fist with your thumb or forefinger to determine if the steak has reached the desired temperature. The fleshy area between the two fingers is soft and will be firm when the meat is cooked properly. The third step is to tighten your fist. A well-done steak should be firm, but not too tender.
Next, use your hands and check the steak. The inside of a steak is done when it is fully cooked. A medium-rare cut of steak is one that has reached 150 degrees F. Place a piece paper on top and press against the grain to do this.
Third, use a meat thermometer. This method is reliable and can be used when a steak is very hard. A meat thermometer must be firm and with very little tension. A well-done meat will be dark in color. You can also use it to find out how rare a steak is, depending on your taste. Use the tips to determine if your beef is cooked.
120 degrees Fahrenheit is a good internal temperature for a steak. It's cooked when it reaches this temperature. A well-done steak will be grey-brown and have charred edges. When it's cooked to this temperature, it's safe to eat but still not overcooked. Cooking medium-rare cuts is a good idea.
