Notes

Follow the temperature chart below and continue to grill your steaks to reach your desired internal temperature. (Note that your steaks will continue to cook off heat as they rest.) Rest your steaks for 10 minutes after removing from the grill.

  • For Rare, stop cooking at 120-130 F. After resting for 10 minutes, the meat will be red inside.
  • For Medium Rare, stop cooking at 130-135 F. After resting, the meat will be pink inside.
  • For Medium, stop cooking at 135-145 F. After resting, the meat will have some pink and brown color.
  • For Well Done, stop cooking at 145-155 F. After resting, the meat will be mostly brown.
  • For Very Well Done, stop cooking at 155-165 F. After resting, the meat will be completely brown with no pink.
