Internal Cooking Temps
If you are going to spend the money on a high end steak, but sure not to over cook it. There’s nothing worse than an over cooked, dry, tasteless steak. If you prefer well-done, save your money on a 5-star steak and buy a Select grade from your local grocer. Otherwise, it is most preferred and recommended to cook quality steaks to medium or medium-rare. The cook times will depend on the thickness of the steak and the temperature of your grill or cooking surface. In general, the following internal temps are our recommendations when cooking steaks from USDA Choice to USDA Prime.
Medium- Rare 145°F
Medium 160°F
Remember not to put your steaks on the grill cold. This will cause uneven cooking. It is always best to let steaks sit out 15- 20 minutes prior to putting them on the grill.
