Tips for Cooking Any Steak

 Turn your steak when the meat juices start to bubble up through the meat to the top of the steak.

 To test for doneness, press the meat with your finger. Rare meat will be soft and wobbly, medium will have a springy firmness and well done will feel very firm and unyielding. A steak will cook a little after you remove it from the grill or oven, so stop broiling when the steak tests slightly less done than desired.

For great results every time, use an instant read kitchen thermometer. Insert the thermometer in the thickest part of your steak, hamburger or chops away from any bone or marbling.

 Thermometer readings should be: 120°F to 125°F for rare; 130°F to 135°F. for medium rare and 140°F to 145°F for medium.

 Although steaks are optimum in flavor and texture when cooked to no more than medium doneness, some people prefer their steaks well done. The internal temperature for medium well steak is 155°F and well done 160°F. Keep in mind that overcooking causes greater shrinkage and decreased tenderness.

PORK: Internal Temperature:  160° F Minimum

Don't guess when the meat is done. Use a thermometer! You can order one today with your credit card for only $14.95 - shipped FREE  by USPS Priority Mail!  Average shipping time is ONLY 2 -3 days anywhere in the U.S. This thermometer is just like the one we use here at Jackson Frozen Food Locker.

IMPORTANT INFO:  A meats internal temperature will rise 5° F Minimum  after cooking. So, if you want your steak medium rare, take it out of the oven, or off the grill or skillet when its' internal temperature is 140 degrees.  Don't forget this or your meat may well be more done than you wanted!

Allow it to stand for 10 minutes, and dig in! The steak should be ideally cooked for medium rare then at 145° !

The BEST way to determine doneness of your beef is to use a high quality meat thermometer.  The following web page from the USDA tells everything you need to know about meat thermometers!

The ONLY way to know food has been cooked to a safe internal temperature is to use a meat thermometer!
