For a rare steak, you’ll want to cook it for about 3-4 minutes per side on high heat. The internal temperature should reach 125°F to 130°F. Remember to let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing into it to allow the juices to redistribute.
To achieve a medium rare steak, cook it for 4-5 minutes per side on high heat. The internal temperature should be between 130°F and 135°F. Rest the steak for a few minutes before serving to ensure maximum juiciness.
3. Medium Steak
For a medium steak, cook it for 5-6 minutes per side on medium-high heat. The internal temperature should reach 140°F to 145°F. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before cutting into it to retain the juices.
4. Medium Well Steak
A medium well steak will require about 6-7 minutes per side on medium heat. The internal temperature should be around 150°F to 155°F. Rest the steak for a few minutes before serving to lock in the flavors.
5. Well Done Steak
If you prefer a well-done steak, cook it for 8-10 minutes per side on low heat. The internal temperature should be at least 160°F. Keep in mind that cooking a steak well done may result in a tougher texture, so be sure to let it rest before slicing.
