Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I let my steak rest after cooking?
Let your steak rest for at least 5 minutes for thinner cuts (under 1.5 inches) and up to 10 minutes for thicker cuts. The temperature will rise 5-10°F during resting.
What is the best temperature for medium rare steak?
Pull the steak off heat at 130-132°F. After resting, it will reach a final temperature of about 135°F, which is the ideal medium rare.
Should I use a meat thermometer?
Yes. An instant-read meat thermometer is the most reliable way to check doneness. Insert it into the thickest part of the steak for the most accurate reading.
