I pull mine at 120 to sear and usually end up just under 130 after resting.

This is the correct answer. Did some just last night.

I always thought that older people preferring well done steaks had more to do with food safety than age. Old folks grew up in a time where cooking food well done was necessary.

Steak temp preference


Anywhere from Pittsburgh rare to medium rare depending on the cut and my mood.

Wow, 135 is full medium going towards med well in my book,


135 is textbook medium rare... that's why I sous vide at 129ish and then sear. It's going to come up a few degrees during the sear.

I actually prefer medium but I'm happy with medium rare also. If I'm ordering a steak at a restaurant I will order medium rare, assuming they're going to overcook it and it comes out medium. If it comes out medium rare it's fine.

I always reverse sear my steaks on the BGE.


The reverse sear also helps break down the fat slowly, so that after you hit it with the high heat and get a little char on the fat, it is buttery soft.

Yet no one elses.

I like to pull at about 122 and that is what I call med rare, and fillets and strips I like at 122
122 is either below or right at the beginning of rare which goes all the way to 130ish. 132 is my sous vide temp for medium rare.

bullshite, there is very little consistency in steak doneness charts and they are all over the place, which is why I said “in my book”

But this is from cooks illustrated

steak:
Cook Steak To Serve Steak At
Rare 115-120 degrees 125 degrees
Medium-Rare 120-125 degrees 130 degrees
Medium 130-135 degrees 140 d

I realize you can pull a hundred charts to support your claim and that is fine , but to say no one else does or for the other yahoo who claimed I was an idiot, that is just bullshite

Back on topic, I feel we should use a n objective range of internal temp to grade our steak doneness vs obscure subjective labels that are so widely varied

To be fair, I said you were stupid, not an idiot. And that was wrong of me because

At the end of the day cook and eat your steak how you like it and call it whatever you want
