Steak doneness by internal temperature

Rare is 52°C / 125°F, medium-rare 57°C / 135°F, medium 63°C / 145°F, and well done 71°C / 160°F. Pull the steak about 2°C below your target, because it keeps cooking while it rests.

Rest it for five minutes under loose foil. This is not optional - cutting straight in loses the juices onto the board, and a rested steak of the same internal temperature simply eats better.

Preheat properly for beef, unlike everything else

For most food a preheat is optional. For steak and burgers it is the difference between a sear and a slow grey braise. Run the basket empty at maximum for 4-5 minutes before the meat goes in.

Pat the surface completely dry as well. A wet steak spends its first two minutes boiling off water instead of browning, and by the time it starts to colour the inside is already past medium.
