Its time to cook, but for how long?

The answer depends on the level of doneness youre aiming for.

The FDA recommends cooking whole cuts of beef to an internal temperature of 145F.

Bone-in steak may take a little longer to reach temperature and will be rarest near the bone.

Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak to get an accurate reading.

I suggest checking the temperature after searing and again a couple minutes later to ensure it doesnt get overcooked.

Another method for checking doneness is thefinger touch test.
