The internal temperature of a rare steak is between 120–130°F (49–54°C).
Here's a more detailed breakdown of steak doneness temperatures:
| Steak Doneness | Temperature (°F) | Temperature (°C) |
|---|---|---|
| Rare Steak | 120–130°F | 49–54°C |
| Medium Rare Steak | 130–135°F | 54–57°C |
| Medium Steak | 135–145°F | 57–63°C |
| Medium Well Steak | 145–155°F | 63–68°C |
Using a reliable meat thermometer is crucial to achieving the desired level of doneness. Remember to allow the steak to rest after cooking, as the internal temperature will continue to rise slightly.
