No. It is all the same. A well done steak will be easier to digest as the proteins and fats will be broken down further.
1-1/4" for grilling medium rare sirloin cooked more done will be tough. Good idea to let the steak get to room temperature prior to grilling, this will ensure a more medium and less rare center (pink not raw).
no because you can eat steak raw but it has to be fresh, but it wont seriously harm you.

There are several ways to cook/prepare a steak. It all depends on your taste and how well you'd like it cooked from rare to well done. If you like it to be red or pink inside you would like it rare. If you don't want any blood, then well done. The longer you cook it, the less blood.
How many times have you asked for a medium rare steak and ended up with either a rare or well done piece of meat? Knowing the full definition of the types of steak will mean you are more likely to get what you want – or at least what you ordered. -Step 1: Very rare or bleu If you like your steak to be basically uncooked – cold in the middle and barely browned on the outside, then this is for you. Ask for very rare and you’ll get bloody. -Step 2: Rare Most rare steak is cool inside. It will be very red and bloody, while the outside will be brown and hot. If you like rare meat, but not cold meat, this is what you want. -Step 3: Medium rare If you want some raw to your steak, but you still want it hot throughout, this is your choice, the inside will still be pink, but it will be hot, as will the outside. The steak will be firm. -Step 4: Medium well This will be very hot throughout, with possibly a tinge of red. The outside will be brown and the steak will be firm. This is a good choice if you like yours well cooked, but not burnt. -Step 5: Well This steak will have no trace of pink or red inside. It will be brown throughout, and will be very firm to the touch. If you hate the thought of eating pink meat, this is the one for you. Not all restaurants will follow these rules, but a good steak restaurant should. If they bring you something you don’t like, ask them to start again, specifying what you are expecting the steak to be like. Tell them you want a trace of pink, or you like it kicking, and you might get something more to your taste.
it means when it is well cooked and pink in side :)
A medium steak is a type of cooking preparation. It should have a thick band of light pink through the middle but it should be more brown than pink. The sides should have a rich brown color and the top and bottom charred darkly (but no black). Its middle part should also be firm. Hope this one helps.
make sure you have a little butter on the pan and cook the steak, then cut it up and continue to cook until you see no pink
To a great degree this is a subjective idea. If you cannot tolerate any steak that has any pink in it whatsoever, then any steak that is medium or rare will be undercooked to you. On the other hand, there are limits. A person who enjoys a steak rare will not likely enjoy bellying up to a slab of meat fresh from the butcher. Good cooks get a sense of what diners want when they order steaks well done, medium or rare, and most of the time everything works out agreeably.
Generally speaking, the term "well done" refers to the degree to which a piece of meat is cooked prior to consumption -- most often referenced when grilling beef steaks. Although there are some variation in the scale: "rare" "medium rare" "medium" "medium well" and "well done" - the choice generally refers to the level of red to pink retained in the internal meat. A steak that is "well done" is thoroughly cooked through so that no pink remains.
The time will vary depending on the cooking method and the thickness of the steak. A normal steak cut is about 3/4 of an inch thick and on average, the cooking temp on a grill is 300-350of. With these, an average of about 8 minutes per side will leave a bit of red in the center. To be safe, check it a bit early by cutting a small slice in the middle of the steak. ________________________________________________________________________ If you choose to use a cooking thermometer a steak is considered to be cooked medium if the internal temperature raises to 135-140 degrees F. The color of the steak is pink throughout and holds a firm texture. A medium cooked steak is where the inside of the steak looses its red color and moves into a pink color
Usually people prefer steak when it is pink in the middle but steak is NEVER ready when it is blue/purple inside. You can also have meat when it is brownish in the inside.
