A steak should be cooked how the person you are cooking it for likes it, you should always ask how the person likes their steak cooking. Some people like their steak rare, some medium and some well done.
Cooking a steak too rare is rare, but it can be unsafe to eat if not cooked properly.
An under cooked steak.
The steak is more cooked through than very rare (please view "When cooking a steak what is considered very rare?"). The steak is cooked till it is still red and cool inside but, by cooking it so that the inside temperature rises to 120 allows the steak to have some flavor.
The ideal temperature for a perfectly cooked steak is typically around 130-135F for medium-rare, 140-145F for medium, and 160F for well-done.
Example sentence - The waiter asked if I wanted my steak cooked rare or medium rare.
Ronald Reagan liked his steaks well-done. I doubt that he hated rare steak, since he knew it could be cooked.
it means when it is well cooked and pink in side :)
The steak can be rare, medium or well-done. The eggs can be "up" (sunnyside up), "over" scrambled or poached. For example, you would simply say: "The steak medium rare, and the eggs over, please".
No, a medium rare steak is not raw. It is cooked to an internal temperature of 130-135F (54-57C), resulting in a warm red center.
That is the correct spelling of the adjective "rare" (uncommon, or a lightly-cooked steak).
Undercooked steak will appear pink or red in the center and may be soft or mushy to the touch. To tell if it is not cooked properly, you can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The steak should reach at least 145F for medium rare and 160F for medium.
As the meat is ground up, it is more subject to bacteria as it is pushed through the grinder. With the bacteria in the meat, if the hamburger is not cooked thoroughly a person could get sick from the harmful bacteria that enter the human's digestive tract. However beef steak is not ground up, it is simply cut from the carcass and wrapped, which implies that a steak should be cooked well on the outside, but in the inside it is perfectly fine if it is cooked rare to medium rare.
