Each person may have a different preference for meat doneness. Therefore, finding the perfect level of doneness that suits everyone will enhance their enjoyment of the meal. The answer to this can be found in this article, where we delve into the various levels of meat doneness and how they impact the flavor and texture of your steak experience.
How many levels of doneness are there?
The doneness depends on the level of cooking. For meat, it can be divided into 5 levels of doneness as follows:
1. Rare
The outside of the meat is brown, but the inside still retains a pinkish-red color in over 75% of the meat. It takes about 4 minutes at a temperature of 30-51°C.
2. Medium Rare
The meat is medium-rare, with the outside being brown and the inside beginning to turn a brownish-gray, while the center remains pinkish-red. This level of doneness is highly popular and takes about 5 minutes at a temperature of 57-63°C.
3. Medium
The outside and more than 80% of the inside of the meat will be brown, with only a slight pink color remaining. It takes about 6-7 minutes at a temperature of 63-58°C.
4. Medium Well Done
The outside and nearly 100% of the inside of the meat will be brown, with only the innermost part remaining slightly pink. The meat will still retain its juiciness. It takes about 7-8 minutes at a temperature of 72-76°C.
5. Well Done
The meat, both inside and outside, will be entirely brown with no pink remaining. The moisture content or juiciness of the meat will be reduced. It takes about 9-10 minutes at a temperature above 76°C.
