Temp for "done to well-done" beef?
Meatatarian
Posts: 69
First of all, let me say that I like my steaks pretty rare, and most of the time if someone asked me to cook a well-done steak, I would throw a hamburger on the grill and burn it to a crisp for them. I'm planning on cooking a couple of flatirons tonight, and my mother-in-law musn't see a hint of pink in hers.
Thus, what is the minimum internal temp that will get rid of all pink? If possible, I'm hoping to cook it until there is no pink without turning it into a dried up piece of shoe leather. This will begin the weaning process from burnt food toward medium and then on to medium rare!
I'll be using the standard TRex method and hoping this will allow me to maintain some level of moisture in the meat.
So, has anybody ever measured the internal temp of an overcooked, partially burned flatiron?

140-rare
160-medium
170-well done -
i would take it off the egg just shy of 150 degrees and let the temps climb a bit on the counter. if its still not done enough nuke it for 30 seconds and check again. the nuke isnt going to ruin it, its already ruinedfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

this chart looks about right to me, i take steaks off at 125 to 127 if i catch it right and it rises in temp while resting to medium rare. this is assuming your trexing with the roast temps at 400 or a little higherfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

i should say that thats what i would do if i had a nuke. i hear thats what they do in resteruants with prime rib to keep them somewhat juicyfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

Gosh....you must be the best example of a son in law....lucky Mum.... :laugh:

prolly have to get to 160 to get rid of the pink..but even at 170 I find steaks on the egg to be very juicy and nice
-
Thanks, folks. I'll shoot for about 160 and hope the rest period will finish off any remaining pink. If that isn't burned enough, I'll go nuclear.

steak by candlelight can be served rare and none's the wiser.
