Steak Tips

Cooking with Wine

In addition to enhancing flavor, cooking with wine has a health benefit. To cut down on the amount of fat needed in some recipes, substitute wine for part of the amount of oil called for in the recipe. Always choose a good wine; if a wine doesn’t taste good when you drink it, it won’t taste good when you cook with it.

Steak Tips

Cooking Steak to Desired Doneness

A rare steak is pink throughout; it is cooked to an internal temperature of about 120 to 130 degrees F, and remains soft to the touch. A medium-rare steak is pink at the center and brown towards the very outer edges; it is cooked to an internal temperature between 130 and 135 degrees F. A medium steak is cooked to an internal temperature between 140 and 150 degrees. It is brown inside with a little pink at the innermost point. Medium-well cooked steaks are cooked between 155 and 165 degrees. They are firm with a hint of pink at the very center, although they are mostly brown inside. A well-done steak is cooked to at least 170 degrees. It is brown throughout and very firm.
