A Field Guide to FlavorEating a good steak is a breezy task, but ordering one you want to eat can be tricky. Learn more about meat doneness with Groupon’s exploration of steak temperatures.Raw: Uncooked, steak is red, soft, and somewhat spongy. Although this isnt a particularly popular way to eat, say, a T-bone, raw beef is key in ground steak tartare and thin-sliced carpaccio.Seared, Blue Rare, Very Rare, or Blood Rare: Any of these terms will get you meat thats cooked very quickly so that the outside is seared, but the inside remains red and barely warmed.Rare: Rare means lightly charred on the outside, browned around the edges, red in the middle, and slightly warm throughout. Given that any steakhouse can pull this off, whats so rare about the style? In fact, nothing. “Rare,” as in uncommon, is derived straightforwardly from the Latin rara, whereas “rare,” as in meat, has an Old English source, and means only undercooked. Before the late 18th century, the word was applied primarily to underdone eggs.Medium Rare: If you refuse to tell your waiter how you want your steak, medium-rare is likely what youll get. Expect a steak that’s charred on the outside, browned around the edges, fully pink and warm in the center with just a hint of red.Medium: As things heat up, the center of a medium steak becomes hot and light pink; the rest is mostly browned. Medium Well: Only a hint of pink remains in the center of a steak cooked medium well.Well Done: A well-done steak is uniformly browned throughout. It should feel solid to the touch, unless its plated on a bed of Jello. If youre curious how your steak has been cooked before biting in—and you dont have a meat thermometer in your pocket—you can use your hands. Raw steak feels approximately as soft as the fleshy part of your palm below the base of your thumb when your hand is relaxed. Now press the tip of your index
