Grill Steak to Perfection Using Your Sporting Gear Knowledge
Posted at 20:11, 30/04/2008 by LoriDeschene
Did you know your hand is the perfect meat thermometer? According to The Barbecue Bible author Steven Raichlen, grilling steak to perfection is as simple as judging the firmness with your forefinger and thumb—and relating it to the different textures of balls.
Rare: At 125°F, it should feel squishy, like a sponge.
Medium Rare: At 145°F, it should feel firm but yielding, like a Nerf football.
Medium: At 160°F, it should barely yield, like a racquetball.
Well-Done: At 170°F, it should be hard yet springy, like a tennis ball.
