What internal temperature should I cook steak to?

Question

Accepted Answer

For medium-rare, pull at 130F and rest for 5 minutes (carryover cooking raises it to 135F). Medium is 140F pull, 145F final. Well-done is 155F pull, 160F final. A wireless thermometer takes all the guesswork out of hitting these numbers perfectly.
