What You Need to Know
When you order a steak, you’re not just choosing the cut you’re also choosing how you want it cooked. The doneness level of a steak plays a major role in its flavor, juiciness, and texture, and understanding these levels can make your dining experience even more enjoyable. At Cutt & Grill, our chefs prepare each cut with precision to suit your exact preference.
A steak cooked rare will have a cool red center, soft texture, and an almost buttery tenderness that allows you to savor the pure, natural taste of premium beef. Moving one step further, medium rare, the most popular choice among steak lovers, offers a warm red center that’s juicy and flavorful, striking the perfect balance between tenderness and taste. For those who enjoy a slightly firmer bite while still keeping moisture intact, medium doneness provides a warm pink center and a balanced texture.
From rare to well done, each level tells a story of heat, flavor, and texture.
If you prefer a steak with more density and less pink, medium well is a great option. This level of doneness results in a steak that is mostly cooked through, with just a hint of pink at the center, giving it a heartier, more robust flavor. Finally, well-done steaks are fully cooked from edge to center, with no pink remaining. They are firm, rich, and bold ideal for those who like their steak thoroughly done with a charred character.
No matter which level you choose, there is no right or wrong it all comes down to personal preference. Many seasoned diners often recommend medium rare for the best expression of a quality cut, but ultimately, the perfect steak is the one cooked exactly how you enjoy it. At Cutt & Grill, our mission is to deliver that perfection every time you dine with us.
