Aim to cook your steak to a medium-rare to medium-well doneness during the cooking process; much longer and you’ll be left with a tough piece of meat. Making careful to turn it every minute or so will ensure that you get a good even cook. After cooking, allow it to rest for a few minutes before rubbing it with a little extra virgin olive oil or butter for a delicious, juicy steak.
How long does it take to cook a steak at 125 degrees?
For a rare steak, remove the steak from the fire when it reaches 125°F, which will take around six minutes total cooking time. To get a medium-rare steak, cook the steak until it reaches 130°F, which will take around eight minutes total cooking time. For a medium-rare steak, 140°F is the ideal temperature after nine to ten minutes of cooking time.
