A well-done steak is a type of cooked beef that has been grilled or seared until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) or higher. This cooking method results in a firm texture and a brown exterior, with little to no pink remaining in the center. Many people enjoy well-done steak for its robust flavor and the assurance that it is fully cooked. While some steak enthusiasts prefer their meat cooked to lower temperatures, well-done steak is often chosen for safety reasons, especially when serving to those who may be more vulnerable to foodborne illnesses. Common cuts for well-done preparation include sirloin, ribeye, and filet mignon.
