"Medium well" is a term used to describe the doneness of cooked meat, particularly beef. When a steak is cooked to medium well, it is typically browned on the outside and has a warm, slightly pink center. The internal temperature for medium well is usually around 150-160°F (65-71°C). This level of doneness is often preferred by those who enjoy a firmer texture and less juiciness compared to medium or medium rare. While some flavor and moisture are retained, the meat is cooked more thoroughly, resulting in a less tender bite. Many diners choose medium well for its balance between flavor and doneness.
