How long does it take to cook a sirloin steak?
Regarding grilling steaks, the cooking time is a matter of personal preference. And rather than time, you must rely on the internal temperature for precision. Here is the temperature chart for you:
Level of Doneness | Description | Fahrenheit (°F) | Celsius (°C) |
---|---|---|---|
Rare | Cool red center | 125°F | 52°C |
Medium Rare | Warm red center | 135°F | 57°C |
Medium | Warm pink center | 145°F | 63°C |
Medium Well | Slightly pink center | 150°F | 66°C |
Well Done | Little or no pink | 160°F | 71°C |
Chef's pro tip
Allow your cuts to come to room temperature for a perfect steak before cooking. Take them out of the fridge 15-20 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking, preventing the center from remaining undercooked while the exterior sears. Additionally, a meat thermometer will help you consistently achieve the desired results. Trust us, it's a valuable tool to have in the kitchen!
