How to tell your steak is cooked

You can use palm of your hand to help determine how your steak is cooked. Gently bringing together your index finger and thumb, and pressing the mound on your palm below the thumb will feel similar pressing a raw steak; the middle finger and thumb is like medium rare; and onwards to the pinky will feel like a well-done steak.

Glossary
