Steak - Well

Internal Temperature 170 or higher degrees F. (77 or higher degrees C.)

This steak should NOT be burnt on the outside. While there is not even the faintest hint of pink in the middle it should be browned through, not burnt through. This steak should feel solid all the way through.

A Well Done steak is the hardest to cook. The secret is to do it low and slow. It's the only way to prevent burning while getting it cooked through the middle. Grill this steak over a medium heat for between 10 and 12 minutes per side.

Most people will tell you that this is the steak for people who don't like steak. While there is some truth to that, it is a popular way to get a steak so any good grill needs to know how to do it.
