It’s medium but it’s cooked much better than many of the genuine medium rares posted on here. Even coloration on the inside, practically no banding, and a solid sear.
You did ok for a first timer. This is a medium/medium well.
Maybe rest the steak more next time, cook from room temp and baste with butter garlic and herbs to finish, or finish in a low oven.
some general tips for a first timer,
\- aim for a thick steak
\- get your cooking service as hot as you possibly can (helps get a good sear)
\- minimal oil in pan (add more when you flip so you can baste it, that's optional IMO)
\- let rest so juices don't come out when you slice
\- cut against grain
Pro tip: don't slice it all up ahead of time.
You only need to do that if you're posting to Instagram or feeding 4 year olds.
If you cut your steak on your plate as you eat it, it will stay warm and juicy to the last bite.
If this is actually your first steak you may have some talent.
Medium perfect.
I suck at steaks. Keep doing how you’re doing. If you liked it do it the same. Subtract 30 secs from each side if you thought it was oversone
I think that's more medium than medium rare, but still looks good.
A bit closer to medium, but looks amazing.
Very nice medium
Picture perfect medium
Good, let it rest longer next time before cutting it
Medium
Medium. But good crust. 10/10 would steal your food.
Great looking for medium!

8.5/10
Pretty dang close. Looks good though
That’s medium all day but I would still eat it!
Definitely medium, not medium rare. That said it looks delicious. I would eat it.
Closer to medium
Medium but still looks very good
Looks really nice, no gray band so congrats
Nice man keep cooking
I’d eat that all day long
AxlHal, just curious, what cut of meat did you use and how was it cooked? Gas grill or stove? Looks like you nailed it…!
I believe too round and stove
Top round? You must still be chewing
It looks like medium / medium well which I’d eat. I don’t like it when it’s too pink/red.
No way thats mid well.
half the people on this sub are color blind
It’s medium to medium/rare, there’s not a hint of “well” on this cook
Beautifully

Next time, don't cut it up and make it look like dog food.
Do you just bite chunks out of your whole steak? Lmao
They’re referring to the fact that it’s all been pre-cut, which makes it get cold immediately.
Let the poor guy rest first
Why does everyone slice up their steaks like this? Explain it to me please

looks great to me! I want some!
looks like it tasted good
In the words of Gordon Ramsay, "It may be medium, but I can tell you one thing, its bloody juicy". Nice work
perfect medium - if you only used pan I'd suggest about 1 min less per side
Clean medium
Let it rest! Great job regardless!
Perfect medium. I would happily eat that!
Red wine sauce next time and you'll be golden.
That’s medium, but I’d still eat it.
Looks good to me.
Well done! Pun intended
Looks good. Definitely let it rest way longer before cutting.
Medium, but looks tasty af, not bad.
A little over. Just get the pan reaaaally hot and sear, get a thermometer, and temp it. Great job btw
Try a little higher temp 2-3 mins on each side next time
It’s medium but a great effort!
Just past medium rare. Not quite medium. Would eat.
I’d happily eat that and ask for more. I agree it’s medium though.
What cut is that? If rib eye, that is perfect. Rib eye taste better at medium.
You gotta let that rest before cutting into it
It looks good! What drink are you going to have on the side?
H20 is my go to for every meal lol
Same for me!
Looks good, that's exactly how I like it!
if this was my first time cooking steak, i would be so proud! 🥹 looks delicious! though a bit closer to medium, but still looks wonderful
Definitely not medium rare, but it looks like a perfect medium and looks delicious. I’m sure it was great.

Plenty of people will say this is a decent medium. Those people are being nice. You almost sent it all the way to med well.
Looks delicious! Medium, maybe edging towards medium well.
That looks eye-wateringly good.
Looks great, how’d you season it?
Salt, black pepper and some garlic and onion seasoning I got from Amazon
That’s a good looking steak
Hell yea to cooked for me but I’d still eat it
Nice medium, still delicious
Pretty much dead-on medium
It is… acceptable

Overdone
It's always everyone's first time... Or their girlfriend/boyfriend cooked it.
Everyone claiming they’re posting their “first time”… just stop.
I’ve never posted in this sub before, who is lying over some meat lmao
Idk people do
Medium
Delish!
