Check for doneness. Using a digital instant-read meat thermometer, check the temperature of the steak while itâs still on the grill. Grill the steak to your desired taste: 130Â°F for rare, 135Â°F medium-rare, 145Â°F medium, 150Â°F medium well and 160Â°F for well done. Keep in mind that the steak will continue to cook a few degrees more when itâs removed from the grill.
