It’s the classic trick of using your own hand to understand how soft the meat should be done for rare, medium are, medium, medium well and well done.

All you have to do is gently press down on the steak and you’ll quickly be able to tell just how cooked it is.

It’s a cool little hack and one that should help to ensure you get your steak cooked to your preference every time.
