We love to grill up steaks in the summer (or in the winter) and learning how to cook a perfect Porterhouse Steak was something I had wanted to master for years. I’ve also discovered that Flat Iron Steak is amazing when done in the slow cooker!

Temperature Guidelines for Cooking Beef
A quick read meat thermometer is your best friend when you are cooking beef! Not only do you need to know what temperature your roast is to ensure the best possible meat for dinner, you also have to make sure that you cook ground beef to 165 °F for food safety sake. We adore our ThermaPen and have two! Make sure to invest in a good thermometer and you’ll never ruin a roast beef again!
Beef Roasting Internal Temperatures
Blue in the middle– 110 degrees – when the middle of the roast still “quivers”
Rare- 120-125 degrees in the middle
Medium-rare– 125- 135 degrees in the middle
Medium – 135- 140 degrees in the middle. You usually don’t want it cooked this much as you lose the tenderness that prime rib is known for.
Medium Well-140- 150
Well-done– 155 +
