Only reason I ask is because, while this looks a nice perfect rosy pink to me, there is no discernible band of darker pink in the middle. Either way this is what I would call my preferred doneness.
Dry brined a few hrs ahead of time. Seared in smoking hot cast iron pan, flipping every 60 seconds. Pulled at internal temp of 115F and let rest for about 10-15 min (other things were going on, generally I would typically rest for 5-7min).
Unfortunately no crust shot, which is a pity because it was beautiful.

Somewhere between
Medium rare, still some softness to the muscle fibers
“Delicious” and would then proceed to gobble it down!

Super solid Medium rare… No doubt. Not close to medium, not close to rare… you have reached perfection. Nice technique… now give it to me to deal with your fortune.

Med rare. Looks perfect tho
Temperature that was reached once removed from heat is what is important… That said, your Steak looks perfectly med-rare
Closer to medium than medium rare, but pretty uniform through out.
More interested in what the outside looked like. If the crust is solid, that’s an overall damned fine finished product.

Medium rare. Still some deeper red/pink in there whereas medium would be a lighter pink.
Medium, I think med rare is a bit more vibrant pink than this. Likely in between though. Either way great temp
That’s medium
Definitely perfect medium rare

That’s the perfect med rare for me. Just bordering on med rare plus. 👍👍
Medium for sure.

Medium-rare with an improper sear which resulted in the thick brown ring.
Possible sear issues:
* meat was wet prior to searing
* meat was not rotated frequently enough resulting in steaming
* sear was not hot enough

That is medium-medium rare & it is perfect.

Can’t really tell by eye but given the temp readings it definitely sounds like it’s at the low end of mid rare, tops.
Seriously? Medium rare
Medium rare/ rare.

That’s medium rare could bordline medium but it’s a little to red to me for medium
