My parents brought a four pack of ribeyes from Costco – all different sizes. Managed to pull off a reverse sear and get them all to about the same cook – but would you say this is medium rare?

    Looks more like medium to me but still looks great!

    Light pink throughout with little to no blood/juice is perfectly medium actually, and it looks delicious!

  3. This is a perfect medium, said as someone who loves medium

    Camera shots can be deceiving. Looks closer to medium, but definitely a nice cook on them! Nice job!

  5. Looks closer to medium, but could well be the lighting. It’s very close. But I would say 100% would eat it. The only thing is none of them look like ribeyes though

  6. Medium rare could be a brighter red but these still look good

    It’s hard to gauge based on a photo. Depending on lighting and the camera, I can make the same steak look medium well or medium rare. Go by actual temp and taste moreso than look.

    That being said, I’d eat the hell out of that! Looks delicious to me.

    That’s a perfect medium. While I prefer medium rare, I would enjoy eating this medium as there is not too much gray band.

    I think so. Medium would have a bit larger greyband

    You’re over thinking it don’t be so prescriptive about definitions that’s a friggin beautiful meal God bless

  11. It doesn’t matter at all how you cooked your steak as long as that’s the way you enjoy it. Mid rare is the easiest point to cook a steak to. As soon as you see blood on the surface of the meat it’s time to flip it. I’ve cooked thousands of steaks over the years and this is an almost foolproof hack.

    This is the problem with this sub. Everyone thinks medium and medium rare look differently. Even when OP says it’s med rare temp everyone says “well must be the thermometer”. This looks like med rare all day to me. And the temp would agree

    That’s about as close to medium rare as you can get.

    Looks like a good medium to me, cooked right

    As everyone has said it looks like a perfect medium, and looks utterly delicious.

    This is a more perfect medium. I would be glad to get this in a restaurant if I ordered MR. I would eat it.

    Perfect medium, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with a perfect medium
