Beef Doneness - Ontario Beef

Regardless of how you like your meat done, the key to perfectly cooked beef is a meat thermometer. If you have one, get ready to get a lot of use out of it. If you don’t, put it on your wish list – there are lots of options available at virtually every price point.

Once you have your thermometer…on with the show!

The following information outlines the cooking time and temperatures to achieve your desired doneness for a number of different cuts and cooking methods.

Note: The grilling times listed above were thoroughly tested. The timing depends on a few variables such as the cut of steak, type of barbecue used, temperature of barbecue and weather.

Cook’s Note: Enjoy prime rib or top sirloin cooked to any doneness. Other roasts should not be cooked beyond medium for best results.
