A rare steak is cooked for a very short duration, typically less than 3 minutes per side, to achieve an internal temperature of around 120°F to 130°F (49°C to 54°C). This means that the steak is cooked to a temperature that's slightly warmer than room temperature, but still retains a significant amount of its natural red color.
When dining out, you can ask your server to prepare your steak "rare," which will usually result in a medium-rare to medium steak. If you want an even rarer steak, you can specify "very rare" or "extra rare." Some restaurants may have their own terminology or terminology-specific preparation methods, so feel free to ask your server for clarification.
Now that you know the basics of a rare steak, go ahead and treat yourself to a culinary adventure!
