Rare is red, and has an almost translucent quality to it.
Medium rare is starting to turn pink with a bit of red in the middle.
Medium is pink and opaque. This looks medium to me, but not all restaurants define it the same way.
You might prefer medium well, which is usually starting to grey around the outside with a bit of pink in the middle.

This is medium rare. No red in it at all, only pink so it isn’t rare. I think of medium being a lighter pink than that, so medium rare. Probably on the medium side though.

Definitely not rare. The darker red (on the thicker portion of the steak) is a good reference for medium-rare, and the lighter portion is closer to medium.

Perfectly.

I think this is just past medium rare, but not quite medium

Probably with heat if I was guessing.

apparently 125-130 degrees F is rare, I was under the impression 135 was the right spot but it really depends how thick the cut is no? if you don’t have a meat thermometer they are about $12 on amazon get a digital one with a backlight, pretty much all of them have that, super helpful. I usually do 15-20 min on 425 then 3-4 min per side on a hot grill, everyone has their preferred method
that looks delicious im sure he appreciated someone taking the time to make him dinner

Perfect medium rare imo
sebastian_fl
I call it medium. Medium rare at least. there is no way it’s rare.

It’s medium rare. Not even close to medium don’t listen to the morons in this subreddit they have no clue wtf they’re talking about most of the time.

How can you achieve this?

Perfecttt!!!

Perfect medium I would say. A red colour with visible muscle fibers indicates medium to me. The sear area is as small as possible, which is ideal in my book. Maybe that is also why you believe this is rare, unlike the medium pictures on the internet.
For this to be medium rare, I would expect a small part of it to be smoother and not show any fibers.

Slightly more cooked than a perfect rare I’d say. Looks great though

Pretty good

Looks perfect and probably cooked using sous vide?

Probably in a pan, but it looks dry and a medium rare to medium.

In between medium and medium rare but looks closer to medium to me

I’d call that medium to medium-rare. Looks good!

Exquisitely. That is just perfect for me.

This is medium in a sous vide then reverse seared.
washed_king_jos
this looks medium rare, it has reacted with the air causing the redder look and the lighting is also making it look redder.

Depends on what the internal temperature was after resting
I declare it perfect and share my own to be judged. I say this is just beyond Medium Rare myself and your bf has made a steak with potential to give to the in-laws
