If the temp of the meat is in the safe zone it is not undercooked. I shoot for 135F. What temp do you like?If only you grilled that a little longer, it would be so gooooood. :tsk:

I like my steaks how I like my women............with a nice juicy warm pink center. Count me in towards the medium rare crowd.

Interesting discussion so far. I've already mentioned my preferences. I prefer the texture, tenderness and flavor better at rare to med rare. For those who prefer steaks medium well or well done, what is it that makes that your preference?
