Here is the trick to make sure yours is cooked to your temp:
You simply push your finger on the steak while it’s in the pan. Assess how soft the meat is with your finger and compare it to your hand like so:

As you are cooking the steak, the meat becomes more firm and you can compare the firmness of the meat to that of the same spot on your hand as you touch your thumb and various fingers together. This is all you need to know to get your steak off in time!
