Technically? Yes.
Would we recommend it? Not exactly.
At Creamery Creek, we believe in letting great beef speak for itself, and when you’re working with dry-aged steak, a little pink goes a long way. A well-done steak (160°F+) has no red or pink left, and most of the natural juiciness is gone too.
Hey, I'm not here to judge. Just to guide.
Our Take: Medium-Well Is the Sweet Spot
If you’re someone who really doesn’t like pink, medium-well (150–155°F) might be your happy place. It’s still cooked through, but not dried out. With a careful reverse sear and a watchful eye on your thermometer, you can land in that golden zone of tenderness and doneness.
Quick Tips for Higher Doneness:
-
Choose a well-marbled cut (like ribeye or sirloin)
-
Use a meat thermometer. Guessing leads to disappointment
-
Let it rest 5–10 minutes to keep what juices are left where they belong
-
Don’t skip the sear! It’s where the flavor lives
Final:
You paid for quality. Don’t be afraid of a little pink.
If you’re committed to well-done? Do it well, with patience, heat control, and a great cut of beef.
XOXO,
Louisa
