For how long do you cook your steak on each side to make sure is medium well?

There are too many factors which change cooking time, it's difficult to say. My personal rule is 1 minute per 1 cm thickness of steak. 3 cm steak 3 minutes each side , 2 cm thick steak 2 minutes. However this depends on pan and fire source. More important is leaving the steak covered with a little bit butter in 80-90 C hot baking oven for 10-15 minutes. Thick steaks need this back oven treatment.
Finger rule works as well.

Most chefs use the press test to feel how the steaks progressing. As it goes through each stage it'll feel firmer

I would never cook a steak long enough to ruin it as medium well. Medium rare is my choice, and that depends on the thickness of the steak, about 2-3 minutes each side.

That depends on way too many other factors to say- the thickness of the cut? On a grill? How hot? In Cast Iron?

Ah, the art of cooking a steak to perfect medium well! It's all about the thickness of the meat, but here's a little guideline I swear by. For a steak about 1 inch thick, I’d cook it on a properly heated grill or pan for about 4-5 minutes each side. This should get you that lovely medium well, where it’s mostly cooked but with a hint of pink in the center. Remember, letting it rest for a few minutes before slicing is the secret sauce to a juicy steak! 😋🥩 Always use a meat thermometer to nail it every time. It's a game-changer, trust me!

I don’t like medium well that’s hard as a rock. It’s dry. You don’t see any pink. It’s chewy. It’s absolutely destroying the steak. I like medium rare.

I like mine cooked medium rare so a 1 inch steak on the grill for 4 minutes each side with indirect heat. Steak is on middle grill with 2 side burners on but not the one under the steak

I cook my steak 🥩 about 5-6 minutes on each side

Medium heat

Does it turn medium well or well done?

[jahaims]

It depends on how you are cooking it and what kind of cut it is.

You don't. You cook Med-rare or medium.

I like my steaks well done, not medium.
