Assorted Marinated Prime Steaks — Cooking Guide

About This Product

An assortment of USDA Prime steaks marinated in-house — ready straight for the grill or pan.

How to Cook It

Pan-Seared (Recommended)

  1. Remove from the fridge 30–40 minutes before cooking and pat dry.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat until just smoking; sear 2–3 minutes per side to build a deep crust.
  3. Reduce heat and cook to your target temperature, flipping occasionally.
  4. Rest 5–7 minutes tented with foil, then slice against the grain.

Grilling

  1. Preheat grill to high and sear 2–3 minutes per side over direct heat.
  2. Move to indirect heat and finish cooking to your target temperature.
  3. Rest 5–7 minutes before serving.

Doneness & Internal Temperature

Doneness Internal Temp Description
Rare 46–49°C / 115–120°F Very red, cool center
Medium Rare 49–52°C / 120–125°F Red, warm center
Medium 54–57°C / 130–135°F Pink center
Medium Well 60–63°C / 140–145°F Slightly pink center
Well Done 66–68°C / 150–155°F Cooked throughout

Use a digital meat thermometer, and pull the meat a few degrees before your target — it will continue to rise while resting. Note: Rare, Medium Rare, and Medium all fall below Health Canada's minimum recommended internal temperature of 63°C/145°F for whole cuts of beef; cook to at least Medium Well if you prefer to meet that guideline.

Chef's Tip

Since the marinade adds sugar and oil, watch the heat closely to avoid flare-ups or scorching before the crust forms.
