Rule Of Thumb For Cooking A Steak

When cooking a steak I find this method works for the perfect steak. Pinch your thumb and index finger together then press the fleshy pad at the base of your thumb - this is the same as a steak when rare. Repeat but using the index finger for medium rare, ring finger for medium and little finger for well done. The fleshy pad will have the same 'give' as your preferred steak.
