Steak Timer
A ready-to-go timer for steak. A pan-seared steak often takes 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness; use a meat thermometer (about 135°F/57°C for medium-rare) rather than time alone for best results.

How long should I use for steak?
A pan-seared steak often takes 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness; use a meat thermometer (about 135°F/57°C for medium-rare) rather than time alone for best results.
Is this a food-safety guarantee?
No. Cooking times vary by size, starting temperature, altitude and equipment. For meat, poultry and eggs, use a food thermometer to confirm safe internal temperature rather than relying on time alone.
