The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking beef, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.
