HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY
AUSTRALIAN BEEF IS COOKED?
Australian Beef can be served from rare to well-
done, depending on your taste. You can test for
doneness by simply prodding the beef with your
finger. When it has a springy but firm texture
and is moderately juicy, the beef is done. The
firmer the feel of the meat, the more well-done
it is. For rare, it’ll feel very soft. For medium, it’ll
feel a little firmer. If you like your meat well-
done, it’ll feel very firm.
A meat thermometer, which can be purchased
from most homeware stores, is the best for
determining the doneness of a roast. Insert the
thermometer at the start
of cooking, leaving it in
throughout. When the
estimated time is up,
check the thermometer.
