Have you ever wondered how well done is your steak? By using this trick you won't need anything else but your fingers to check how well done your steak is. First of all, make an okay sign with your hand and touch the base of your thumb. The feeling of tenderness in the base of your thumb is equivalent to when you have a rare steak. Next, touch your middle finger with your thumb, that feeling is the same to a medium rare steak. If you prefer not to see blood in your steak, a medium steak is just right for you. Touch your ring finger with your thumb then touch the base of your thumb, that is when your steak is medium. Lastly, if you  wanted to eat a well done steak just simply touch your little finger with your thumb to check if it is at that level.
