How to cook steak medium-well done without turning grey?!?

I like my steak medium-well done (dark brown on outside, yet pink in the middle). When I try to do this on my frying pan I only cook my steak for the required time but it always ends up grey all over! What am I supposed to do to get it pink on the inside and dark on the outside?How to cook steak medium-well done without turning grey?!?
Im afraid you might be confused as to what you want, wide pink stripe in the middle is medium.very thin stripe if any of pink would be medium well.


follow the directions for medium and see if you prefer the results.


other things that might help are....


start with a hot pan.


don't cover the pan with a lid.


remove from the pan immediately to a cool plate and allow to set a few minutes before cutting,as meat will continue to cook after removal and cutting it while very hot will cause the loss of juices nessesary for flavor.


ive included a couple sites for you to check out.

How to cook steak medium-well done without turning grey?!?
Place 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Bring steak(s) to room temperature.





When oven reaches temperature, remove pan and place on range over high heat. Coat steak lightly with oil and season both sides with a generous pinch of salt. Grind on black pepper to taste.





Immediately place steak in the middle of hot, dry pan. Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds, then put the pan straight into the oven for 3 minutes. Flip steak and cook for another 3 minutes. (This time is for medium steaks.)





Remove steak from pan, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes. Serve whole or slice thin and fan onto plate.






medium well means gray.





you want i medium or medium rare if you want it red still.





Medium well is suppose to be gray. well is a dark gray. medium is a little pink, medium rare is a lot pink/red, and rare is red.





You want to get a meat thermometer and check the temp. It will tell you what is rare, medium, well, and in between.
