The SteakMate app is designed to help you cook the perfect steak – no matter how you like it. SteakMate is your best friend when barbecuing or pan-frying Beef steaks. It ensures you have a great eating experience every time and takes the guess work out of cooking Beef steaks.

SteakMate is easy to use, simply enter the Beef steak you are cooking, the cooking method you are using, the doneness you are after and the thickness of your steak and SteakMate will tell you exactly how to cook it – with handy prompts of when to turn your steak and when it has finished cooking and needs to rest.

Cooking for more than one? SteakMate has that covered with its queuing functionality, allowing you to add as many people to the queue so that everyone gets their steak cooked the way they like it. Got a favourite steak you like to cook? Why not add it to favourites list in SteakMate so that you are only ever one step away from cooking the perfect steak.

Not sure about what steaks to barbecue or pan-fry? SteakMate gives you a list of all the Beef steaks recommended for cooking this way as well as information about each of them – it also includes all the alternate names for the same steak.

Just downloaded it and played around with it. According to the app, medium rare steak is internal temperature of 60-65 degrees, and medium is 65-70. Wowsers!!! If Meat and Livestock Australia want people to eat well cooked, juicy and tender beef, they better fix those temperatures pronto.

It makes me wonder whether their time estimates are way overshooting the mark too.

Interesting, I can only surmise they have added the doneness temps from perceived Australian beef eating habits and not what it actually is.
Most people think a little bit of pink is rare, The APP makers know this and have just run with it??
Also most average BBQ,s out there are lacking in heat to sear so maybe they know that too.
If trees screamed when we cut them down, We wouldn't. If they screamed all the time we would.
