Doneness of steak:
Take one hand and hold it up loosely. With the other hand, squeeze the thick part (the pad) of the thumb to get the feeling of rare steak.

Bring your index finger to your thumb to make a circle. With the other hand, squeeze the thumb pad again - that is the feeling of a steak that is medium done.

Bring your middle finger to your thumb to make a circle - squeeze the thumb pad again with your other hand to get the feeling of well done steak.
