it rests, so remove steaks from the pan about 5 to
10 degrees before reaching your desired doneness.

example, if you desire a medium doneness steak,
remove it from the pan at 145 degrees F and it
should rise to 150-155 degrees F as it rests. The
USDA recommends cooking steaks to at least 145
degrees.
