Definitely: NOT burned on the outside, but "gray" through to the inside. But still juicy, bot bloody.

Rare (classically, I understand) means cool inside, still juicy (bloody), and well-done means burned up outside.

Here is a good chart that shows different donenesses of steak with both pictures and temperatures.

I would like to correct a misconcepetion about meat. There is almost NO blood in red meat. Blood is hemoglobin and is found in arteries and veins. The red juice in meat is myoglobin. This is what stores energy in the muscle.
