Pakistani home cooking universally produces well-done Bhains (Buffalo) results — Nihari simmers 12-18 hours, Karahi Gosht is wok-fried until deeply caramelized, Tala Hua Gosht is deep-fried until crispy. Bachhiya (young cow) at high-end Karachi steakhouses (BBQ Tonight, Kolachi, Karachi Boat Basin) is served at international standards (Medium-Rare to Medium). The cultural preference: Bachhiya Medium-Rare for premium experiences, Bhains Pakka (well-done) for everyday cooking. Pakistani Bihari Kebab specifically benefits from Bachhiya cooked Medium to retain the marinated tenderness. Karachi Nihari at dedicated shops produces the longest-cooked of all Nihari traditions (16-18 hours).

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
