NZ dining defaults to Medium for grass-fed cuts like Sirloin and Rump because grass-fed beef toughens at higher temperatures more rapidly than grain-fed. Lower cooking temperatures (Medium-Rare to Medium) preserve juiciness in NZ beef. Eye Fillet is typically served Medium-Rare. Important note for US visitors: NZ grass-fed beef should be cooked at LOWER temperatures than equivalent USDA cuts to compensate for the leaner profile.

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