South African Braai culture defaults to Medium for premium cuts (Eye Fillet, Sirloin, Rump). The Class A grading system supports this — younger grain-fed cattle produce tender results at Medium-Rare. Boerewors and lamb chops typically cooked Medium-Well. The Yellow Fat preference means SA Braai practitioners are MORE comfortable with longer cooking than US grilling tradition because the rendering fat is the flavor goal.

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