Traditional Belarusian cuisine defaults to Dobra prazhanae (well done), especially for Machanka and boiled beef dishes. Modern Minsk steakhouses use English terms. The GOST-era term 'Сярэдняй пражарки' (medium-roasted) is preserved in older butcher and restaurant signage.

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