Chinese steakhouses use the same fraction (fēn shú) system as Taiwan. Traditional Chinese cooking rarely serves beef in 'steak' format — the doneness vocabulary exists primarily for Western-influenced dining. For hot pot preparations, 'doneness' is controlled by dip time (typically 8-10 seconds), making formal doneness terminology irrelevant.

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