Traditional Thai beef is served either 'Sook' (well done, for soups/curries) or 'Sook-sook' (very well done, for street BBQ). Modern steakhouses in Bangkok use phonetic English borrows (Rae, Midiam). Cultural preference strongly favors well-cooked meat — Thai-Brahman local beef is lean and tough, producing tough rare steaks without marbling.

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