Kenyan home cooking strongly defaults to well-done (Imeiva) due to the lean grass-fed Zebu profile — rare cooking produces tough results. Nyama Choma is roasted to medium internal but with significant char on exterior. Modern Nairobi steakhouses (Carnivore, Talisman) operate at international standards and serve through the full doneness spectrum, but local home and street food tradition is Imeiva or Karanga (long Wet Fry).

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