Core reminders
- •Start checking elk medallions before the final target so you do not overshoot while waiting on the thermometer.
- •Probe the thickest part of elk medallions instead of trusting surface color or juices alone.
- •Use resting time as part of the plan, not as an afterthought.
Common misses for this checkpoint
- •Guessing doneness on elk medallions from color alone
- •Checking the edge instead of the center on elk medallions
- •Skipping rest time when the cut is thick enough to keep carrying over
