well. My old man was a chef. He taught me. To poke it with your finger. It should be very springy.. like spring back.. sponge-ee
Nothing worse then buying a nice expensive steak and over cooking it. Yuk.  
that probably wont help you tho. If you've never done it.

That's the thing  - I've cooked Filets and Strip Sirloins hundreds of times. 60% of the time, I get it right.  But, 40% of the time, one or two end up under cooked or over cooked.  If they are under cooked, you cut into it and lose all of the juices - dries out when you put it back on the grill. And, just one minute can cause it to over cook.  I have one meat thermometer so the one with the thermometer in it will be perfect.  But, the other 7 - just hoping and praying, I suppose.
