What does a typical steak weigh?

It varies by cut: a filet mignon is typically 170-225g (6-8 oz), a ribeye 280-450g (10-16 oz), and a T-bone 340-680g (12-24 oz). Restaurant portions are usually 225-340g (8-12 oz).

Can it identify the cut of steak?

The AI identifies the object and provides a weight estimate. It may identify the general type of meat, but for precise cut identification, the weight result is the primary focus.

Does steak weight affect cooking time?

Yes, significantly. A 225g steak needs about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, while a 450g steak needs 6-7 minutes. Knowing the weight helps you cook it perfectly.

How much steak should I serve per person?

A standard main-course portion is 225-340 g (8-12 oz) of raw steak per adult, which shrinks by about 20% once cooked. For a bone-in cut like a T-bone, plan on more since the bone adds weight you will not eat.

Steak Cut Weights and Cooking Times

Every cut runs to a different size, and weight drives both your macros and how long it needs on the heat. Match your steak to the closest cut below.

Cut	Typical portion	Weight	Time/side (med-rare)
Filet mignon	6-8 oz	170-225 g	4-5 min
Sirloin	8-10 oz	225-285 g	5-6 min
Ribeye	10-16 oz	285-450 g	6-7 min
New York strip	10-12 oz	285-340 g	5-6 min
T-bone	12-24 oz	340-680 g	6-8 min
Flank	8-12 oz	225-340 g	4-5 min

Times assume a 1-inch thick cut seared on a hot grill or pan. Thicker steaks need longer or a finish in the oven.

Weigh Any Cut of Steak from a Photo

From a delicate filet mignon to a massive tomahawk ribeye, steak portions vary widely. Our AI analyzes the cut, thickness, and size of your steak in the photo to deliver an accurate weight estimate. This is invaluable for calculating cooking times and nutritional values.

Why Steak Weight Matters for Cooking

The weight of your steak directly determines the optimal cooking time and temperature. A thin 170-gram filet needs far less time on the grill than a 450-gram ribeye. Knowing the weight before you cook helps you achieve the perfect doneness every time, whether you prefer rare, medium, or well done.

Portion Sizes and Serving Guide

Planning a dinner? A generous main-course serving is 225 to 340 grams of raw steak per person, dropping about a fifth in weight once cooked. Use the cut chart above to buy the right total weight, and remember that bone-in cuts like the T-bone include weight you will leave on the plate.
