Yes, there are ways to check the internal temperature of meat without a thermometer. One way is to use your hand. You can touch the meat with your finger and compare it to the following chart:

- Rare: Touch your index finger to your thumb and press the fleshy part of your palm below your thumb. That’s what rare feels like.
- Medium-rare: Touch your middle finger to your thumb and press the fleshy part of your palm below your thumb. That’s what medium-rare feels like.
- Medium: Touch your ring finger to your thumb and press the fleshy part of your palm below your thumb. That’s what medium feels like.
- Well-done: Touch your pinky finger to your thumb and press the fleshy part of your palm below your thumb. That’s what well-done feels like.

Another way is to use a cake tester or toothpick. Insert it into the center of the steak for 5 seconds then remove it and touch it to your lip or wrist. If it feels warm, it's rare; if it's hot, it's medium; if it's very hot, it's well-done.

I hope this helps!
