Medium-rare steak should reach an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C).
This produces a warm red center that's the preferred doneness for most steak lovers. For reference: rare is 120-125°F, medium is 135-145°F, medium-well is 145-155°F, and well-done is above 155°F.
Important tip: always let your steak rest for about 5 minutes after cooking. The internal temperature will rise approximately 5°F during this time, so remove it from heat a few degrees early.
