It’s in minutes…3, 5, 7.
7 minutes is well done - qi fen zhong.
Or you could say well done , ‘quan shou’
全熟

You’ve heard of Google, yeah? There are several threads on Reddit etc. about this very thing. And nowadays ChatGPT works too.

They probably say it differently in China in that case.

I thought it was fractions. 1/10, 3/10, 5/10, 7/10. But I could be mistaken.

This is what I got from typing your exact question into ChatGPT. I don’t see any difference between this and what @marasan kindly bothered to type out, but if there is it should be fixable by specifying “traditional Chinese (Taiwan)” in the prompt.

Is that is like ‘well done’ in the non steak cooking context?
I think its 全熟 in china too.
I always say 七分鐘 didn’t realise it was actually七分熟
Well maybe it is , I assumed it was minutes.

Correct, we don’t say ‘shu’ in Taiwan. It’s important to check with local people like us.

As others have said and confirmed already, 全熟.
Only addig that teeth quality inherent is generally poor and tastes differ. You need to follow up, wih eye contact, and say more than just 全熟 to actually get 全熟. I like to add a really, before the 全熟. If the person is under 40 and probably somewhat blank maybe even a very 全熟. You know you’re OK when hey repeat back the order and they mention 全熟.
Same with everything out kfhe norm. For example sauce. I don’t like eating food in basically soup level amounts of sauce. Saying a little sauce. Then you get a bucket load. Need to say a little, then really very little. And confirm, just a tiny bit. My habit is repeating everything important 3 times because listening ability and comprehension isn’t exactly a strong skill set here.
If it’s a place I frequent (ie. They recognize me and won’t Cum in my food) I ask them very very politely, with a slight apology, can you take it back and cook it. It’s a pain, they don’t like redoing it because it’s going to uck up the blind and also he dish. But I find sacrificing a meal once so they nlknow not to ignore the order going forward.
Likely you need to retrain the next/new employees everytime there is turnover. Worth it if you like going to the same places frequently.

Usually from what I see is fen means more ot less unit. Not actual minute. Fen is an annoying one as it has so much utility, but t needs to be described further to be clear. Like sugar at tea shops, hey also day fen based on fractions/percentages.
Hen he variables and the metal type, oils, hear, cook, meat etc. Easier to say very well done and add in, no pink!
