Do the same with your thumb and second finger. - medium rare
Thumb and third finger - medium
Thumb and pinkie - well done
It's an ahem "rule of thumb" but it generally works well.

I have a system where i use a timer when i'm BBQing a steak. I BBQ on high heat for 2-3 minutes a side depending on thickness. Never had an under or overcooked steak using this method.
