The way I learned to check a steak.
Pinch the thick meaty part of your left hand (webbing) between your thumb and index finger. Relax your hand and pinch with your right. This is rare. Now spread your left hand wide and pinch, this is med-rare. Now make a fist with your left hand and poke it with your finger, this is well done.
After a while you'll learn how a steak is cooked simply by the way it feels. It's all about trial and error, but it's a good thing to learn how to do.
