The steak is cooked?

Was it an improper translation?

In my language it was originally meaning that the steak is fully cooked to 100%, rather than 30%, 50%, 70%, but the English translation was simply "The steak is cooked".

In English, when I say "the food is cooked" does it already mean it is fully cooked well? If I would like to say like steak, sometimes people eat raw, how to express that? Any example?
