The size, weight,
thickness, starting
temperature and
your preference of
doneness will affect
broiling times. This
guide is based on
meats at refrigerator
temperature.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture says “Rare beef
is popular, but you should
know that cooking it to only
140°F means some food
poisoning organisms may
survive.” (Source: Safe Food
Book. Your Kitchen Guide.
