Broiling Steaks

1. Set oven regulator for broiling; preheat for 10 minutes. During broiling, the oven door for electric ranges should be left ajar; the oven door for gas ranges should remain closed. (However, consult owner’s manual for specific broiling guidelines.)

2. Place beef (straight from refrigerator) on rack of broiler pan. Season beef with herbs or spices, as desired. Position broiler pan so that surface of beef is within specified distance from the heat as indicated on chart.

3. Broil according to chart, turning once. After cooking, season beef with salt, if desired.
