Broiling (Cont.)
Broiling Guide
Due to the variety of of meats and cuts available, you
may select alternate rack positions based on personal
preferences of doneness and external searing. For
optimal searing, preheat oven for 5-10 minutes.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and
your preference of doneness will affect broiling times.
This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

To avoid curling, slash fat at 1" intervals.
