NOTE
Broiling times may be affected by the size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of doneness.
This guide is based on meats at refrigerated temperatures.
NOTE
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. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
