† 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.)
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference for doneness will affect broiling
times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.
