Broiling is a great way to cook tender cuts of meat, such as steaks, chops and patties. Less-tender cuts broil best if they're marinated first.
- Choose a meat cut good for broiling from the timetable.
- Position the oven so the meat will be the recommended distance from the heat. Set the oven to broil. Remove any excess fat before cooking to avoid flare-ups.
- To broil: Place meat on the rack in the broiler pan. (For easy cleanup, line the pan with aluminum foil first.)
- Broil the meat for about half the recommended time or until it's brown on one side.
- Turn the meat and continue broiling until it's done to your liking.
