GET READY

Use a broiler pan with rack or heavy foil-lined rimmed baking sheet with rack (NOTE: you can use a layer of vegetables instead of a rack for an easy all-in-one dinner –see recipe).
Move oven-rack to top position, about 3 inches from broiler element.
Preheat broiler element to red hot. NOTE: Consult oven manufacturer’s directions to see if the oven door should be left ajar.
Start with 1-inch thick Beef Grilling Steak.
Trim and/or slash edges of steak so it won’t curl when cooking. Pat dry; drizzle with a bit of canola oil; season all over with salt and pepper.

BROILING

Place steak on pan rack (or on layer of vegetables). Place under broiler and cook until meat has browned nicely on one side, about 6 to 7 minutes.
Turn with tongs and brown on the other side about 5 minutes.

FINISHING

Test doneness with a digital instant-read thermometer, 140ºF (60ºC) for medium-rare or 155ºF (68ºC) for medium doneness.
Remove steak from pan and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 to 10 minutes to allow juices to settle.

Myth Buster

MYTH:

Bring steaks to room temperature before grilling.

TRUTH:

By the time the steak is warm in the centre, the surface of the steak has been at room temperature long enough for food safety risk.

Tips for Broiling

Turn beef with tongs. Using tongs instead of a meat fork avoids losing tasty juice when turning your meat.
All steaks are sorted into 3 BASIC COOKING CATEGORIES so you know that you’re buying and how to cook it: Choose from GRILLING, MARINATING and SIMMERING. Always pick GRILLING steaks for the broiling method.
Turn on the stove exhaust fan or prop the kitchen door or window open to avoid setting off the smoke detector.
Use the Toast Test to determine where your broiler hot spots are: spread a single layer of slice of white bread out on a baking sheet. Place under a preheated broiler and toast. The hot spots are where you see the most toasting – you want to place your steak in the hot spot for broiling.
