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

Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the
food. Do not use more foil than necessary and
never entirely cover an oven rack with aluminum
foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2" from oven walls to
prevent poor heat circulation.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or
thick cuts of meat thoroughly without over-
browning them.
Touch the START pad.
When broiling is finished, touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
NOTE: Broil and self-clean settings will not work
