Helpful hints
- For a lower protein diet reduce portion to match your meal plan or check with the dietitian to determine portion size.
- Use this guide for cooking times: medium rare, 145° F internal temperature, 20 to 30 minutes per pound; medium, 160° F internal temperature, 30 to 35 minutes per pound; well done, 170° F internal temperature, 35 to 40 minutes per pound.
