  Position the top rack of your Whirlpool electric range about 4 to 5 inches from the top of the oven. Remove the steak from the refrigerator. Trim excess fat from the steak before broiling, to prevent smoke from splattering grease. Slit the remaining fat to prevent curling on the edges. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Use extra steak seasonings if you want a spicier-tasting steak.

  Line the bottom of the broiler pan with aluminum foil before broiling for easier cleaning. Place the seasoned steak directly on grid in the broiler pan provided with the Whirlpool range. Before broiling, position the rack according to the broiling chart. Steak requires placing the rack at position four.
