Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We used an electric belt grill, a forced air convection oven, and an electric broiler to cook steaks from three beef muscles; outside round (biceps femoris), loin strip (longissimus lumborum) and eye round (semitendinosus). Belt grill cookery gave the fastest heat penetration into steaks regardless of temperature interval. Eye round had the slowest heat transfer rate for each cooking method perhaps partially explained by its fiber orientation. Heat penetration rate into outside round and loin strip was not different (P>0.05) for cooking method within a given temperature range. Heat penetration into muscles between 140 and 158°F was slowest because …
