Let me try to explain this... on older stove/ovens the broiler is/was in the bottom drawer, but not anymore. In the recipe for the steaks, you are NOT broiling them you are baking them at 400 degrees on a broiling rack. The rack is usually a two part pan that has a drip pan on the bottom and the top part has ripples with hole in the indentations for the juices to drip into the drip pan.
The pan would look something like this:

If you were to broil the steaks
for about 8 minutes on each side for well done. you would have burnt shoe leather.
Hope this helped.
