How long to cook a steak in the broiler?

I want to cook these filet Mignon steaks in the oven on broil. I've never done that before so I want to know if anyone knows how long should they be in there for if I want them to come out medium to med. rare? Are you suppose to put the rack on the very top?

Also, It's been so long since I made baked potatoes, but what temp and how long to make baked potatoes? I know stupid question, but whatever. Serious answers please. Thanks

    For the steak, preheat at broil, and make sure the rack is on the top

    For Med-Rare, about 20 minutes flipping over in 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak, if they are over an inch thick, this could take a little longer.

    If you are baking potatoes, this usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, but you could put them in before you could your steak, and leave them in while the steaks are broiling. Make sure you puncture them with a fork several times, and wrap in foil

    Hope this helps

    For broiling the steaks:

    Preheat the oven to broil. You should broil your steaks for 20-25 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 375. You can either wrap the potatoes in foil and just cut them open and place them on the rack (I prefer foil). Bake them for 30 minutes.
