The Healthiest Way of Cooking Lima Beans. To cook lima beans, place them in a pot and add three cups of fresh water or broth for each cup of dried beans. The liquid should be about one to two inches above the top of the beans. Bring the beans to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, partially covering the pot. Lima beans generally take about 45 minutes to become tender when cooking this way. Lima beans may produce a lot of foam during cooking.

However, according to foodsafety.gov, beef, lamb, and pork should be cooked to at least 145Â° (or above, if desired). Ground meat must be cooked to at least 160 F. Ground poultry must be cooked to at least 165 F. Fully cooked hams should be heated to at least 140 F.
The Meat Temperature and Doneness Chart has beef steak cooked medium rare at 135F. Meat will continue to cook after it is off of the heat so I like to roast my steak to about 125F and pull the meat off the grill to rest.
