Default Ok- I'm sold

Cooking a steak is possible in an Iron Skillet. Heat a skillet till smoking- a bit of olive oil and 4 minutes per side = medium rare. Perfect. I don't know if I will ever go back to a grill. It.was.perfect.

Sounds like something I should try out- I do have some cast-iron in the kitchen.

I will never, ever give up my grill, though. Particle Man is right- you need to surrender that card.

I use that method sometimes.
If I want a steak on a week night (before work) and don't have time to dick with charcoal and the whole setup, I'll use this.

Hell, I have deer steak on a regular basis without ever firing up the grill or having to use a skillet. I just marinate them as they thaw, then throw them on the Foreman for 5 minutes and it works like a charm.

Used to do the Foreman thing, but it was one of the old ones and the grill surface finish wore off.
Thought about getting one of the new ones with the removable grill plates, but apartment kitchens have little room for storing kitchen gadgets

That is the exact skillet I used. Heat the skillet,a small amount of olive oil on the steak and 4 minutes per side. Wife had bought aged rib eyes and I just wanted to try it out. We also made some goat cheese/sun dried tomato/caper butter to go on them. Really easy and great flavor. Of course,sea salt and cracked pepper on the steak. Let steak come to room temp. Etc....

You brush the oil on the steak, or pour it on the skillet first?

If your cast iron is seasoned right you don't need the oil for the beef steak.

Although a lite rub of olive oil on the steak helps the coriander and peppercorn adhere without peircing the meat.

I always use bacon fat for deer meat. It's so lean and the little bit of fat really helps it stay juicy.
