That's pretty much what I do with my steaks (though I don't often make any sauce). I have a cast iron grill pan that does a good job searing, and then I'll finish cooking in the toaster oven if it's a little rare (I like it rare, not cold in the center).
I'd cook with fire, but fire codes for apartments have gotten so restrictive these days.

Here is one of my favorite recipes....a bit of work but worth it!!

Boneless Stuffed Chicken Leg Qtr. Stuffed with pork sausage and pistachios, wrapped in bacon, sealed and poached in boiling water then unwrapped and pan fried to crisp the bacon. The sauce is a reduction of the bacon fat, Chicken stock and Marsala Wine. OMG it's good!!

Minus the pistachios that sounds amazing. I'm sure it goes great with it, but I'm not a big fan of pistachios. I'll definitely being trying something like that sometime soon though cuz that does sound amazing.

Adeptus Minor- Usually I cook London Broil type steaks because there is three of us staying at our house for right now so it's easier to feed all of us with one of those. The only problem with that is that it's generally an inch to an inch and a half thick so in order to cook it enough cuz Dave and my friend like it more medium-medium well the outer part would be a little dry. Instead I wind up letting the pan heat up and then throwing a Tablespoon or two in to create steam which also deglazes the pan repeatedly making a nice juicy coating on the steak.

Sounds pretty good.
You really should work on those two so they can learn to eat steak the right way. That medium-well crap is ruining an otherwise good piece of meat.

I've worked my girl down from well done to medium well. Pretty soon I'll have her on medium

You are a good man sir. The first time Carolina and I were out with her and she ordered well done......no no no. LOL

Medium is just right for me. None of this rare stuff.

Funny story. I stayed with a good friend of mine a few years ago on one of my trips in North Carolina. He cooked steaks. Set mine and his wife's steak on the grill. He put his on the raililng of the desk. It was a nice sunny day. He goes to flip our steaks over, and also flips his over on the railing. When he took our steaks off the grill, he took his and threw it on the grill for 5 seconds on each side and ate it that way. *hurl*

It it's mooing, I'm sending it back!
