Pan Broil Meat

Pan broiling meat is an easy and fast way to cook a dinner. Another bonus is you only have one pan to clean once you are finished cooking the steak.

Steps

Select a tender cut of beef such as fillet mignon or top sirloin steak.
Select a steak that is not too thick so the meat will cook evenly.
Preheat the pan until it is very hot. Use a cast iron skillet or griddle for the best heat retention. There are special grill pans that would be perfect to use.
Do not add fat to the pan.
Add the steak to the hot pan and quickly brown it on both sides.
Reduce heat and cook until the steak is done the way you like it. Most cookbooks now recommend steaks be cooked medium rare to medium for food safety purposes. Allow about 6 minutes per side for a medium steak for a 1-inch steak. Add 2 minutes more per side for a well done steak.
Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve with a baked potato or french fries. A green salad would round out the meal nicely.
Bearnaise sauce is a nice accompaniment, if calories are not an issue.
