Went out today and purchased a cast iron pan, heated it up in the stove, added a steak, a couple peices of hickory and my mouth tasted heaven.

I thought you would like that! Even the fat on the steak crisped up and was delicious. I'm outside enjoying the 35 deg temps sitting by the fire.

I think I bought that about 10+ years ago.... I think at the home depot or maybe lowes. I'm thinking is an Englander, but can't quite remember. Csx, I wish! Thats the border, and theres hasn't been a train through in decades. You should see the trees growing out of the racks. I think those tracks were used with mining. I'll post pics sometime. Feel better zap.
Well I went out back....
The trail from the yard in:
From the tracks:

Cast iron is the only way I cook a ribeye also. Can't be beat. Looks great
Porter House / T-Bone are fine for the grill.

The jotul heats the house perfectly, especially due to the open concept. Although when its below 20, I have to stay on top of it.

Pen, agreed. This has opened a whole new door to wood burning and cooking. I have some burgers on my mind.

HehHeh . . . you sound a lot like me . . . just steak and potato is all I need . . . I usually add veggies when cooking for both the wife and myself.

Veggies are usually an afterthought.
Love a good steak with a salad though. New York strip is my favorite.
Pre-seasoned pan? I buy 'em at garage sales for a few bucks and re-season.
I shouldn't read these threads........now I'm hungry.

You inspired me
On my way home I swung by the store and picked up some rib eyes, dug out my cast iron pan from my camping supplies, put in a little olive oil, salted and peppered the steak and voila -- in less than 6 minutes I had some of the best steak I have ever eaten . . . along with a garden salad and some cheddar and broccoli pasta.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Nice Jake!! How was the fat on the edge??? Didi you get it crispy enough while maintaining a pink center??? It was like glorified bacon I tell Ya. Nice pics. I may have to make another special run to the foodstore for some more. ;-)

These are the best steak-in-stove pics I've ever seen. So tell me, do you establish a deep bed of coals, flatten them out and preheat the pan on coals until it is glowing, then add steak? We don't pan fry steak so this is weird but I assume you must flip the steak at some point to sear the back side. Does the steak end up boiling in its juices or does it fry in a pretty dry pan.
I gotta say Jake, I would not have bought that particular steak but intstead looked for one with more meat like Backwoods found.

I had a bed of coals, went out and split some hickory into small pieces, let them ignite, turned down the air, and put the pan in, in 2 minutes, I rubbed salt & pepper on the steaks and a dab of olive oil, placed into the pan, only needed maybe 3 minutes, flipped steak, another 3 minutes, and it was a perfect medium steak. Wear super hand protection when removing pan, it will burn through any oven mitt in seconds.
