Indoor Grilling (Pix)

No kidding. For the longest time, I've been wanting to try one of these Lodge cast iron grill pans. And I wanted to share with you my results and assessment. One could always use one of these outside on the Q too.









Me like! Of course, some of you, like Dyal, could get much nicer grill marks. I tried a small sample. I swear, I was reminded of a good quality steakhouse steak. {That steak was taken from a larger cut of London Broil). Anyway, I had another purpose for this meat-- a stroganoff/goulash, with fettucini, mushrooms, onions, sour cream, mustard, etc. What it may lack in purdiness, it more than makes up for in flaovr!--- Mmm Mmmmm.

I love a plate of good stroganoff!

Yum!!! Nice looking steak and that stroganoff looks great! Thanks for commenting on my skid marks.

And thank you, Dyal! Sometimes I cannot resist comfort foods. Soon I'm gonna have to do my turkey meatloaf with mashed taters and lotsa gravy/

beercuer,

I have one of these as well, use it all the time.. specially good for rainy days!


Ohh and try a panini on them, perfect!

Cool!-- I'm in good company, then. I see it could be used on the Q as well for veggies that would otherwise slip through the grates. Thanks for the tip on the paninis. I'd like to try that, as well as grilled cheese. Yum!

I have a nonstick grill pan and it is ok.
But I also have a cast iron panini pan with the heavy as f*** press you lay on the top of the sandwich and it is a favorite.

Askanison, I hear you. Ya know, the one thing I never understood about the nonstick cookware like grills, griddles or woks is that they are not designed to withstand the high temperatures used for searing and stir frying. The electric skillets are great for doing bacon and eggs though!

Looks like a nice, rich, hearty meal. Job well done, beercuer.

Well thank you for your kind words, Smokin'gal!

I really do enjoy the combination of flavors and textures.
