How to grill steaks indoors and cure burns.

THE STEAK

So last night we tried a method of cooking steaks that has gotten rave reviews.  The process is simple, easy and pretty fool-proof.  Here is what you do:

• Preheat oven and cast iron grill to 500 degrees F.
• Lightly coat the steaks with canola or olive oil. Salt/pepper (or other seasoning) to taste
• When the oven is hot, place cast iron grill on HOT stove.
• Sear each side of the steak for 30 seconds.
• Put cast iron grill directly in oven.  2 minutes each side for mem rare, 3 minutes each side for medium

The steaks come out juicy and tender: just the way we all like our meat!  Note that this recipe is great for making steaks in the medium rare to (maybe) medium well.  A steak well done may burn easily due to the high heat.  Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown

THE BURN

If you happen to burn you burn yourself in the process, like I may or may not have, here is a simple and effective way of treating it: Put some mustard on it like a hot dog and let it sit there for 30 min to an hour. When you wash it off, you shouldn't have much pain or blistering, although your skin may still be scarred. I thought it was pretty cool and it worked for me...I mean, IF I actually burned myself.
