What's a KC strip?

Basically Kansas' version of NY Strip.

recipe?

Heat cast iron skillet to 400+ degrees in oven (broiler). Rub peanut oil on steak and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove skillet from oven and cook steak on each side for 30-45 seconds. After 30-45 seconds on second side place skillet and steak back in oven for 5-6 minutes.

Mmmmm sounds good!

Is this for rare? How long would I need to cook it for for it to be medium well? And how do you take care of a cast iron skillet?

<-- cooking n00b

I no longer cook using that method because I'm tired of the smoke it creates in the house. Nasty.

Seasoning / Cleaning / Care for Cast Iron

My Grill has cast iron grates. Don't have a skillet though... teflon and aluminum here.

Fascinating. But why is cast iron better than stainless steel or other metals? Is it because it's broil-able? Doesn't smoke and spattering get to be too much?

It's a much better heatsink than the others. It spreads the heat well throughout the bottom of the pan, so you don't get hot-spots. Also, it can get *really& hot, so you can get a good sear on what you're cooking.

Heat the skillet up on the grill then.
