I almost never cook for myself. Id like to cook a delicious rib eye steak tomorrow. I have a gas range with two power burners, one regular burner and one simmer burner. I have a Lodge cast iron pan and a Calaphon stainless steel pan. Everytime I try to make burgers or a steak I end up filling the house with smoke and setting the smoke detectors off. I live in a tiny raised ranch so basically the whole house fills with smoke.

Which pan on which burner and what heat high medium low should I use? What should I use on the pan for non stick? Butter? If so how much? How long should I leave the ribeye on for medium cooked? I like a nice sear crust on the outside.

Most importantly how do I accomplish this without setting off the smoke detectors?

Get a Blackstone and griddle it in the Garage with the garage door open or outside. A Blackstone, house seasoning, and avocado oil make steak taste amazing.

Unless you've got a baller range hood, cook outside or take the batteries out of your smoke detector. For best results use fire.

I have the same issue is a small apartment. What I do is reverse sear in the oven. You'll need a probe thermometer, put it in the steak and place it on a baking tray in the oven at 250. Pull it out at 120, get the cast iron pan hot with some grapeseed oil (high smoke point) and give it a quick sear on both sides. It's still going to make smoke, but it's the best way to minimize it.

This is literally my second Sous Vide steak. I did the cast iron pan thing so I understand. Smoked the entire house up. LOL!

I cooked 2 steaks tonight for the first time (got one for Christmas). Didn't smoke or sink up the house.

Came out a little more well than I like but still good flavor and not a hockey Puck.

Fryer had a setting for steak

This. Your cheap hood, or even worse over-range microwave is worthless for venting.

Just scorch cast iron and sear outside.

Interesting.  It never dawned on me to use my solo stove and grill from the weber to do this.  Now I have to try it.

Inside, two real options.

Sous Vide. Torch it in a cast iron pan to sear.

Cast iron pan cook. Depends on your stove, but I go almost full tilt on my best burner (one burner is meant to be extra hot on my stove). You want the pan just shy of 500°F. Avocado oil. Highest smoke point oil you can get. Sear that bitch. Once seared, drop temp and cook steak to doneness you desire.

What you're asking for is possible, with some practice, but difficult to balance; smoke vs good sear.

The easiest way I call a NYC steak (illegal in Texas).  Even the shitiest kitchen should be able to brown a steak.  Basically fry a steak in oil or cook in the oven at about 450 (just below smoke temp).
The trick is to fry/brown the surface without boiling, steaming or releasing liquid.
Keep the pan hot enough to brown the meat but not smoke (425-450).  If the temperature drops, immediately remove the meat, place in a drip rack away from the heat,  and reheat the pan.
Ideally 2 - 3 minutes of browning per side.  Rest and fry, repeat until rare, deglaze the  pan and drag meat through hot pan drippings/glaze.  Deglaze with marinade, wine, stock or steak sauce.  A sweet sauce or sugar at the end aids in browning.

Also open windows and clean your hood.

I've cooked on our grill when it's -20 out.


Propane? That's even worse.

Take your microwave out from above your stove, and throw it in the garbage.  I stall a GOOD range hood and vent it properly.

Or boil the fucking thing!

First step is you cover it in mayo and ketchup. Throw it in the microwave for 5 minutes. Take it out and feed it to your dog.

It takes some practice and experimentation to get the temperature and timing down, but once you do you can make some pretty great steaks.

Take the smoke detector down and open some windows.

Years ago I had a great idea that I could finish my steak in the electric oven on the hottest temp.... 475...... or CLEANING MODE


I did a quick sear then put it in the oven on the clean setting.  First house, never used an oven that had a cleaning setting.  Set a timer, all was good.  It was smoking some as I expected.  Timer went off and opened the dooo...... oh wait the door was locked because of the cleaning mode.  I learned within about 45 seconds how a butter knife can defeat an oven lock.   Steak was really good

You called it, Genesis e310 grates and Solo stove bonfire. I smoked it on my WSM to 125 internal, let rest for 10 minutes and tossed it on the fire. Best steak I've ever made.

So. I have options that I use to cook steak, feel free to use any of these ideas. But I have a weber charcoal grill, if I don't want to wait for the charcoal to burn out, then I have a Weber grill to grill the steak on, if I want a little smokey flavor to the grill but want the convenience of being table to "shut it off after" I have a pellet grill, if I just need a quick sear, there's also a 30k BTU outdoor burner, that I throw a grill grate over, or use my cast iron skillet on. Basically USE ANY OUTDOOR TOOL.

But yes, indoor, you may be able to get by using avacado oil on a stainless steel or high carbon skillet, on med-high, the trick is to get the pan hot enough to sear, but not hotter than your smoke point of the oil you choose.
