Exactly...use the broiler. S & P and garlic salt both sides.
6-7 mins on each side, been doing this for years...no smoke.

I don't like steak! Cook pork chops in my electric skillet on the back deck and my salmon fillets in the toaster oven also on the back deck. Works for me!

I used to broil steaks all the time. I did have some once in a while though. My fire alarm would sometimes go off

Now I use the tabletop grill (like a George Forman type of thing).

I like the pan method better. Steaks come better. Salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and ghee. I have a fan over my range that I put on. I also set up a floor fan in the foyer and open the kitchen window.

None of this alleviates smoke completely, but it does prevent the entire apartment from smelling like a seared steak for the rest of the evening. You will find that cleaning the pan, lid and stove top immediately after cooking helps reduce odors too.

If you do all this and really cant bare any odor at all, you can try boiling cinnamon sticks, cloves, anise seeds etc after you are done.

In the end, pan frying is the very best way to cook steak. I wouldnt give it up over a little odor in my kitchen.

I used to make steaks in the oven broiler when I had a gas range.

Now with electric, I pan-broil steak & take in & out of oven using Gordon Ramsey’s method. It’s actual pretty simple & produces a delicious steak every time I use it. I just google it.

Yep, that's what it there for.

It's funny how people go to length here about smoke when many restaurants uses liquid smoke after it's been through the broiler.

You go to any top rated steakhouse, it's a broiler method. Then when they say it's fire grilled. It's simply a quick 2 mins on the indoor grill for marks and then add liquid smoke to it. People can't tell the difference because the steak is done perfect.

The problem with using a real fire pit or grill is that temperature is very hard to control especially on a charcoal grill. So I think it's easier to do the broiler method and then add some liquid smoke to it for flavor.

I should have added Filet Mignon to the title also.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Well seasoned cast-iron pan. I put it in the oven and set it for 500 and give it a good preheat. I pull it out of the oven turn the oven to 375 put it on the stove top turn on the stove top to about medium I think. I take the steak, and I usually eat filet mignon cause it’s the right size.

I coat the steak well in vegetable oil, and then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. I sear it on one side for one minute 30 seconds, flip it, one minute 30 seconds, flip it back, stick it in the oven depending on how thick it is 4 to 6 minutes flip it again another 4 to 6 minutes. They tend to cut steaks like an inch and a half thick out here. And I tend to like my meat more medium. Pull it out and then take it out of the pan and let it rest for a few minutes make a salad, and the secret ingredient is Wishbone Russian dressing. I use Wishbone Russian dressing. It’s the best thing in the world to use as a steak sauce. It’s not too acidic, the tomato base really adds to the meaty taste, and the celery seeds just kick it up.

I hardly ever set off smoke detectors when I cook. I must be doing something wrong.
My son has.
