No oven here and not felt the need to cook other than something on toast for a bit of Brit in the Far East. But will have a trawl through for some stove top recommendations in case I ever feel the urge to put on my apron.

Regarding the methods of cooking steak - in the UK we do not broil really. Our grills cook from above, our stoves and bbqs from below. Gas bbqs are great, and you can buy different wood chips for the flavour.

Steaks should be bbq'ed or cooked in a griddle pan, a smidgen of ground pepper and nice and pink. If you need to marinade for taste then the meat is not good enough. One of my favourite restaurants in the UK is Gaucho's where they bring you the different cuts to choose, and you select the method of cooking.

Actually miss a good steak - far too expensive for simple old me out here.
