Grill vs Black Cast Iron for Steaks

Cast iron by a mile for me

I prefer cast iron to grill. I'm to the point I use my grills propane side burner with cast iron pot for most meats. Elaborate on your issues.

i do both. Sear on screaming hot cast iron then transfer to grill.

I can cook with the best of them on a grill. But I have issues with a black cast iron skillet.

Same here. I just don't know the timing in the pan.
I've got my grill timing down to an art.My grill has cast iron grates and makes great grill lines.

If I marinate the steaks I use the grill..I don't marinate too much anymore but I still like the grill.

Timing isn’t as important as feel or even using a probe.

I always use feel, but like I said, I got a timing method too.

1" Rib-eye

Place steak on smoking hot grill and close lid.
Open beer and trow 4 retrievals for the dog, rotate steak 90 degrees, 2 more retrievals, beer is half empty.

flip steaks drink rest of beer and 3 more retrievals

feel steaks- Usually, they are perfect and ready to take off. It's crazy, but it works.

I’m a skillet guy.

Ii do a 1 inch Ribeye without cooking in the oven.

Comes out pretty good. Thicket stuff you either need to reverse sear or finish in an oven.
