I don't know the shape or form of an American steak, but here in Sweden a typical 1 kg/2 lb raw steak is 7-8in (long) x 4in (wide) x 3in (thick).
I've cooked steaks on top of the stove several times, in an iron pot (good for you, you get some extra iron with that).
- I cook/fry it in oil/butter on all sides at first at a high temperature - until it's got a nice, dark colour to the surface. Salt and pepper on meanwhile.
- Then add about 2 cups of liquid (whatever the recipe calls for... water+oil, spices, chopped onions or shallots, leek, garlic etc, maybe some cider vinegar or wine and Splenda + maybe more salt - another nice thing to put on top of the steak is a few filets of canned anchovies, they melt into the mead giving it a savoury flavour).
- Lower the temperature, put the lid on and let it steamboil/simmer until ready (about 30 min/lb of meat for rare/medium), i.e. an hour for 1 kg/2lbs. Or use a meat thermometer. Time/degrees will be provided on those.
- Turn steak a couple of times during cooking.
Keep the unsliced meat you don't consume immediately in the fridge with some of the stock that has formed. It'll last a couple of days.
