Summer time is here! Meaning, it's time to have some fun in the sun and that includes outdoor grilling with some good food. In our family we do love to grill. It is most definitely my dear hubby's job (since I don't like to mess with it) but I usually do the preparation. This year's summer however is a different story. It has been raining a lot lately, so the alternative of grilling outdoor will be at my cast-iron skillet and oven (indoor). This recipe is one of our top scrumptious grilled foods that can be done indoor, rain or shine.

Recipe adaptation: Real Simple
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup orzo
1/2 cup dry white wine
10 oz. mushrooms, sliced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup grated parmesan (I recommend using a freshly grated cheese)
freshly ground pepper, to taste
dash of dried rosemary
Heat oil on the pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until evaporated. Add the orzo and chicken broth and simmer until broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in Parmesan, rosemary and pepper. Serve warm with steak and steamed asparagus.
Pan Seared Steak

Pan Seared Steak
2 (1 1/2-inch thick) steaks (I personally prefer boneless rib-eye and filet mignon for hubby)
Olive oil to coat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (or seasoning of your choice)
Place 10 to 12 inch cast iron skillet in the oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Make sure your steak is in room temperature, brushed with olive oil both sides and seasoned with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasoning.
When oven reached its temperature, place cast iron skillet on the stove top over high heat temperature. Cook steaks in the hot, dry pan without overcrowding and moving for 30 seconds. Flip steaks with tong and cook for another 30 seconds then immediately put the pan back to the oven for 2 minutes (medium rare), flip steaks and cook for another 2 minutes. If you prefer medium or medium well, add another minute or two on each side.
Remove steaks from pan, cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
