OMG I tried the exact same thing, except substitute cast iron griddle for pan and you got it! Best steak I've had in awhile, but handling that hot griddle was scary (I'm a weakling).
The field is gorgeous. I never knew the names of the flowers and right now we are having amazing displays down here. Poppies are coming up all over. I'm already worrying about August. Wish I could walk through some of these places and have you tell me what they are. I'll take some images and see if I can ply some names out of you
