Guess I’ll invest in an indoor grill like you and @imallears suggested. Do you think they are more beneficial than the oven broiler?

@jakeduck1
Glad I never got an air fryer. I don’t use the broiler much except for browning or crisping up a dish. Don’t like to do a steak that way. I think an indoor griddle /grill would be ideal for you. I’ve done a steak on the indoor grill but I sear it couple minutes both sides at high heat and then cover with a lid and lower temp so it cooks through .. to medium..or I have finished it in an oven. Don’t have steak all that much and opt for a petite fillet when I do...even well done, a petite fillet is so tender...worth the money.
The indoor grills are inexpensive...I really like my DeLonghi....there’s a lot to choose from on Amazon. They do have to be preheated for best results. The DeLonghi is a good size for one person or 2....Grill a hamburger and top with cheese which will melt if you but a pot cover over it and then it’s kind of like an oven.
Grilling and broiling are not similar In Broiling, the meat (for example) is not touching the heat and is a drier process unless you surround it with alum foil. You can get the juices on the grill....just tastes better when it’s sitting and cooking in its own juice and you can scrape up the bits.

Okay...vino time
Regards and happy cooking

@jakedduck1 I use a grill pan for steaks. They cook very well on it. I generally cut up mushrooms and/or shallots and put a little EVOO on the pan to cook them, then add the steaks. I do coat the steaks with a little EVOO too so they won't stick. If you put the oil on the pan it really does not stick well to the ridges.
If you do have one of these, the best way to clean it without scrubbing off the non-stick coating on the ridges, is to use a kitchen brush, gently. I know from experience that using one of the scrub pads made for teflon does take the coating off on the ridges.
