Steak-on-a-Stick, but in a pan

My Kroger fixes up some wonderful meals-on-a-stick in the meat department. There are two versions: chicken kabobs and steak kabobs. Both have about 4 huge chunks of meat on each stick, plus slices of bell pepper (red, yellow, & green) and onion. When one of these is put on Manager's Special, I snatch it up quickly.


I found the steak ones today. I bought two "sticks" worth, and you see in the pan how much there is! I used the new grill pan. I cooked it my usual way, first with high heat to sear and then lower for a few minutes. I could tell the meat was getting tough, so I stopped cooking. However, Ethan said that they were a little too pink inside. I got frustrated! Usually the sear method works. Ethan said I should cook these on lower heat for longer and let the heat dissolve the toughness. I'll try that next time. The peppers and onions were DELICIOUS. The meat was still good, just a weird combination of not done and overcooked!
