How do restaurants get that char grilled flavour with a steak?

Do they actually have a char grill / BBQ in the kitchen?

If yes, seems a lot of fuss just for the occasional steak.

Just wondering if I can get the same effect.

I currently use a very hot griddled pan for my steaks.

Yes they have a very, very hot grill.

A popular steak restaurant could be doing 50 to 100 steaks per night as well as other grilled items.

Usually, I just do my steaks on my trusty old skillet. Get it smoking hot first and then drop the oiled and seasoned steaks onto it for 2 minutes a side. Using a pair of tongs to turn it so as not to let the juices out.

However, on occasion (mainly when cooking for guests) I do use the sous vide method and when done right that can produce the perfect steak in my opinion, it's just time consuming.

Yea, saw masterchef tonight and they had an indoor bbq oven that they lit and everything, I want one.

Will just stick with my screaming hot griddle pan and a seasoned steak, that does the trick.

The key to a good steak is cooking it on something ferociously hot. I use a griddle pan that has been on for at least 20 minutes, restaurants would have something even hotter.

I have a cast iron griddle that sits over two gas rings that achieves pretty much the same thing as long as I have the patience to let it get literally red hot. The griddle was less than £20.
