Grilling gives you that smoky, campfire vibe, but pan-searing is the lazy genius option. Throw a hot cast-iron skillet on the stove, add a splash of oil, and listen to that sizzle—it’s basically the sound of success.

Or just cut a small slit and peek. Seriously, it’s your kitchen—you’re allowed to be curious. If it looks rosy and shiny, you’re golden.
