cooking a steak dinner in a dorm?

For our 11 months together, I'm cooking my boyfriend a NY strip steak dinner...but we're both living in dorms this year. My common room has an oven/stove, but im missing one of those metal racks to cook it on. Any ideas how else I can prepare it?

1. Sautee it on the stovetop. Add some fresh mushrooms and onions and a little red wine at the end.
2. You can cook a steak in a frying pan. Put a little olive oil and margagrine in the pan cook on high for 8 minutes each side and yummy this will be med well.
3. Try a crock pot....the meat will be tender. Add veggies and potatoes and your dinner will be good to go all in one pot. And it's electric you don't have to do a thing except eat and cleanup. good luck.
4. Do you have a George Foreman? You could always cook it in there.
5. Steak can be tricky if you haven't really cooked red meat before. The easiest way to do it is to cook it on the stove top in a pan. Olive oil seasoned with a little salt and pepper, add your steaks. Ideally you want them to be pink in the middle. So between 6 and 8 minutes a side ought to do you. Use the drippings from the pan to deglaze your sauce. Add some beek stock, a little red wine, and some herbs, boil until it's got thickness and body (it runs off the back of a spoon in a continuous ribbon). Serve with fresh vegetables and yes, sauteed onions and mushrooms. Good Luck!
