The advantages of a grill pan over a conventional pan are that the meat does not touch the frying surface with the entire perimeter. Due to this, pieces of meat do not lose precious juice, thereby remaining soft and tender from the inside, and from the outside they are covered with striped and an appealing ruddy crust.
In such a pan, the meat is fried for a relatively short time, if before that it is well marinated.
As a result, it turns out not only juicy, but also acquires a taste and spice of marinade. Serving grilled meat on a grill pan is recommended with fresh herbs, vegetables and various light snacks.
