Meat options for a small, ovenless kitchen

[sus]

It's the day before mother's day and I am visiting my family in Puerto Rico. I am renting an apartment that has no oven. Now, I had planned a nice meal for my family in my apt which included a lovely arugula salad, potato salad (could not escape this one as my father explicitly requested it as he only likes my recipe and he gets to eat it only when I visit). Now, I wanted to accompany the potatoes w. a simple steak, cooked in cast iron and then finished in oven. Today I woke up and realized that the kitchen has no oven! Now, to be honest, I think I already knew this but kept blocking it. Now, w/o an oven what kinds of simple good meats would you suggest I could possibly make? How? Chicken is out of the question (sick and tired of it), but I could replace the meat for some sort of seafood.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!

I think the easy answer is fish.

Also, any protein that is cut into small pieecs like crab, shrimp scallops, beef, or chicken, can be stir fried.

Why not just do the steak in the cast iron, without the oven?

ditto ...then let it rest

My first reaction would be the same. Do a pan roast with butter and herbs, and allow to rest.

Alternatively, you could borrow a lawn mower and join this thread!

I like it. Maybe do a surf and turf---scallops and 1inch or less thick london broil? Off to the supermarket to look around and experiment. Thanks so much for the inputs!!

Just so everyone knows, as i was headed to do the surf and turf my mother had already purchased some pretty hefty and tasty rib eyes. I improvised by cooking them in the cast iron, then turned it down and placed a flat pan (that I later found out buried somewhere in the apartment's owner pantry) pan side down over the steaks to create sort of an oven. The steaks were delish. I ended up making Ed's potato salad and everything was just delicious.
