I marinated a flatiron steak in Korean Beef Marinade that I made. The marinade called for brown sugar, soysauce, etc. I cooked the beef in my cast iron frying pan. The steak turned out great -- tender and delicious! BUT ... my poor pan suffered. I think the brown sugar in the marinade carmelized and now my pan has areas of thick burnt sugar. I have soaked the pan in hot water and mild dishwashing soap, scrubbed it with a white Mr. Clean eraser sponge, but no luck. I hate using an SOS soap pad on cast iron, but I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions? The pan has been passed down from my grandmother so it has been well used. I need help!! Thanks for any ideas!!!
