sear

Explanation:
Just a guess - sounds to me like they are only in the pan long enough for it to make a 'mark' on them?

give it /create grill marks

Explanation:
GRILLING TIPS
The secret to getting perfectly seared grill marks on all your meats is starting with a very hot grill. For gas grills, set the temperature to high, close the cover and allow the grill to get very hot. For charcoal grills, wait until the coals in your grill become amber white. Be sure to remove the meat from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to grilling. Place the meat directly on the grill for two minutes without moving it, so that it sears quickly. Then, move the meat with a slight 45 degree angle to give it those professional grill marks. After two more minutes, turn the meat over and sear the meat to create the grill marks and again turn a slight 45 degree angle
