I've found this one made by RangeKleen:

It seems to be what you are looking for. The surface is porcelain enameled,
which is NOT nonstick, in spite of what the listings say (Stick-Free
Porcelain). It comes in two sizes.
I've also used a broiler pan that had a cast iron grill surface. You were
supposed to preheat it under the broiler, then place the food on it and
return it to the broiler. I can't remember who made it and can't find it on
the net. This one also came in a regular oven and a toaster oven size.
My broiler pan was missing when I first moved into my current house. I
waited for neighboring houses where kitchen remodeling was going on, and
eventually managed to snag a broiler pan from the same model stove being
thrown out. It was in pristine condition. I don't think the home owner ever
used the broiler, or even the oven for that matter.
