Masonite comes in several different colors and designs and you can easily run wood screws thru it or glue it to wall with liquid nails if you prep wall good.

An electrician told him not to use stainless steel? He needs to find a real electrician. That is the silliest thing I ever heard. Has his electrician ever been in a commercial kitchen?
A piece of stainless sheet metal is by far the best. Easy to clean up and looks nice. Can be held up with a few screws.
A smooth-finish piece of paneling will also work. Melamine they used to call it. Same few screws will hold it on.

You need a fire rated backboard. Use ether a piece of unpainted 16 gauge galvanized steel or fire rated drywall sheet. Fur either one (steel or drywall) from the existing wall about 1/2" or so. If you need to pierce the firewall for electric pass through, you can buy fire wrap to cover the junction box. If your range backs up to the garage wall, you likely need to do nothing - the garage wall is already fire resistant, unless the house is VERY old. The spec. that covers this is ASTM E119-88. and ASTM E136. Try Grainger, catalog # 398, page 2054-2055 for sealants, putty and electrical pass throughs. Kudos for you for paying attention to the manufacturers recomendations on this issue. If this is a replacement, make sure that the electrical service is rated for the new range, and pay careful attention to the type of wire that feeds the outlet. Aluminum wiring (most common) requires special care to make sure that the splices in the box are made correctly.

First figure your screw holes it would be nice if you hit a stud for support. Then go to a sheet metal shop have them cut you a piece of stainless They will even punch the mounting holes for you. I don't know where your electrician is coming from some modern kitchens and most commercial kitchens are loaded with stainless counters, back splashes, etc,etc.

beg to differ with the electrician stainless is the way to go if ur looking for quick fix dont forget u want easy clean up somthing u can just wipe with wrag other alternative would be mica material wich could be glued on and comes in variaty colors patterns ect.all other solutions such as tile ect. would be more work .

Many homes have only painted drywall. With all due respect since you so adamantly state what you DON'T want, perhaps you'll share what you DO?
"Simple" and "Easy" are relative. You obviously want something to take care of with ease for the OOOPS that must happen
Pull the stove out; prep the wall and install regular tile?

Here's an inovative idea. I used this as a backsplash and after 15 years it still looks good.
Buy a sheet of standard 1/2"OSB (oriented strand board). Present cost? $6 to $8 per sheet. I stained mine dark mahogany, but any color stain will look good. Don't sand it! I laid the panel on a flat surface and rolled 3 coats of water based poly on it. When it was dry, I used construction adheasive to apply it to the wall.
It looks good and cleans easily.

The simplest would be a 3'x3' piece of aluminum, or galv. steel avaiable in almost any hardware/home improvement. Simply remove the floor tile and glue, or screw the plate over the area.

try the plastic tiles they put around the bathtub. U can use liquid nails to put up. cheap, easy to clean off grease or splatters from cookin. something different. good luck u can stencil or paint it too.
