Now that we've got the basics covered, let's talk about cooking techniques. You can cook your steak in a skillet, on a grill, or even in the oven (although, let's be real, that's not as cool as grilling). Just make sure you've got a hot surface, around 400-500°F (200-260°C), and a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
For a skillet, cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a grill, cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until you get those nice grill marks. And for the oven, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-12 minutes, or until it reaches medium rare perfection.
