Salt + pepper
Butter or oil
Optional: garlic, rosemary/thyme
How:
Pat the steak dry with paper towel.
Season both sides with salt + pepper.

Add a little oil, then steak. Sear 2–4 min per side.
Toss in butter + garlic/herbs at the end and spoon it over the steak.

Quick food safety heads-up (important):
If the steak is raw, keep that juice off other foods and wash the cutting board + knife with soap.
If it’s already cooked, you’re good—still wash the board, but no panic.
