• Before cooking, make sure that when you remove the steaks from the refrigerator, that they have time to rest at room temperature. 
• Always season your meat with salt and pepper before cooking.
• Always preheat your pan so that it is sizzling hot before placing the steak on it. 
• Don’t put too many steaks in the pan at once, as they won’t cook at the same time if it is overcrowded. 
• Make sure that you put plenty of oil/butter in the pan to prevent the steak from sticking. 
• Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, this will help the steak to form a good sear.
