<human>:  Could you teach me some tips for cooking the perfect steak?

1. Start with a quality cut of steak. Select a cut of steak from a reputable source that is at least one inch thick.
2. Prepare the steak. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
3. Preheat the skillet. Put a cast-iron skillet on the stove and heat it up over medium-high heat.
