<human>:  Please describe the best way to cook a steak.
<bot>: The best way to cook a steak is to preheat your oven or pan to a high heat and season the steak generously with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add some oil or butter and place the steak in the pan, making sure it is well-seared on each side. Then, lower the heat and cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak. Once the steak is cooked to your liking, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
