<human>:  What is the best way to cook a steak?
<bot>: The best way to cook a steak is to season it generously with salt and pepper, then heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steak to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, flipping the steak once. Remove it from the heat once it has reached the desired doneness. Allow it to rest before serving.
