<human>:  How do I cook a steak?
<bot>: To cook a steak, you will need a good quality steak, seasonings of your choice, a pan suitable for cooking steak, and oil or butter. Start by patting the steak dry with a paper towel, then season with your choice of seasonings, being sure to rub it in with your fingers. Heat the pan over medium-high heat, then add a tablespoon or two of oil or butter. When the pan is hot, place the steak in it and let it sear for about 30 seconds. Flip it over and let it cook for another 30 seconds. Then reduce the heat to medium, and continue cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Be sure to check the internal temperature of the steak until it reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Once done, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
