<human>:  I have never cooked a steak before. What is the best way to cook a steak?
<bot>: Start by selecting the right steak for your needs. Consider the cut, thickness, and fat content. Some cuts are better suited for grilling, while others are better for pan searing or broiling. 2 For a more tender steak with more of its natural juices intact, try a reverse sear. Start by heating your oven to its highest temperature, then place the steak on a baking tray and cook it for 8-10 minutes. 3 When the steak is done in the oven, allow it to rest outside of the oven for five minutes before transferring it to a hot pan. Sear each side of the steak for two minutes or until a good char has formed. 4 Finally, take the steak off the heat and let it rest for another five minutes before serving. Enjoy!
