<human>:  What’s the easiest way to cook a steak?
<bot>: The easiest way to cook a steak is to pan-fry it. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, season the steak with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning of your choice, and add some oil to the pan – just enough to lightly coat the bottom. Place the steak in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches the desired doneness. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest before serving.
