There are few things better than a great steak. Cooking a great steak doesn't have to be tough either. In my mind there are 4 things you need to do to cook a great steak:
1. Choose a great piece of meat
2. Properly season the steak
3. Get a good sear on the steak
4. Nail the internal temperature
Do these 4 things and you will be rewarded with a great tasting steak.

Step 1 - Choose a great piece of meat. Quality matters when it comes to steak. It isn't all about grade either. Find a place than can consistently provide high quality steaks that care about how the animals are raised and you will be rewarded with an excellent steak. I really like Porter Road and have been a fan of theirs for years. There is definitely a place for a $10 grocery store steak but if you really want a great steak you will need to spend a bit more.
Step 2 - Properly season your steak - What seasoning you choose will be a preference issue but with a good piece of meat you don't need much beyond salt. I recommend salting the steaks at least 24 hours ahead of time and putting them in the fridge uncovered on a rack. The salt can penetrate the meat and the flavor of the steak will be that much better. Beyond salt the choice is yours. If you like garlic, use garlic. If you like a particular steak rub, use that rub. But a good piece of meat should be able to stand on its own with just some salt.
Step 3 - Sear the steak - You can do this as the first step of cooking (a front sear) or as the last step (reverse sear) but you want to get a nice crust on the outside of your steak. This will enhance the flavor and texture of the finished product. Use high heat and you can accomplish this on a grill or in a cast iron pan on the stove.
Step 4 - Nail your internal temperature. Again, this is a preference issue. I prefer most of my steaks medium rare. Some cuts are better a bit more rare and some are better a bit more on the medium side of things. Unless you have a ton of experience the best way to determine the internal temperature is with a good probe thermometer. I like the Thermoworks Smoke X4 and a Thermapen. They are top notch and will help you nail the exact doneness you are shooting for.
That's it. 4 simple steps and you will have a great steak.
