Instructions:

Prepare the steak: Season the steak with salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin (if using). Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest.
