salt and coarse pepper a good hour before cooking. cast-iron pan heated HOT. film of oil. sear steak on one side, about 4-5 minutes, then the other 4-5 minutes. reduce heat to low (the pan will take a while to cool), and cook, turning a couple of times (each side should get 3-4 times on the pan). also, turn it with tongs, not a fork. ETA: of course, a 10-minute rest. here's a good post on resting (not by me!)
