Pat the steak dry with paper towels. If grilling, lightly brush with oil. Season generously with salt (kosher if possible). Avoid black pepper, which can scorch at high temperatures.

Cook the steak over high heat using your preferred method. Cooking time will vary depending on the cut, thickness, and desired doneness. Remove from heat, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes.
