Brush the griddle pan with some oil.  Wipe the steak dry with kitchen
towel.  Heat the griddle pan until the oil smokes.  Throw the steak on
(one at a time, for best heat) and cook for about three minutes.  Turn
and cook three minutes more.  Take the steak off and rest for five
minutes.  Serve.

That's it.  The main thing is the quality of your steak.

One of my favourite steak recipes is with a mustard cream sauce.  Cook
your steak in a frypan as above.  When done, lower the heat right down
and deglaze with a tablespoon of white wine.  Add a tablespoon of
wholegrain mustard and a couple of tablespoons of single cream.  Stir
and reduce until it's a sauce consistency.  Pour over the steak.
