I suck at cooking too. I overcooked this piece of meat and deleted the plate in 3 minutes because I was ashamed.

tip#1

tap the steak with paper towel before you cook it to get the moisture out

to cook a good steak, you need to fry the surfaces to encapsulate the meat juice

the extra moisture is going to "steam" the steak

@edit @to @nicolasdavis.eth

tip#2

don't use olive oil, instead use canola or other cheap oil that has higher smoke point

if you use olive oil to cook steak, you're most likely going to burn all your ingredients unless you want your steak super rare

@edit @to @nicolasdavis.eth

tip#3 

salt + pepper + garlic + herbs (i like thyme)

don't buy "premade seasoning" from costco - all you need to cook good steak are those four

for garlic, slit up little openings for it to get evenly cooked & release more flavor

@edit @to @nicolasdavis.eth

tip#5

when "frying" the steak, you need to press down on the meat rather than just leaving it on the pan - the meat has tendency to warp(heh) because of the heat and it won't get an even cook unless you apply pressure on it

@edit @to @nicolasdavis.eth

tip#6

butter usage

you guys probably have seen the process of spooning melted butter on to steak

this is to "air" the butter to add more flavor

butter actually has a very very short flavor life under heat, and you can stop spooning it once the air bubbles die from the butter

@edit @to @nicolasdavis.eth

tip#7

always rest your steak

in theory all meat, including steak and even kbbq should be rested

under heat, the juice of the meat all gets contracted to the center

you need to wait and rest it out before you cut

rules

1. cut -> cook -> rest
or 
2. cook -> rest -> cut

@edit @to @nicolasdavis.eth

tip#8

use the remaining meat&butter oil to cook your veggies / mushrooms / potatoes

this is the gooood buttery, juicy remainder you should recycle

@edit @to @nicolasdavis.eth

tip#4

for herbs you can use it during the process of frying the steak

but what i also like to do is use it during resting - light herb leftovers up on fire and keep it together with steak to "smoke" the meat for more flavor
