Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
