Fry steak at a very high temperature, using butter or margarine or oil. Use a small amount of fat and add more as it dries out. Fry each steak individually to prevent juices from escaping. Fry them just before serving, as they tend to dry out when removed from the heat. It's best to season the steaks after frying with salt and pepper to avoid losing all the juices.
To make a nice caramelized crust on your steak, fry it as above and then remove it from the pan. Add a little more butter or margarine or oil and cook thinly sliced onions slowly until they're golden brown. If desired, add a splash of water to achieve a richer sauce.
Steak can be garnished in various ways: with fried tomato slices on both sides and seasoned with salt and pepper. Serve over the steak. Thinly sliced bell peppers or chopped asparagus also make a great accompaniment. Serve with rice, fried potato, mashed potatoes, etc...
A steak can be well done or undercooked, depending on personal taste. When well done, it's fried for longer. Undercooked steak is still a bit raw inside.
