Oh, the cut matters too. Some cuts are just cheap and tough by nature.

You want some good marbling. The marbling would help with the tenderizing.

I taught my kids how to cook steak. I'm done cooking everday unless I want to. It was the easiest quickiest thing I could teach them to cook.
So, I was laying in bed last night smelling the aromas of steak cooking. I smiled and was pleased to see that I had taught them well. Sigh of relief, the cooking "monkey" is off my back.

I usually grill mine. Make some whiskey marinade
(1/4 cup Olive Oil. 2 tablespoons Evan Williams Honey Whiskey. 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce. 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar. 3 clove Garlic (smashed) 1 tablespoon Ground Black Pepper. 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes). Let it marinade overnight.
Over cherry wood. Let the grill get to 140 degrees and grill it for 4 minutes on each side for medium steaks.

Don't cook with a lot of heat.
!!! Cast iron skillet.
Marinade your steak with your favorite spices and ingredients.
Olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, bit of homemade spicy paprika sauce
***Don't rush it.

A very easy method I do is put a blend of the seasonings you want on the raw steak. Then smack the fuck out of it with a tenderizer. That really helps make it tender. If you really want to be fancy look up some easy to make marinade, and let it chill in that shit for a night. Or longer if you want. Get the pan really hot, then throw some butter or oil in it. Then quickly sear both sides of the steak, and eat it. Practice a few times till you perfect the method, or add your own twist to it over time. Eventually you will have it down to a science. You can grill it too, which makes it even better imo.

The first key to preparing great steak is getting quality meat!
I prefer new york dry-aged ( or really anything type of dry aged steak)
or grass-fed Kobe from my local high-end grocery store which was founded by butchers....
so in your case I would go to a meat shop/butcher!
Step 2- i only every prepare my steak on a grill - so
preheat a gas grill to 400 degrees
(takes about 45 min to an hour to get up to temperature)
step 3- sprinkle garlic salt or Santa maria seasoning on both sides of the steak
step 4- rub butter on both sides of the steak
step 5 - lightly grill char a couple of chillis ( jalapenos or serranos will do ) and green onion on your grill to season the grill before placing the steak down
step 6 - place steak on grill and continue turning and basting/rubbing with butter on each side as it cooks
move the steak around/watch for flare ups and adjust accordingly
Note* FAT IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE ...so this process will frequently cause flames to rise well above the grill plate
step 7 - cook to medium rare on both sides ( about 135 degress in terms of internal temperature)
step8 - place on a bed of freshly chopped green onion to rest for at least 10-15 minutes
step 9 - ENJOY!!!!
