my recent favourite way to cook steak:
30 mins before, place steak in a bowl with equal parts olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and a good sprinkling of oregano. Rub it in thoroughly and leave to absorb.
Griddle pan on the stove, with a very little olive oil on it, get it very hot.
drop the steak in there (minus the marinade) - I only leave it a couple of minutes on each side, I like it pretty raw! Leave longer for medium. While the steak is grilling, drop some coarse sea salt over it to season, on each side.
the grill leaves some nice marks on the steak. Serve and enjoy!
Seriously, the oregano is not overpowering here and the remaining seasoning makes any steak juicy and really tasty - brings out the meat flavour.
I came across this method accidentally and it has received several compliments from friends and family.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
