Can a pan be used to sear a steak?

Of course you can.

First, heat the pan over high heat and add a small amount of butter, or cooking oil if you don't have butter.

Then add the steaks and sear them for three seconds on each side, turning them over when they are lightly browned on both sides, then turn the heat down to low and allow the heat to even out.

And then fry the steak until it is cooked to your liking, about 5 minutes for the low heat process.
