I have never cooked a steak ever. First off, is it possible to make a steak on a pot as oppose to a pan?
I have something like this except it isn't that tall. Its probably like 75 percent of this in terms of height.

I use this mainly to cook pasta and steaming broccoli on the pot. Such as either put pasta or broccoli on it and put water... then steam it.
I know most people use actual pots where it looks something like this... the top picture where the pan is very low etc.

Or would i need a regular pan for this?
The other thing is i hear a lot about marinating steak etc. I never done this ever. I know there is steak like ribeye, tbone etc. Which is usually the best? Best steak to cook as my first steak to cook?
The other thing is when you buy the steak and because i never cooked steak... what do you need to put on the pan? I assume you need to put either vegetable oil or olive oil on it because you put the steak on it right? Obviously you can't just put the steak on it just like that? I know when i use to make eggs, i had to put vegetable oil on a pot before i put in the eggs. And once you do that and turn on the stove, then you basically just watch it and use that utensil to flip the steak around? And the other thing is typically how long should i be doing this for? How long should you let it be there?
And when i order steak at a restaurant, i always order medium rare... because that is what most people order. I know there is medium rare, well done etc. Well how do make your steak medium rare... or well done? Well done i know means cooked more so it basically means as dark as it can get? So im guessing its probably like another 5 more minutes on the pan as oppose to medium rare?
Also do i need to put salt or anything else on the steak prior to putting it on the pot or when it goes on the pot when cooking? I know people like putting seasoning etc. The only thing that i would want on the steak is some sauce that i could buy like the steak sauce.
Thanks all.
