A skillet is fine too of course. I don't think that oil is necessary
in a well-seasoned pan unless your steak is extremely lean.

The skillet should be VERY hot. How hot exactly depends on a number of
things, like the thickness of the cut, how well done you like the meat,
etc.

I wouldn't cover the steak.
