One common mis(steak) is not letting it rest at room temp before cooking. It is important that the cut is around room temperature when you cook it or the center won't heat up at the correct rate.
Another common mistake is not preheating the pan long enough. You must have a very hot pan when you place a steak inside in order to sear the outside locking in the juices.
Along those lines, it is important not to use the wrong pan. Cast iron and stainless steel pans are suitable for use in the oven as well as the stove.
